President Bush Must Resign or Be Impeached.
There is a growing movement in the United States to Impeach both President Bush and Dick Cheney simultaneously, and have House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R) to serve out the remaining term.
Unfortunately it is near impossible to remove a President from office in the United States. For this to occur Democrats must retake Congress and then bring forth substantiated charges of "High Crimes & Misdemeanors"
I do believe many such charges can be found in:
*Matters of the War on Terror & Iraq: the usage of funds, humanitarian violations, misinformation to the public, disregard for international standards like the Geneva Convention, revelations found in the Downing Street Memo.
*The CIA LEAK with Karl Rove: which shows the White House authorizes and has a pattern of using government resources for unethical, and as it seems Republican Party activities.
*Misinformation to the American People: citizens have the right to oversight therefore we must be given correct information. Government officials do not have the option to lie, disinform, nor misinform. Just One Example: the White House brought a fake news reporter onto the White Press Core; he used a fake name and asked questions directly to the President. His name is James Dale Guckert.
* Provisions of the Patriot Act: provisions of the patriot act impede on matters of Due Process like protections against unlawful search and seizures.
All of you Republicans that call yourselves “Conservative” whom support these polices have misplaced your vote and your money (taxes) and I’d urge you to get on your knees and pray for some guidance.
There will be an Impeachment Rally in Washington D.C. on Sept. 24, 2005 http://votetoimpeach.org/

My Letter to the President:
President Bush,
This “situation” with the CIA leak allegedly made by Karl Rove has been going on for 2 years.
Karl Rove remaining in service to you and the American people within the White House is not acceptable. Mr. Rove remaining as a member of your staff would make you, the President of the United States of America, just as guilty in this criminal act.
In addition Mr. President, if you do not agree this leak is a criminal act then what do you believe? You say you are a Christian, as I am. And there is only ONE issue that I have heard you speak of with comfort and sincerity and that is of your Faith. I hope it is this Faith that truly continues to guide you in your last term occupying the Office of President of the United States.

TERRORIST ATTACK in LONDON
TERRORIST ATTACK in LONDON
The closet ally of the United States, the United Kingdom has been attacked in their capital of London.
The UK is respected international as the second most world super power to the U.S. Just yesterday it was announced that London would host the 2012 Olympics. They won this honor over cities like Paris and New York.
The attack consisted of a series of explosions in the London transit system. There have been varied reports of fatalities and injuries. Al-Qaeda, the same terrorist group that toppled the World Trade Towers in NY have said they were responsible for this attack.
This marks 4 great world cities that have been attacked beginning on 9/11: New York, Washington D.C./ USA, Madrid/Spain, and London/England.
Opinion: America must support the British as they deal with this Terrorist Attack just as British Prime Minister Tony Blair put his career on the line to support President Bush’s War on Terror. Not to politicize this situation I pose the question of is the United States and World actually safer because of the way we approached the War on Terror and also how the U.S. and Great Britain have diverted resources away from the security of our countries towards the War in Iraq?
More to come as this story unfolds.

WHITEHOUSE COVERUP!!!
THE SMOKING GUN OF BUSH’S ADMINISTRATION!!!
Senior Bush Advisor Carl Rove allegedly leaked the name of an undercover CIA agent.
If these allegations are proven true Carl Rove may have to resign or worse this scandal that has been festering within the White House since 2003 may trigger the impeachment of President George W. Bush.
Other related information to this scandal:
Federal prosecutors demand that Time Magazine reporter Matthew Cooper and New York Times Reporter Judith Miller reveal their sources. Questions however are being raised about Reporter Bob Novack who is not facing equal jail time for his naming of this CIA agent. Prosecutors are investigating who in the Bush Administration leaked this classified information. Allegations say that Carl Rove was the source of this leak or was it President Bush himself?

Discussion of Impeachment
Complaints or Crimes?
Many have called my calling for the Resignation or Impeachment of President Bush & Dick Cheney as a list of complaints where only a couple charges could be tantamount to “High Crimes or Misdemeanors” as required by Law to remove the President from Office.
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. - - ARTICLE II, SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I will accept this criticism and continue to refine my message to fit within the parameters of our current Laws. However I’ll ask you to entertain the following:
1) The premise that WE the People through Congress possess the power to change this law dictating the terms required to Impeach a President. I would like to broaden these requirements to include such terms as incompetents, perjury, and misinformation. I would like to add a provision for direct participation from citizens through a referendum or recall process. You might ask why? In my opinion the problem with America today is its political parties. The founders of our country would have no respect for the Republican & Democratic Parties neither does our Constitution recognize them. Despite this currently WE, the People have no power in Congress and the White House except through one of these political parties.
2) What specifically defines high crime and misdemeanors? Stealing a candy bar is a misdemeanor. You tell me that Lying to the American people does not fit into these current terms of impeachment, especially for this specific situation of “War”, which has lead to the death of American soldiers and innocent civilians throughout the world. Am I wrong to believe that if the reasons for beginning this war as presented to the American people by the Bush Administration were distortions and fabrications that these lives are being lost in vain, and our troops are being used for the financial gain of a wealthy segment of our citizenry led by our elected President George W. Bush? Is this not a crime?
3) The President cannot simply declare War without Congress’s approval, so therefore there must be requirements for a country declaring War; I however do not know the legalities of this. If the President withheld, changed, “fitted”, or fabricated information wouldn’t this be breaking the law, equating to at least a misdemeanor? Where does the Downing Street Memo fit in? In addition to blatant manipulation of how the public exercises its right to oversight of the government through receiving information via Media: the fake reporter Jeff Gannon placed in the White House press core, paying government agencies to promote partisan agenda items, PBS? Perjury is a crime, wouldn’t these actions by Bush at least equate to perjury? President Bush did take an oath of Office, is this Oath simply ceremonial? Do the WE the People have no recourse in these matters? Recourse greater than simply waiting for the next election?
I make these comments to seek clarification on the Law on Impeachment of a President for in my eyes President Bush is no longer fit to serve the people of the United States of America.

It’s Time to Impeach
It’s Time to Impeach President Bush and Dick Cheney.
Hood winkled, Again!
On June 29, 2005 President Bush gave a TV address to the nation in regards to the War in Iraq. This address received the lowest viewer ship of his term. My analysis of this address is this: In my opinion this low viewer ship shows that the general population of the United States is far more united than some Republican strategist & leaders would have us to believe. This indicates a loss in trust and faith in President Bush and shows that citizens of the United States are no longer entertaining misinformation from this Administration. And when I speak of U.S. citizens I mean Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike. Thus Bush is more than a lame duck; he has lost the very credibility that comes with the presidency. The will of the American People is to End the War in Iraq, but President George W. Bush said (and read his lips) says “We Will Stay the Course”. A failed course is what we’ll stay on if we continue to follow Bush. Those that hold the Offices of President and Vice President are elected as servants of the people, not Kings, therefore they do not possess the luxury of the prerogative too abuse the powers of these Offices.
Could it be possible that the majority of Americans actually not DO NOT subscribe to this Neo-Con ideology?
This is the definition of neo-conservative (abbreviated as neo-con or neocon) is part of a U.S. based political movement rooted in liberal Cold War anticommunism and a backlash to the social liberation movements of the 1960s and 1970s. These liberals drifted toward conservatism: thus they are new (neo) conservatives. They favor an aggressive unilateral U.S. foreign policy. They generally believe that elites protect democracy from mob rule.
I wouldn’t be fair without giving the definition of liberal: a political movement associated with ideals of individual freedom, greater intellectual liberty, greater individual participation in government, that favors a political philosophy of progress, reforms and the protection of civil liberties. Liberals seek to change or eliminate what they consider flaws in society. Liberalism embraces the defense of individual liberty as the purpose of government and favors the right to dissent.
In light of the state of our economy, the continued misinformation provided by the White House, voting discrepancies in the elections of 2000 & 2004, the President and Vice President’s financial interest in the War on Terror, disregard for procedures of Justice in the detaining of foreigners, changes in monetary policy favoring corporations and the wealthy, a disregard to matters concerning the Will of the People, and the Downing Street Memo; I know without a doubt that WE, the American People have been HOOD WINKLED.
The Time is right, and ripe. Lets remove this unworthy duo from the People’s House, our White House. You may ask, who will take their place? There is a leader who will not sell out the people, who will not take advantage of their position to deceive and court generous groups like Churches, who will give to the people their right of oversight even if it does not favor them, and whom will truly represent the interest of All Americans and not a chosen few, special interest or corporate & financial institutions. I assure you this; this leader is neither George W. Bush nor Dick Cheney.
What the nation does next will be a Test of our Democracy. Will we simply settle for Bush & Cheney. America is worthy of better leadership. I pray those that support President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will not continue to do so simply because they bare these titles of distinction. Nor because they call themselves Republicans. Nor because they call themselves Christians. Do not support President Bush & Dick Cheney because you are in the military or come from a military family. The President in only an Office, it is the People and the Constitution you protect. You are American before anything else and these men have desecrated the very beliefs in Freedom, Justice, Oversight by the People as stated in our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence and they have darkened the honored we All once could claim in calling ourselves citizens of the United States of America.
Support these men only if you truly believe in their Neo Con ideology that has changed the character of America to a degree more extreme than 9/11. For your support of these men is causing a deep ideological but artificial schism within the population of the United States. I say artificial because the games that divide our nation were cleverly devised by politicians, strategist and special interest for their personal gain. But we as Americans do all believe in the same principles. This schism is moving back the clock of progress that has been made. This is not a matter of National Security but of American Democracy, Justice and Freedom. The United States is a fighting country, we were already poised and ready to react to an event such as 9/11 but even now we are perplexed & divided on how to react to a terrible President. However our system of Democracy gives us a clear solution in calling for the resignation of President George W. Bush & Dick Cheney and if they refuse let us unite and exercise our right to remove them from office.
How Can You Play Your Part?
1) Write and/or Call both Your Senators and your Representative and tell them how you feel about the State of our great nation, and tell them you would like to see Bush & Cheney step down.
2) Vote for All Democratic Candidates running for Congress in the 2006 Election. Why, Democrats controlling Congress will restore a balance of power.
3) Donate to organizations, Political Parties, candidates that have your best interest in mind. They do greatly need your support. Rather $1 to $1Million it would be appreciated and used in the fight to restore sound Checks & Balances within our government. Especially these groups: Afterdowningstreet.Org, Amnesty International, Checks & Balances Blog, the International Red Cross Moveon.Org, the NAACP, VotetoImpeach.Org, and the Democratic Party.

State of Our Nation
The State of Our Nation can be summed up in this Russian saying:
“The Fish Rots from the Head”.
Have We come to a point in time in the existence of the United States of America where integrity does not matter in politics, in business, everyday interaction, and especially with the affairs of the President of the United States? I speak specifically of clear bias of the leaders of our current government here in 2005 towards the interest of the rich and corporations at the neglect of the working class and the poor, and of lies from the lips of politicians from the President G.W. Bush, to Former Halliburton Executive/V.P. Dick Cheney, to the White Collar Criminal Tom Delay. Just in the past few weeks Vice President Dick Cheney said the insurgency in Iraq was ending; and several Generals in Command of our Military said the exact opposite. This is a shame. Domestic Programs are being shipped away. Veterans Affairs has a shortfall, the Federal Government will no longer pay for Psychiatric Medications for persons on assistance programs and now these Neo Cons want to tamper with the Social Security Program. These are simply examples of many of how our nation is being mislead and sold out. In my humble opinion the Neo Cons that have taken over our country are seeking to create a nation of the Rich and of Peasants. Do you want to be a Peasant, indebted too, and therefore own by your government or a corporation? This is the true face of the Ownership Society that President Bush gives speeches on. Open you’re your eyes and don’t take my word for it.
Have We come to a point in time in the existence of the United States of America where the values of Justice & Freedom do not matter in politics, in business, everyday interaction, and especially with the affairs of the President of the United States? I speak of the people we have incarcerated and occupied their Country in the Wars on Terror, Iraq and Afghanistan and we assert that these people have no rights, no right to Due Process, and these procedures are being done in ways that circumvent oversight by the American by being held on foreign lands and in the jurisdiction of the military. America has always held a higher standard, even in War, and the very documents our nation was founded on declare that All men possess the same Rights no matter American citizen or low life dirty terrorist. And honestly I have to say; African Americans & Jews you must see something wrong in what our government is doing in these wars. I know this issue is very sensitive for me. We must do what is simply right when it comes a persons freedom, when it comes to Justice, when it comes to lives.
Have We come to a point in time in the existence of the United States of America where accountability does not matter in politics, in business, everyday interaction, and especially with the affairs of the President of the United States? I speak specifically for President Bush not admitting mistakes and taking the blame, and frankly apologizing for nationally mistakes made during his presidency. President Harry Truman realized this and he had a saying “ The Buck Stops Here”.
“The Fish Rots from the Head”.

In my humble opinion the Neo Cons that have taken over our country are seeking to create a nation of the Rich and of Peasants. Do you want to be a Peasant, indebted too, and therefore own by your government or a corporation? This is the true face of the Ownership Society that President Bush gives speeches on. Open you’re your eyes and don’t take my word for it.
Have We come to a point in time in the existence of the United States of America where the values of Justice & Freedom do not matter in politics, in business, everyday interaction, and especially with the affairs of the President of the United States? I speak of the people we have incarcerated and occupied their Country in the Wars on Terror, Iraq and Afghanistan and we assert that these people have no rights, no right to Due Process, and these procedures are being done in ways that circumvent oversight by the American by being held on foreign lands and in the jurisdiction of the military. America has always held a higher standard, even in War, and the very documents our nation was founded on declare that All men possess the same Rights no matter American citizen or low life dirty terrorist. And honestly I have to say; African Americans & Jews you must see something wrong in what our government is doing in these wars. I know this issue is very sensitive for me. We must do what is simply right when it comes a persons freedom, when it comes to Justice, when it comes to lives.
Have We come to a point in time in the existence of the United States of America where accountability does not matter in politics, in business, everyday interaction, and especially with the affairs of the President of the United States? I speak specifically for President Bush not admitting mistakes and taking the blame, and frankly apologizing for nationally mistakes made during his presidency. President Harry Truman realized this and he had a saying “ The Buck Stops Here”.

CHECKS & BALANCES
A Matter of Freedom
Demanding the Resignation or Impeachment of President G. W. Bush and V.P. Cheney is a stance on principle required in order to respect the mandates of our Constitution and the ideas of American Democracy. Our nation was founded on the notion that “All men were created equal, endowed with unalienable rights” which implies that American values of Justice are universal and applies to all; citizen, alien, or enemy. Justice is blind and is constant in all situations, in all times; War or Peace. There is no other public office than the President that is charged with maintaining these American standards, a duty that G.W. Bush has been derelict in. And there is no better system in the world than the U.S. system of Checks and Balances investing Justice, Executive Duties, and Legislation in three separate and equally powerful institutions. But when these balances are off set, tainted, & corrupted this once Just America could become the very embodiment of the oppressive ideas that spurred the creation of our ideas of freedom.
What American values do I speak of? The value of Democracy, which takes precedence over capitalism. It is Democracy we should strive to preserve. This is a principle that is synonymous with Freedom. Capitalism is an economic construct subject to change. Our nation was founded on the principle of Democracy and our economic system of capitalism would not exist without first a sound democracy and all the rights it give to its citizens. Even the right to choose a different economic system. And there is another necessity for this sound democracy to maintain; for the Election process to remain void of partisan influences, special interest, and corruption. With partisan Supervisor of Election offices and State Secretaries, new inauditble voting systems, the election of 2000 when the Supreme Court decided the president of the United States, and in 2004 with voter suppression and discrepancies in the states of Florida, Ohio, and Washington this is not the case.
The value of Justice and the Law of Due Process. Our Constitution recognizes there are procedures for administrating Justice even to though someone may be classified as an enemy combatants. I speak specifically of the War on Terror, Iraq, & Afghanistan. There is no exception; there is no gray area. Justice is Justice. President Bush has gravely disregarded this principle in his War on Terror. The President is not above the Law, nor is the military. Nor do they possess the Constitutional right to restrict oversight of all matters of our nation from the people. They are vested with doing nothing ore, than serving the American people and abiding by our Constitution, Laws & Treaties.
The American Precedent of War. Yes, America has a tradition of War but in carrying this big stick we have a responsibility to ourselves and the World. We must not abuse this power and gift, which we are presently doing. And at the very least the President must be truthful with the American people on the matters of War. For there is No more serious decision that a nation can make.
This is not a matter of Democrat or Republican. Conservative or Liberal. Christian or Muslim. But of Democracy & Justice. And there is only one way, the American way. President George W. Bush and V.P. Dick Cheney must step down or we, the American people, must remove them from office.
