38 US Reps for Bush Impeachment Review
38 US Reps for Bush Impeachment Review

By Matthew Cardinale, News Editor and National Correspondent, Atlanta Progressive News (September 12, 2006)

(APN) ATLANTA – US Rep. Steve Rothman (D-NJ) became the 38th Member of the US Congress officially listed as a supporter of H. Res. 635, a bill which could lead to recommendations to impeach President Bush.

The bill, sponsored by US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), would create a Select Committee to look into the grounds for impeaching President Bush over misleading the public on the need to go to war; retaliating against public officials who disagree with him; and encouraging torture.

US Rep. Rothman actually had indicated his support since March of 2006, but a clerical error led to his name not being listed until late last week, the Congressman’s Communications Director, Kimberly Allen, told Atlanta Progressive News. This would be a second time a clerical error has occurred related to this bill.

2. The charges are precise, but too simplistic...

"misleading the public on the need to go to war; retaliating against public officials who disagree with him; and encouraging torture"

How about creating a perpetual war, and using 9/11 solely for self-serving political gain, and on top of that the morally repugnant gesture of taking over our government while accusing all those who disagree with him un-American. The list goes on and on...

BTW, if more Dems don't support impeachment they will just seem weak to everyone else. Look Repugs went after Clinton just for a BJ.

5. Under the rubric of chicken shit congress critters--
Isn't it interesting that the percentage of CCs whose skins are not white are far more highly represented than those who are pale faces?

Hmmm...does this mean that guts, clarity of judgment and intellectual honesty show up more often when one has the additional burden of living in a world that favors those of lighter colors than oneself?

Not to sound like a racist, but it sure looks that way to me.
I am of the opinion that impeachment of the crooks responsible for such horrid injustice and the death of multiple tens of thousands, along with the attempted destruction of the US and our way of life, is a very high calling and deserves the attention and support of all the members of congress. Besides, it's the law...
