Conyers needs 100,000 sigs for IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheUnspeakable]

I caught John Bonifaz (constitutional lawyer) on Randi Rhodes
he was talking about IMPEACHMENT in relation to the Downing Street memo-they need public support to take the first steps. I know there's a lot of threads about Conyers and the 100,000 sigs, but
I wanted to make sure everyone knew it's not JUST an investigation of the memo, but the beginning of OUR DREAM!!!!! check out bonifaz's site <http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/>

MEMORANDUM
To: Rep. John Conyers, Jr.
From: John C. Bonifaz
Date: May 23, 2005
RE: The President’s Impeachable Offenses

The recent release of the Downing Street Memo provides new and compelling evidence that the President of the United States has been actively engaged in a conspiracy to deceive and mislead the United States Congress and the American people about the basis for going to war against Iraq. If true, such conduct constitutes a High Crime under Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution: “The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

2. Okay - Kick. Here's a Link to Conyer's Petition. I signed it.

From http://www.johnconyers.com/
May 27, 2005

Dear Friend:

As many of you are aware, a classified memo was recently disclosed in Great Britain that I believe has serious ramifications for the integrity of the United States Government.

Dubbed the “Downing Street Memo,” but actually comprising the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British government officials, the memo casts serious doubt on many of the contentions of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq war. With over 1,600 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and over $200 billion in taxpayer funds going to this war effort, we cannot afford to stand by any longer.

Along with 88 of my colleagues, I wrote to the President requesting answers about this grave matter. Thus far, our search for the truth has been stonewalled and I need your help. I believe the American people deserve answers about this matter and should demand directly that the President tell the truth about the memo. To that end, I am asking you to sign on to a letter to the President requesting he answer the questions posed to him by 89 Members of Congress.

I will personally insure that this letter is delivered to the White House.

You can read the letter here and sign on to it below. You and I know the White House is just hoping that this matter will fade away, but in a few short weeks, with our steadfastness, the memo has found its way into leading newspapers and White House press briefings. With your help, we can hold this Administration accountable.

Please pass on this important letter to your friends and colleagues, and ask them to sign as well.

Thank you for your help and support.

John Conyers, Jr.

8. we all know it's a long process...

but it was really exciting to hear a constitutional lawyer talk very seriously about impeachment. Every time someone has brought it up here, they get shot down "no way" "not with a republican congress'
but I've been thinking about it a lot lately, because the crimes are SO big (especially lying to Congress) and there has to be some decent Republicans-some that care about their kids and their future.
we'll see!

10. fucking great idea! Thanks sooooooo much for posting!!!!!

I already sent conyer's letter to 100 people that I know personally.

[PartyPooper]

9. Not to be a party pooper,

but, we'll never get impeachment with the republicans controlling both houses of congress. It simply will never happen.

just my 2¢

[BigBearJohn]

11. Whether you think you can or you think you can't -- YOU'RE RIGHT

[confuddled]

14. May be a pipe dream

but the thought,evidence and energy is gathering. I would settle for forcing the matter to be dealt with even on the committee level and getting it into the Congressional Record just so history will show that there was an effort to rid ourselves of this pestilence. I've been so thoroughly disabused of the idea that impeachment is possible (even by my good-guy representative) that I dare not hope for more - but will never stop trying.

[alfredo]

16. Bush is becoming poison for the Republican

let's see as 2006 approaches and beyone.

[Don1]

37. Doesn't Matter

The question of impeachment and the unanswered questions and the stonewalling once it gets into Congress will have to get media attention. Furthermore, Conyers is smart. He is not talking impeachment yet. He is wisely taking it step-by-step.

Worst-case scenario for us:
The effect will be to make the Republican party at least a little less popular in 2006 elections and 2008 Pres election.

Best-case scenario for us:
The issue will get slow movement and impeachment will become a major question prior to 2006 elections. Dems will be voted in and then subsequently impeach the Pres in 2006. Additionally, more progressive and more anti-war Dems will be voted in due to the radicalization of the public by all of the fascist and imperialist moves of the neo-cons.

26. If Blair gets charged with war crimes

people will ask, why just Blair when it was bush's idea in the first place.

If that happens, the nuclear option fight will seem like much to do about nothing.

33. Now this is what I was talking about...

When the Filibuster thing went down I wasn't on the "this is a big victory" side of the issue. Impeach and Imprison is what I would consider victory. This is a start. Make them defend themselves. They are sitting on top of a house of cards, held together with lies and spin. Pull on the right card and down she goes. Conyers has huge brass balls, we need to get behind him on this. Signed, kicked, nominated, e-mailed, put on a pedistal...

[SolarAxi]

34. Question - wouldn't that make Cheney the president?

It may be a dumb question, but there's probably a lot of neocons that would love to see George gone if Cheney could step in as acting President. Hope I'm wrong...

[TheUnspeakable]

38. We have to bring them all down

Here's a quote from the memorandum John Bonifaz sent to John Conyers



"If true, such conduct constitutes a High Crime under Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution: “The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” "

[NYCGirl]

42. Yes, he's the next in succession. After him is Speaker of the House

Dennis Hastert, then President Pro Tempore of the Senate Ted Stevens, then Condoleeza Rice (!).

[Mnemosyne]

35. kick

[Zodiak]

36. Done

Done. Let's hope that this list on the petition will be remembered as a list of patriot rather than a list of the first people chosen for exercising the new provisions of the Patriot Act.

Conyers should get a lot more than 100,000 signatures for this. Heck, MoveOn.org has more than a million members.

49. If you need ANOTHER reason to sign with Conyers..this should do it..

This should scare the shit out of anyone who hasn't taken the Bush World Order seriously.

Cross link to another thread and PLEASE READ..Does Bush have plans already in the making for a turning America into a toxic nuke waste receptacle?

How much would countries pay in secret dirty deals with the likes of the Bush family, for a place to dump the tosic stuff?

Is Neil Bush counting his $$$ already? I can just see it ..this is how they do business isn't it??
Nasty shady deals made without thought nor care as to the victims of Bush family greed.

Please join Conyers and inform the public.

........................A $15.5m funding plan allows for reprocessing
By Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | May 28, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Closed military bases could become repositories for nuclear waste under a little-noticed section of a spending bill that was passed by the House this week, exacerbating the fears of local lawmakers who are fighting the scheduled closure of four of New England's biggest bases...........
---------------------------------------------

Use your imagination..Conyers is giving all he can to make a case against Bush..We need to join him now.
The fine print is telling as to how far ahead Bush is on making all his dreams come true.
