You the voter have the power to force our Incumbent Democratic Congressmen(and women) to honor their oath of office to protect our Constitution by calling for immediate impeachment hearings. It is not necessary that impeachment hearing be finished prior to the election, only that they are started. We the voters have the power to make this happen, but you will have to call your congressman repeatedly over the next two months. Contact information for Colorado congressmen can be found here . In addition, US House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers is calling the membership of the House Judiciary Committee back from their Fall recess to investigate Ron Suskind's revelations about the forged letter that falsely said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. It has been reported that the order to the CIA to have the letter forged came on White House Stationary. On Democracy Now today Conyers said "The 110th Congress isn't over. We're starting our work, and then we're doing it in a period where the Congress is in recess. I'm calling everybody back. We've got a huge amount of work to engage in."

In damning transcript, ex-CIA official says Cheney likely ordered letter linking Hussein to 9/11 attacks A forged letter linking Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was ordered on White House stationery and probably came from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a new transcript of a conversation with the Central Intelligence Agency's former Deputy Chief of Clandestine Operations Robert Richer. The transcript was posted Friday by author Ron Suskind of an interview conducted in June. It comes on the heels of denials by both the White House and Richer of a claim Suskind made in his new book, The Way of The World. The book was leaked to Politico's Mike Allen on Monday, and released Tuesday. See the rest of this story at: RawStory.com WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP BRING ACCOUNTABILITY TO BUSH & CHENEY Rep.

"The House Judiciary Committee has voted 20-14 to approve a contempt of Congress resolution against former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove for his failure to appear after a Congressional subpoena. Voting along party lines Wednesday morning, the committee said Rove broke the law by failing to appear at a July 10 hearing on allegations of White House influence over the Justice Department, including whether Rove encouraged prosecutions against Democrats. The committee decision is a recommendation. It remains unclear whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will allow a final vote." Are our House Democrats growing a spine? We can hope.

"It would start a new administration on the same level that George Bush left it. And that's a very sad thing." "Turley was particularly concerned about a recent statement by law professor Cass Sunstein, an Obama adviser, that only "egregious" crimes by Bush officials should be prosecuted by an Obama administration." "There are very few obligations that a president has to do under the Constitution, but one of them is not to violate the laws that he is supposed to enforce," explained Turley. Turley further pointed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's refusal to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president, saying, "I don't understand why some Democrats can't just simply accept a very straightforward proposition, that we'll prosecute any crimes committed by this administration, an Obama administration, a McCain administration. Because they're crimes. They're all egregious."

Our top priority in Washington, D.C., has been ending the funding of the occupation. That work is over for the next year, because Congress has provided that funding. We can still work against recruitment, we can still educate, we can still agitate, we can still oppose an attack on Iran. But one of our secondary priorities in Washington has been imposing a penalty for the illegal attack on Iraq in order to discourage future attacks on Iran or anywhere else. We have pushed half-heartedly for impeachment, with our main lobbying focus on cutting off the money. Now, at the same time that the money is a done deal for another year, the possibility of impeachment is beginning to spark. After over two years of declaring impeachment "off the table," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has relented and suggested that some sort of preliminary hearing be held in the Judiciary Committee - and specifically on the impeachable offense of misleading a nation into war. If the peace movement is not just a movement against one war or occupation, but a movement for peace, we should push with everything we've got for that (impeachment) hearing to happen, happen soon, and happen well. We should ask everyone who cares about peace to phone Pelosi and Committee Chairman John Conyers, as well as their own representatives, whom they should ask to introduce their own articles of impeachment. We've been on a losing streak, brothers and sisters, and the door is cracking open toward a major victory. Let's open that door fully and lead a peaceful march of millions through it. http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/34705 PLEASE CALL and demand that Impeachment Hearings be started BEFORE the Election House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, Jr.: (202) 225-5126 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-4965 And your Congressman: Contact info Please join our weekly Impeachment Events, see our Calendar on the website ImpeachCO.com or in the Calendar here on ProgressNowAction.org John H Kennedy, organizer Impeach Colorado Coalition ImpeachCO.com .. http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/CqyT http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/CqyT/commentary#comments Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:32:28 MDT http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/CqyT John H Kennedy http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/profile_picture/5e4c96e6db734362f3_l5hmv2v71.jpg John H Kennedy 0 http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/comment_rss/CqyT/ 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.

Lewiston St. Aurora, CO 80017 720-296-1936 Veterans, their families and friends taking back America NEWS RELEASE Immediate Release Contact: Jim Hudson May 20, 2008 720-296-1936 COLORADO VETS GROUP CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF CHENEY AND BUSH Colorado Veterans for America (CVA) today called for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush. CVA is a 2,000 member nonprofit group that has endorsed and worked for successful candidacies of U.S. Senator Ken Salazar, U.S. Representative John Salazar, U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, and Joe Rice, state representative, House District 38 in Littleton. Both the President and Vice President repeatedly lied to Congress and the American people to bring us and other nations to war against Iraq and to continue that war, said CVA Acting President Jim Hudson. And both willfully promoted and attempted to cover up U.S. policies of barbarous torture and brutality leading to death and disability of combatants as well as innocent Iraqi civilians. In doing so, both violated U.S. law, international law, and simple morality. And they undermined the worldwide dignity, integrity, and goodwill earned through the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of precious Americans lives in earlier just and necessary wars, Hudson added. CVA's members actively campaign for candidates that share the group's values by making individual contributions, marching with candidates in parades, campaigning door-to-door, phone banking, recruiting volunteers, sponsoring fundraising events in their homes, writing letters-to-the-editor, phoning radio talk shows, conducting press conferences, and holding demonstrations or push-back activities. #### http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/Cqsk http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/Cqsk/commentary#comments Tue, 20 May 2008 13:08:17 MDT http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/Cqsk John H Kennedy http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/profile_picture/5e4c96e6db734362f3_l5hmv2v71.jpg John H Kennedy 0 http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/comment_rss/Cqsk/ Enough of you helped helped with donations to make sure that the Nixon Flooding Plan-Impeachment ad got into Roll Call the Capitol Hill Newspaper this week.

I think that, if we don't properly handle our nomination process over the next month, we could lose ALL of the support and good will gained with voters since 2006.

Supporting doc: The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News get hurt with Deep 10 % Circulation Declines They are vulnerable to our pressure NOW!! 2. attack his relationship with his employees: Email his professional journalists and remind them of the ideals they were taught and suggest the Post is corrupting them and they are letting down their Country by meekly accepting the status quo. 3. attack his relations with his subscribers: Remind subscribers they are paying for unbiased news, not indoctrination by a looney far right publisher. 4. attack his credibility everywhere by marginalizing him. since any uttering is biased why should anyone subscribe, since any uttering is sophmoric, vitrolic and irrational, why take him seriously? Going on the Attack is a lot more Fun... don't you think? Our Impeachment Group does a weekly rally in front of the Denver Post building at E Colfax & Broadway every Wednesday at 4:45-6:00 pm Why not join us Tomorrow and bring some home made signs skewering The Post? If I have time I'm going to make a large cloth Banner which will say something like "HATE Paying For BIASED News? CANCEL it!" My subscription is due for renewal today so I have decided not to renew it. My own personal Boycott This could be loads of fun.

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. -Eli, Matt, Karin, Wes, and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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.

Progressive Democrats Of America had a major presence at the California Democratic Convention and pressed for adoption of a resolution by the California Dems to investigate and Impeach Bush and Cheney. And across the nation on April 28 the many member groups of A28 http://A28.org held 100s of Impeachment rallys. There were five in Colorado including two on last Saturday in Denver spondored by local activist groups. The groups in Denver were Weekly Vigils To Impeach Link , Progressive Democrats of Colorado http://pdcolorado.org , Impeachment By The People Link , and Colorado 911Visibility Link Dave Chandler of the Metro Denver Greens counted at least 75 in attendance.(photos) Link Other photos at Link We were glad to see MoveOn members there as well. Thanks guys. At the MoveOn organized Veto The Veto Rally on Wednesday May 4 a great many Impeach Bush and Cheney signs were in view. The event was supported by most Colorado activist groups from the Denver area and many attended. I think there were perhaps 2-300 total there. The group occupied the entire block between Colfax and 14th on Lincoln at the Capital. MoveOn has for some years kind of ignored the possibility of impeachment but even it is being pressured by other activist groups and by its own members to deal with impeachment. At an A28 California Impeachment Rally many were from MoveOn. "One third of those were Move On members," said Will McRae, MoveOn coordinator for San Diego County. "For MoveOn to pretend impeachment isn't on the table is the same as Pelosi. They need to put it on their website [for a vote]. We owe it to our members." Link At the California Democratic Convention PDA president Tim Carpenter called passage of the impeachment resolution by California delegates "the culmination of one month of effort by PDA to put the issue of investigating, accountability and impeachment" on the table. On Saturday, Carpenter revealed, he met with Pelosi. "I think the fact that she met with us shows she is a listener," he said, but he added, "We agreed to disagree." Impeachment is a constitutional imperative, he believes. "If we don't begin to talk about impeachment, the next president will be allowed to torture, do wiretapping, lying, and engage in manipulation of everything in signing statements," the PDA leader predicted. Jim Dean, head of Democracy for America and brother of Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean, said "I think it's more on the table than people think." Some of the above from this article by Miriam Raftery at Rawstory.com Published: Wednesday May 2, 2007 Link The California Democratic Party held its Annual Meeting and passed a resolution CALLING FOR FULL INVESTIGATION INTO ABUSES OF POWER BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND RICHARD B. CHENEY Text of CA Democratic Party Impeachment Resolution April 30, 2007, San Diego, CA Link REAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have acted in a manner contrary to their trust as President and Vice President, subversive of the Constitution, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of California and the United States of America, by intentionally disseminating and propagating knowingly false and fabricated "evidence" regarding the threat from Iraq in order to wage a tragic, bloody war with the loss of thousands of brave American troops and Iraqi civilians, and WHEREAS, it is clear that since September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have abused their powers of office by: 1) using information they knew to be false as justification for the U.S. invasion of Iraq; 2) condoning and authorizing the torture of prisoners of war; 3) authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without obtaining a warrant; 4) disclosing the name of an undercover CIA operative contrary to law in order to harm her for her husband's opposition to the Iraq War; 5) having suspended and denied the historic Writ of Habeas Corpus by ordering the indefinite detention of so-called enemy combatants without charge and without access to legal counsel; and 6) overstepping Presidential authority by signing statements used to ignore or circumvent portions of over 750 Congressional statutes he brought into law; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the California Democratic Party supports vigorous investigation of these charges by the Congress of the United States, including the full use of Congressional subpoena power authority to completely disclose the actions of the Administration to the American people and to take necessary action to call the Administration to account with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment. Submitted by Senator Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party; CDP Resolutions Co-Chairs; Emily Thurber; Bob Farran; Michael Barnett; Tim Carpenter, Joye Swan; Patrick Henry Demo Club; 69th AD Cmte.; The Hull-Richters; Alexandar, Mark and Natasha (Adopted April 29, 2007) Impeachment of at least Cheney is coming... it is just a matter of time.

If you believe that Bush & Cheney should pay a political price for lying us into the Iraq War and a myriad of other crimes.... YOU WILL SHOW UP Thanks in advance ------------------------------------- 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 Denver A28 events are Sponsored by these activist groups WeeklyVigilsToImpeach.US Link We perform Weekly Vigils To Impeach and To Stop The War Now, on Tuesday at Rep. DeGette's office, E 6th & Grant and on Wednesday at the Colorado State Capital, Lincoln and 14th. Both events start at Noon for one hour.
