TEN REASONS TO IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH NOW

by Allen L Roland

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the

first duty of intelligent men: George Orwell

Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the impeachment of President Bush

and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying their actions have raised "serious

questions of constitutionality."

Please join myself and millions of Americans in standing with Vermont, whose

state motto is FREEDOM AND UNITY, in calling for the impeachment, on April

28th, of George W Bush and Dick Cheney for the following reasons:

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of

Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to

Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without

Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to

unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of

thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners

hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal

residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and

without access to counsel.

4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists,

hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white

phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of

the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.

6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds

of laws passed by Congress.

7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000,

2002, 2004, and 2006.

8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation,

selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing

the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD

proliferation for political retribution.

9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a

"Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by

obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict

Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the

Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after

Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior

to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.
