Nick Juliano, Rawstory.com, writes:
The impeachment resolution’s sponsor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, requested a recorded vote on the motion around 3 p.m. Wednesday, and 24 Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in voting to send the impeachment measure to the committee.
What caught my attention is the fact that 24 Republicans voted for an impeachment inquiry to begin. This is, in fact, a resolution that has bipartisan support. However the major media does not state that it has Republicans supporting this resolution to begin an investigation into whether the facts justify impeachment charges to be sent to the Senate for trial. For example, Thomas Ferraro, Reuters.com, writes:
On a 251-166 vote, the House sent 35 articles of impeachment introduced by Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to the panel where they are expected to die.
No a single mention that 24 Republicans have voted for the Constitution and not their party.
AP had not a single story on the June 10th vote on Yahoo.com but there was a story written by Laurie Kellman, which was picked up by the San Diego Union Tribute:
Republicans, seeing a chance to force Democrats into an embarrassing debate, voted to bring up the resolution. Democrats countered by pushing through a motion to scuttle the bill from the floor.
But wait that graf was about Rep. Kucinich's resolution of impeachment of Dick Cheney not Mr. Bush.
Nothing on the front page from TheHill.com except a derisive note from their Capitolhillblue section about Rep. Kucinich:
Although Bush certainly deserves impeachment for all his high crimes against the Constitution, it will take someone with more clout and credibility than Kuchinich to make that happen. The Ohio Congressman that couldn't is a Capitol Hill joke and a laughing stock to other members on the Hill.
The Denverpost.com has the AP story.
The fact of the matter is that 24 Republicans joined the resolution. Even insurgent Republican candidate Ron Paul voted for it:
Ron Paul Votes for Bush Impeachment and the resolution Passes 266 to 155!.
Hmm lets see what the Senate will do. Any wagers they will kill it?
The corporate media does not want the people to know that Rep. Kucinich's resolution had bipartisan support. Nor do these journalists and pundits seriously consider the grave consequences of subsequent presidents who will have Mr. Bush as the precedent to act with divine right and not subject to the will of the other two co-equal branches of government.
Write and call your Congressional Representative and tell them that it is time for Chairman of the Judiciary Committee John Conyers to immediately convene a special committee of inquiry into the charges brought by Rep. Kucinich's resolution.
Thank DeGette, Udall, Salazar, and Perlmutter for voting for the Constitution.
Tell Senator Salazar to urge his House collegues to begin a formal investigation.
Tell Rep. John Conyers to have the courage of his convictions and not roll over to Speaker Pelosi and Majority leader Hoyer again. He wrote the book on Mr. Bush's impeachable offenses and now it is time to act on the resolution of 35 charges against Mr. Bush.
The people, meaning us, know that the truth can only be brought to light through a thorough investigation into how Mr. Bush and his cohort used the government for purposes that are directly counter to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and "rule of law".
Finally the word must get out through writing local and national newspapers, calling into political talk shows (call Rush and our local "Gunny" Bob and tell them Ron Paul voted for impeachment), and blog far and wide.
Now is the time...support Rep. Kucinich and remember Rep. Wexler fully supports this resolution. Let candidates know that Mr. Bush must be held accountable to our laws and for justice to those who have lost life and limb.
