USAToday.com has published an editorial criticising Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's handling of free speech issues that affect all voters who treasure their Constitutional right to speak out. The Mayor wrote his own rebuttal and I added my comments about the threats our Impeachment Group received from the Denver Police recently.

Per RawStory.com article: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be changing her tune. The Democratic leader said Thursday that the House Judiciary Committee could be holding hearings on impeachment articles introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) sometime in the near future.

The Bush Impeachment Resolution H Res 1258 was refered to the Judiciary Committee today. Nearly all Democrats voted for it to be buried in the Committee.
I find it very strange that an experienced legislator like Kucinich would not call for a vote on floor debate first (as he did with the Cheney Resolution), as opposed to instead calling for a vote to refer the measure directly to committee where he knows that no action will probably be taken, ever.
It is my belief that Kucinich was allowed to introduce the measure by Pelosi with the requirement ( or expectation) that the only vote would be one referring it to committee, which would then allow all House Democrats to claim they voted to study the resolution rather than vote to kill it. It is a smoke screen to make it plain to the voters and the media that the
impeachment issue is dead for good.
Once again the House Democrats prove they are not worthy to call themselves patriots.
The only way to get the House Democrats to honor their oath and protect the Constitution is to make them fear losing their jobs. Of course some of us don't have the willingness and courage to make that happen.

From http://justanothercoverup.com/?p=494
If attempting to impeach the President of the United States isn't "Breaking News", then what is?
"If CNN would have covered this important event, Americans could have tuned into C-Span and understood the many crimes that the Bush administration has perpetrated against the American public.
It is the lack of knowledge of the general public that has allowed President Bush to break our laws with impunity!
It is the enabling of news sources such as CNN that are partially responsible for this criminal administration, and they share in the blame of the many crimes that President Bush is guilty of."
And of course there is ProgressNowAction.org
On Tuesday I sent an email to ProgressNow asking to have my posting about the AOL.com Impeachment Poll placed on the Front Page so that members would have the best chance of knowing about the new legislation to Impeach President Bush, and would have the opportunity to vote in the AOL.com Impeachment Poll while it was still news. We were ignored, but the very next posting was placed on the Front Page, though not near as important as an Impeachment.
If an impeachment resolution isn't something that should get on the Front Page I cannot imagine what would be. How much do these people Hate Our Constitution that they will suppress important political event news. I do not think the word Hate is inappropriate. They have made it very plain that impeachment advocates should just shut up and go away.
Is ProgressNow attempting to dumb-down their members? Keep them in the dark about Bush's crimes? Do they provide this website so Progressives can discuss issues or so they can manipulate the members?
It would have been nice to at least get a reply to our email message.
Impeachment may not occur but it will not fail because of the Republicans but because of the corruption within the Democratic Party and organizations such as this one.

I have started a discussion on the Denver Post website about the Iraq War and how it relates to the current very serious economic downturn.
I believe that the pre-war WMD lies of Cheney and Bush are the root cause of the looming economic disaster we all face. Yes, there are other reasons, but this is the key cause.
The war disrupted oil supplies and that has caused the cost of food and fuel to rise tremendously, severely impacting family budgets and causing damaging high inflation.
I think our Congressmen need to act now to put the blame squarely on the two dangerous politicians who caused the misery, Cheney and Bush.
You can read the article and the comments here: Entitled: 4 in 5: U.S. steering off map.
This Denver Post article will be read by many in Colorado this week and I think you should include your comments on the Denver Post website as to whether or not our Congressmen should immediately call for Impeachment Hearings.
I believe Impeachment Hearings need to be held prior to the November election or the opportunity to repudiate all that Cheney and Bush have done to our Country, our Constitution and the Separation of Powers will be lost forever. Our House Democrats will want to move on with their careers after the election and will ignore the disastrous and unconstitutional actions of Cheney and Bush.
Please try to stay on topic and keep your comment short and to the point.
Should Congress start holding them accountable by holding Impeachment hearings on Vice President Cheney?
Yes or No! Make that the point of your comment
Your support by commenting on this article will make a difference.

Failure to hold impeachment hearings will mean that the Bush/Cheney crimes against our Constitution and Separation Of Powers will become precedent and more likely to be used by rogue future Presidents.
The next few months before the election may be our last chance to have any meaningful accountability brought against the Bush/Cheney Administration.

I posted a brief note here stating that Udall was supporting impeachment which linked to a page on our website
that just said "April Fool".
It was censored and deleted. This is not the first time the PNA staff has deleted postings which made comments about Udall that they did not like.
Is PNA's staff losing it's sense of humor or is only their version of progressive speech allowable on this website?
Is this organization really progressive if they censor opposing views?
What do you think?

During the week of November 5, Dennis J. Kucinich will introduce on the floor of the House of Representatives a bill to impeach Vice President Cheney(H Res 333). Exercising his right of personal privilege, his courageous act will put members of the House on record. Are they going to fulfill their oath of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic or just look the other way?

They were elected to Stop The Iraq War and get accountability for Bush and Cheney. They haven't delivered on their promises. That they do not have the Votes IS A LIE. It only takes a simple majority in the House to Impeach. Cheney will resign before it leaves the House.
Pelosi's plan to pass a few popular bills and embarass Bush is only wasting time and getting soldiers killed and maimed.
Impeachment is the Only bill that Bush by law cannot veto and the Supreme Court cannot overturn.

MoveOn's Petition to: Stop Executive Overreach
MoveOn has distributed this Petition to tell Congress
to demand answers by Subpoena from the Bush administration
about the Iraq war and their illegal spying program, and not back down,
to hold Vice President Cheney in contempt of Congress
and send over the police if necessary,
And if that doesn't work, Impeach the guy.
Well done MoveOn, count me in and tell me what I can do get more Americans to sign this petition.
I hope all MoveOn members will sign this petition now! And have a Great Fourth Of July.
Dear MoveOn member,
You've probably seen the news this morning: President Bush let Cheney aide Scooter Libby, the one man who was convicted for the lies around the Iraq war, go free. Paris Hilton served more jail time than he will.
Bush and Cheney think their administration is above the law. That's un-American, and this July 4th it's time for Congress to re-assert its constitutional authority and
top the administration's obstruction of justice.
Congress can start until they get them. Cheney won't testify? Subpoena him. He won't come? Hold him in contempt of Congress and send over the police.
And if that doesn't work, impeach the guy.
We just can't let President Bush and his administration dismantle our Constitution.
This July 4th, it's time to bring checks and balances back again. Click here to sign the petition and send a message to Congress to act now (the text of the petition is in the box to the right):
Link
Then please send this message to your friends, family, and others who would be interested. This issue has everyone outraged--only 32 percent of Republicans agree with the president's decision.
This isn't just about the Bush administration, of course. Law is determined through precedent. If Congress doesn't rein the Bush administration in, it'll change the rules for every administration that comes after.
And letting Libby off the hook is only the most recent example of a consistent Bush administration pattern of obstruction of justice.
When their illegal program of warrantless wiretapping was revealed, the Bush administration refused to answer subpoenas from Congress to testify about what, precisely, they were doing. When Attorney General Alberto Gonzales--the nation's highest law-enforcement officer--testified in front of Congress under oath, he lied and said the program didn't exist.2
And in retrospect, it's clear what Bush meant when he said this about the Plame case back in 2003: "[I]f there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of."3 Last night, Bush certainly took care of Scooter Libby.
On Sunday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy said he would hold Cheney and others in the administration in contempt of Congress if they refused to directly answer questions. Members of Congress are asserting their authority and standing up.
But they need to know the American people are behind them. Can you take a moment to click this link and send that message right now?
Link
As they say in civics class, America is a country of laws, not of men. It's time for Congress to stand up and use them.
Let's celebrate Independence Day by reaffirming the basic, founding idea of our government: No one, not even the president of the United States , is above the law.
Thanks for all you do.

Something for patriots to do in Denver on July Fourth
All of you who are outraged at the un-Constitutional actions of Libby, Cheney, and Bush should show up at Colorado's longest running Impeachment Rally on July 4th at 5 pm at Colfax & Broadway in Denver.
This event is part of a Colorado Impeachment effort that has been quietly taking place twice a week since Jan 23rd. We have held at least two impeachment events each week in Denver. Join us. Link
We will have signs. You may bring you own. Just show up to show your love of Country. Now is the time to come to the defense of your Constitution and Laws. Cheney, Libby and Bush's Neocons will literally get away with murdering 3,500 US soldiers over Cheney's WMD lies. Don't let them get away with it. Show your outrage. Show up.
Perhaps we may yet prove to Denver's Corporate Media that the Voters Last Resort "Impeachment" is not off the table. Cheney is very vulnerable to Impeachment.
Call 800-828-0498 and tell all of Colorado's Congressmen to become a Co-Sponsor on US Rep Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill H Res 333.and if you can find the time, Call All Of the Country's Congessmen to do the Same.
This last week Kucinich's Impeach Bill picked up more Co-Sponsors... It Will Happen.
The Democrats will not be able to ignore Impeachment because of the revelations of un-Constitutional actions by Cheney will come out. They will look like fools if they don't Impeach, and lose in November 2008.

In Just eight days four more Democrats have decided to back Impeachment of Vice President Cheney.
The support is steadily building for repudiating all that Cheney and his Neocons have done to the reputation and security of America.
To my knowledge thus far no Colorado Congressman or woman has offered any support for US Rep. Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill H Res 333.
Congressman Diana DeGette recently emphatically stated that she will not become a Co-Sponsor on Kucinich's bill.
This just in from David Swanson's blog on AfterDowningStreet.org Link
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Chair of the Out of Iraq Caucus, has joined Congresswomen Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey, the two Co-Chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, as well as Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Chief Deputy Whip and a member of the Steering and Policy Committee, and Congress Members Yvette Clarke, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).
For details, see http://impeachcheney.org/
On Wednesday, June 13, Waters and Kucinich plan to hold a press conference in Washington, D.C., to discuss "Renewed Efforts in the House of Representatives to Impeach Vice President Cheney." The event is planned for 9:30 a.m. at the Cannon Terrace (on the outside of the Cannon House Office Building).
The reference to "renewed" efforts may be related to this discussion of impeaching Cheney in which Congresswoman Waters engaged in April 2006: Link
Congreswoman Waters is also a US House Judiciary Committee Member.
Congresswoman Waters has spoken out strongly on this issue since June 16, 2005:
Earlier Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, joined Lynn Woolsey, the other Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Congress Members Yvette Clarke, Jan Schakowsky, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).
Say Thank You to Barbara Lee here: http://tinyurl.com/yqt9hw
Say Thank You to Lynn Woolsey here: http://tinyurl.com/28nxpo
Ask Lee and Woolsey to please encourage other Progressive Caucus Members to sign on.
Ask other Progressive Caucus Members to please sign on. See the Congressional Progressive Caucus website: http://cpc.lee.house.gov
The list of state Democratic Parties that have passed resolutions urging impeachment of Bush and Cheney has just grown to 15.
Meanwhile, 11 state legislatures have introduced such resolutions
Many True Conservatives hate what Cheney has done to the GOP and would support impeaching him if the Democrats would lead the way.
Unfortunately Speaker of the US House Nancy Pelosi is the major obstructionist to impeaching Cheney. Pelosi took impeachment off the table one year ago and before the 2006 election. Everyone should be aware of that by now. I'm still not convinced that the Democratic Leadership is aggressively pushing investigations in the WMD lies that got us into Iraq. ( Thats my opion and I'm sticking with it Ralph).

and
Effort to Impeach Cheney growing in Congress, Will grow faster if you call 800-828-0498 & Tell your Rep. to Co-Sponsor H Res 333 Kucinich's Impeach Bill Link
..
The support is steadily building for repudiating all that Cheney and his Neocons have done to the reputation and security of America.
To my knowledge thus far no Colorado Congressman or woman has offered any support for US Rep. Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill H Res 333.
Congressman Diana DeGette recently emphatically stated that she will not become a Co-Sponsor on Kucinich's bill.
This just in from David Swanson's blog on AfterDowningStreet.org Link
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Chair of the Out of Iraq Caucus, has joined Congresswomen Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey, the two Co-Chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, as well as Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Chief Deputy Whip and a member of the Steering and Policy Committee, and Congress Members Yvette Clarke, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).
For details, see http://impeachcheney.org/
On Wednesday, June 13, Waters and Kucinich plan to hold a press conference in Washington, D.C., to discuss "Renewed Efforts in the House of Representatives to Impeach Vice President Cheney." The event is planned for 9:30 a.m. at the Cannon Terrace (on the outside of the Cannon House Office Building).
The reference to "renewed" efforts may be related to this discussion of impeaching Cheney in which Congresswoman Waters engaged in April 2006: Link
Congreswoman Waters is also a US House Judiciary Committee Member.
Congresswoman Waters has spoken out strongly on this issue since June 16, 2005:
Earlier Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, joined Lynn Woolsey, the other Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Congress Members Yvette Clarke, Jan Schakowsky, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).
Say Thank You to Barbara Lee here: http://tinyurl.com/yqt9hw
Say Thank You to Lynn Woolsey here: http://tinyurl.com/28nxpo
Ask Lee and Woolsey to please encourage other Progressive Caucus Members to sign on.
Ask other Progressive Caucus Members to please sign on. See the Congressional Progressive Caucus website: http://cpc.lee.house.gov
The list of state Democratic Parties that have passed resolutions urging impeachment of Bush and Cheney has just grown to 15.
Meanwhile, 11 state legislatures have introduced such resolutions
Many True Conservatives hate what Cheney has done to the GOP and would support impeaching him if the Democrats would lead the way.
Unfortunately Speaker of the US House Nancy Pelosi is the major obstructionist to impeaching Cheney. Pelosi took impeachment off the table one year ago and before the 2006 election. Everyone should be aware of that by now. I'm still not convinced that the Democratic Leadership is aggressively pushing investigations in the WMD lies that got us into Iraq. ( Thats my opion and I'm sticking with it Ralph).
You can reach the members of the House Progressive Caucus by calling 800-828-0498 ( just ask for each of their offices in turn, including Pelosi's)
See the list of members here: Link
You might also call the Washington Office of Colorado's US Reps and
Ask them to Co-Sponsor Rep. Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill:
It is a Free Call to Colorado Representatives Diana DeGette, John Salazar, Ed Perlmutter, and Mark Udall in Washington DC at 800-828-0498

Effort to Impeach Cheney growing in Congress, Will grow faster if you call 800-828-0498 & Tell your Rep. to Co-Sponsor H Res 333 Kucinich's Impeach Bill Link
..
The Cheney Impeachment effort in the US House is moving forward.
Congresswoman Yvette Clark (D., NY) has joined Congress Members Jan Schakowsky, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in Co-Sponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).
We now have 5 US Representatives backing Impeachment, Kucinich and 4 Co-Sponsors.
Kucinich will need more Co-Sponsors. If You care about the US Constitution and the US Soldiers who are dying and being maimed for Cheney's WMD lies You Should call Your Congressmen/women (at 800-828-0498) and demand that they become a Co-Sponsor on Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill.
Since Speaker Pelosi uttered her now infamous edict that 'impeachment is off the table' the movement toward impeaching any of the liars in the Bush Administration has grown slowly but it is growing. Recently Rep. Kucinich filed a Bill to impeach VP Cheney and it has taken off.
If Clinton can be impeached for a lie about sex, Cheney 'must be impeached' for lying about the reason for the Iraq Invasion and the 25,000 plus US Soldiers mained and the over 3,400 dead because of the lie.
None of the Colorado Democrats in Congress has offered support for impeaching Cheney.
They all deflect impeachment questions by saying things like: If we impeach Bush then Cheney will be president or we can't impeach because then Congress won't get anything else done.
Golly, if our state's representatives impeach Cheney then Cheney will never be president.
And not impeaching Bush gives them Bush to run against in Nov. '08. It is the best of all possible strategy for Democrats.
Show the international community we as a people repudiate Cheney and all he and his neocons stand for and coast into victory in '08 running
against Bush, the worst president American ever had.
Remember it is Bush's Iraq War but Cheney's manipulation of intelligence and WMD lies that gave Bush the opportunity to get Congress to vote for the invasion of Iraq.
The trial of Scooter Libby has produced overwhelming evidence that Vice President Cheney personally led the campaign to attack Joe Wilson through the media.
This "get Wilson" campaign included telling numerous reporters that Wilson was sent to Niger by his wife Valerie Plame, a CIA operative. Cheney was told by the CIA that Valerie Plame worked as a covert agent in the CIA's Nonproliferation Division, which is the critical division of the CIA responsible for stopping the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Is exposing a CIA agent a treasonable offence?
Cheney's efforts to expose Plame actually exposed her entire covert network, at tremendous cost to the CIA's secret war against terrorism. If Plame's work had been exposed by a double-agent in our government like Aldrich Ames or Robert Hanssen, that person would face prosecution for espionage and treason.
The evidence of Cheney's role is more than enough to start an impeachment investigation.
Real investigation will not start until Kucinich's Impeachment Bill is seriously considered by the House Judiciary Committee. Kucinich needs more Co-Sponsors to make that happen.
Now that Cheney's former Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby has been convicted and sentenced to 30 months in Federal Prison it is time to turn to his boss, Vice President Cheney. Is there a point where a Vice President who manipulates intelligence and facts about going to war commits treason?

Rep.Alice Borodkin emailed the good news a few minutes ago.
"We passed the Senate version(SMJ07-002). Actually, I was glad we did.
It had much stronger wording in it. If we did not pass that,
the entire resolution would have been lost."
See... all those emails we asked you to send to legislators really paid off.
The effort to influence the Senate to adhere to their version and the House Democrats to adopt the Senate version was enthusiastically supported by our 1StProtestInTheStreet.Org PNA group, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center of Boulder, CO and members of many other peace and justice and anti-war groups across Colorado.
More later... Ritter will surely sign it. Yes?

Senator Tupa says WE (you & me) can
Save the Colorado Anti-Iraq War Escalation Bill.
There are two versions, Senate & House. The Senate last voted to stick with their version. I'm told many House Representatives did not read the Senate version prior to voting on the House version. They will do today.
Now that it is going back to the House TODAY! there is a good chance to ask for passage of 'a bill' and/or compromise by both House and Senate Leadership to pass it TODAY or this week.
So please IMMEDIATELY.. Email the following
(or in your own words)
Subject: Please support Senate's SMJ2 or Find Compromise and Pass 'An' Anti-Escalation Bill this session.
I ask that you support the Senate Version of SMJ2 or find a Compromise position with Senator Tupa and the Senate Leadership.
Above all, Pass 'An' Anti-Escalation Memorial this Session.
Above all... support your Congressional Democrats in their struggle with Bush over ending the Iraq War.

MEDIA ADVISORY for Saturday April 28, 2007
Contact: John H Kennedy, Denver,CO email: johnhkennedy@yahoo.com
On Saturday April 28 Colorado Citizens will rally in favor of Impeachment
Colorado activists will demonstrate their demand for impeachment of Bush and Cheney at multiple locations in Colorado as part of the National A28.Org Impeachment Day
Colorado protesters will gather Saturday April 28 at six locations, two in Denver, one each in Fort Collins, Longmont, Greeley and Salida.
The first Denver rally will start at noon at East 6th and Speer and last for one hour.
The second Denver rally will start at 1:30 pm at Lincoln and Colfax, in front of the State Capital and in view of both of Colorado's two largest daily newspapers.
The activists will shout their demand that President Bush and Vice President Cheney be made to pay at least a political price for lying to Congress and the Voters about WMD and other questionable facts in order to obtain Congressional approval for the invasion and occupation of Iraq. If Voters lied to Congress to cause a war we'd probably go to jail. We believe Bush and Cheney should be held accountable to the same rule of law.
The groups insist that all of Colorado's Democratic Congressmen and Congresswoman Co-Sponsor US Rep. Kucinich's Articles Of Impeachment.
A quote from the A28 website: George Bush and Dick Cheney have lied the nation into a war of aggression, are spying in open violation of the law, and have sanctioned the use of torture. These are high crimes and misdemeanors that demand accountability through the Constitutional mechanism of impeachment. Since Congress doesn't seem to get it, we're calling on all Americans who stand for truth, freedom, and justice to join us on April 28 and spell it out for them: IMPEACH!

The possibility that Cheney and his Wooden Dummy(Bush) will be Impeached seems to be becoming more real.
In a blog today by Mary Ann Akers, The Sleuth, Behind the Scenes in Washington in The Washington Post...
Articles of Impeachment To Be Filed On Cheney
Looks like he's reached his boiling point.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on authorizing the war.
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Sources tell the Sleuth that in light of the mass killings at Virginia Tech Monday, Kucinich's impeachment plans have been put on hold. There will be no action this week, they say.
Kucinich's office had no comment on the Congressman's "Dear Colleague" letter -- which apparently was drafted over the weekend, before the school massacre -- or on what the focus of articles of impeachment against Cheney would be.
But Kucinich shouldn't hold his breath on getting anywhere with his impeachment plan. "We'll see a Kucinich Administration before we'll see a Cheney impeachment," quipped one Democratic aide.
Here is the text of his letter, a copy of which was forwarded to the Sleuth:
April 17, 2007
Dear Colleague:
This week I intend to introduce Articles of Impeachment with respect to the conduct of Vice President Cheney. Please have your staff contact my office . . . if you would like to receive a confidential copy of the document prior to its introduction in the House.
Sincerely,
/s/
Dennis J. Kucinich
Member of Congress

Sincerely,

As one who has been pushing for this since Jan 24th, 2007 every Thursday Noon at Lincoln & 14th at the Capital, I gotta say...
this is kind of interesting.
Please come Join Us tomorrow. Wed. at the State Capital at Noon.
We've had some great new Signs for you to carry....
Stop the War Now and Save 800 Soldiers who will die before Aug. '08
( and 8000 wounded, not including the non-combat deaths/injuries).
See the Rally Listing for Wed. April 18, 2007 (tomorrow) Link
Come and Join Us
We had a little fun with 'Foxy' the fox today... NO, not That Kind of Fun!
We heard that Frontier was doing a Campaign Interview style promo for the 'Foxy' Frontier's Favorite Animal at the Civic Center today across from the City Hall. So we thought this would be great test of our Concept of Instant Vigils.
We flew downtown and did a 'one indian' to their 'circle the wagons' maneuver. The media types applauded my arrival but grumbled later when they had trouble getting a shot without our signs in the background.
Our sign on one side said.
Call Foxy and tell her to
Stop the Iraq War
and impeach Bush
and on the other side
