As Joshua noted last week, Democratic presidential candidate and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich has introduced articles of impeachment against VP Dick Cheney.

Specifically, there are three charges that the Vice President:

*Fabricated a threat of Iraqi WMD to justify a war of choice

*Fabricated the connection between al Qaeda and Saddam

*Is currently fabricating causes for war on Iran

You can download the complete text of the resolution offered to the House here, or a synopsis here.

Digg!

Dennis Kucinich THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

This is long overdue and I support you all the way. We should be rioting in the streets over the way we were taken to war and the lies that continue to be told!

THANK YOU!!!

Watch as the punk democratic reps turn their back on this one. American Politics is about middle-of-the-roading, not bravery. And this move by Kucinich, is not only well thought out but downright brave.

I support that man and HR 333.

How to support this...

Contact your Congressman or Congresswoman and ask them to co-sponsor H.333, articles of impeachment against Cheney.

Go to your local newspaper's website and post in the comment forum the contact info for your Congressman or Congresswoman, encouraging your neighbors to ask their reps to co-sponsor H.333.

Good work Dennis!

Should he prove unable to stand the heat and decide to leave the kitchen, Cheney might flee the country.

He could relocate to Niger. After all, he thought it was such a vacation hot spot that Valerie Plame scored a junket there for her husband.

Here is a brave, caring man who is standing up. Way to go Dennis. Come on Democrats, Republicans, citizens in general - here is a chance to stand together and make a statement, an attempt to change this evil assult on our nation before it gets a lot worse. The record of so many wrong doings within this administartion is so threatening to our way of life. This move isn't politics, it's about survival. It's a great start. Come on people, there is something to be gained here.

It could be time, after all... send those e-mails, snail mails, phone calls, and faxes to Congress, ESPECIALLY the Nazi GOP Congress as well, and maybe, just maybe, this insane suicidal nuking of Iran and BushCo's second 9-11 to kick it off might just be averted.

And PRAY.

I just wish that cheney would actually get impeached. This bill is totally going nowhere, which is unfortunate.

Watch the images of Cheney

Go back and rewatch the images they chose of the VP. Aside from the fact that his images are about 2/3 larger than DK's, the selection is out of control. There's even one near the end where Cheney has a halo. Is it just me or are these conspicuously loaded?
