Kucinich Introduces Historic Articles of Impeachment Against Vice President Richard Cheney
Democrats.com

(April 24, 2007) — Ladies and gentlemen, your tireless efforts for impeachment have finally borne fruit.

Your countless emails, calls, letters, town hall meetings, street protests, and huge marches have persuaded one courageous Member of Congress to start the impeachment process.

That Member is Dennis Kucinich, and here are his Articles of Impeachment, officially known as H.Res. 333.
More on Kucinich: http://kucinich.house.gov/ Articles of Impeachment (H.R. 333):
http://kucinich.house.gov/SpotlightIssues/documents.htm

In a nutshell, Kucinich believes Cheney should be impeached because he:

1. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction 2. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda 3. Openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the United States

Let’s show our support for Kucinich’s heroic efforts by asking the rest of Congress to co-sponsor these Articles , and by telling the media we demand impeachment now.

It’s Time to Poll on Impeachment
After the Downing Street Memos proved George Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs, Democrats.com began lobbying corporate media polling organizations to include impeachment questions in their polls. For two years, those pollsters have contemptuously dismissed our requests. But now that Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced Articles of Impeachment for Dick Cheney, it is time for pollsters to include impeachment questions in every poll they take .
