Let's Talk Seriously About Impeachment

Ralph Nader has joined those who are calling for a serious national discussion on impeaching Bush and Cheney.

"President Clinton was impeached for perjury about his sexual relationships. Comparing Clinton's misbehavior to a destructive and costly war occupation launched in March 2003 under false pretenses in violation of domestic and international law certainly merits introduction of an impeachment resolution."

The recent Downing Street Memo has been called the smoking gun by many -- it is a reliable, respected source of what most of us have known for a long time from so many other sources: that Bush/Cheney had planned to invade Iraq long before they admitted this to the public and that they manufactured evidence and intelligence to justify their actions. If you haven't read the memo or you don't know much about it, a group pressuring the President on this has posted a website where you can get more information: www.downingstreetmemo.com. You can also simply Google the term to look for a variety of commentaries on it.

We need to seriously consider the benefit to our nation of removing these dishonest, power-hungry demogogues from office. U.S. Rep. John Conyers is leading a petition effort to demand the truth from Bush on these issues. Check it out!
