Dear
CODEPINKer,
Dick
Cheney has always given us the creeps. Now, as more information
comes out about his devious actions to undermine the Constitution,
our goosebumps have morphed into sheer outrage. As Maureen
Dowd writes, "It's hard
to imagine how Dick Cheney could get more dastardly, unless
J. K. Rowling has him knock off Harry Potter next month."
If
you haven't read this week's Washington Post series--
Angler: The
Cheney Vice Presidency, you must immediately. It
is the strongest indictment against Cheney that we've seen--the
series looks deeply into the machinations behind his sanction
of torture, his belief that he's above the law. When asked
about Cheney's claim of unique status and powers, Richard
Wolfe of NEWSWEEK said, "This is
a very rocky path, and if it's Constitutional, then I'm a
banana."
Cheney
sees himself as top banana, and we need to tell him it's time
to split.
Just
this week, we
marched in DC to urge Congress to restore law and
justice by restoring the writ of habeas corpus and bringing
an immediate halt to indefinite detention. We need to continue
to protest against these criminals and their destruction of
our Constitution.
Here are some ways you can take action
today:
- Call
(202 456 1111) and say "SHAME
ON YOU" or
- FAX
our Pink
Slip to Cheney's office (202 456 2461).
Tell Cheney he's brought shame to the office and shame to
our nation.
- Sign
our Pink Slip, calling for Cheney's impeachment
- Call
your Rep today
(202 224 3121), and urge them to co-sponsor Rep. Dennis
Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment, H.Res. 333. (see below)
Together,
we can rout this dastardly criminal banana creep out of office!
With
peace and determination,
Dana, Desiree, Ena, Farida, Gael, Gayle,
Jodie, Karin, Leslie, Medea, Nancy, Patricia, Rae, Rocio,
Samantha, and Vanessa
Articles
of Impeachment
"In
his conduct while Vice President of the United States, Richard
B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully
execute the office of Vice President of the United States
and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of
his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully
executed, has
1. purposely manipulated
the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress
of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons
of mass destruction to justify the use of the United States
Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging
to our national security interests
2. purposely manipulated
the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress
of the United States about an alleged relationship between
Iraq and al Qaeda in order to justify the use of the United
States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner
damaging to our national security interests
3. openly threatened aggression
against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the
United States, and done so with the United States proven capability
to carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security
of the United States
Wherefore Richard B. Cheney, by such conduct, warrants impeachment
and trial, and removal from office."
Current

Rep
Clarke, Yvette D. [NY-11] - 6/6/2007
