Impeach Bush: www.VoteToImpeach.org



VOTE TO IMPEACH
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org

The anti-war movement has now inaugurated a campaign to 
impeach George W. Bush and other senior U.S. government 
officials for their criminal conduct. The planned war 
against Iraq and the destruction of constitutionally 
protected rights at home are the grounds for impeachment.

The articles of impeachment, drafted by former Attorney 
General Ramsey Clark, are the basis for a grassroots 
effort to remove Bush from office as we organize to stop 
the war. Please visit the site 
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org and cast your vote to Impeach 
Bush. Let your family members, friends and co-workers 
learn about the movement to impeach George Bush for high 
crimes and misdemeanors.

While we build mass street actions against the war it is 
important to utilize every avenue open to the people to 
hold the government accountable for its criminal conduct. 
The U.S. Constitution provides for a mechanism to hold 
administration officials culpable for criminal abuse of 
authority and usurpation of power.

The votes submitted in this campaign will be delivered to 
the House Judiciary Committee and the leadership from both 
parties on the committee. Representatives of 
VoteToImpeach.org will also carry out a campaign in the 
mass media publicizing the efforts of thousands of people 
in the United States to impeach George W. Bush and the 
architects of his unconstitutional policies.

See below for more information, or go directly to 
http://www.VoteToImpeach.org to see articles of 
impeachment setting forth high crimes and misdemeanors by 
President Bush and other civil officers of his 
administration, and to cast your vote!

George W. Bush Must Answer to the People

[adapted from Ramsey Clark's address to the half a million 
demonstrators at the January 18th National March on 
Washington to Stop the War on Iraq organized by 
International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End 
Racism)]

The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing 
George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression 
against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike 
potentially nuclear preemptive war. It's called 
impeachment.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Impeachment is the direct constitutional means for 
removing a President, Vice President or other civil 
officers of the United States who has acted or threatened 
acts that are serious offenses against the Constitution, 
its system of government, or the rule of law, or that are 
conventional crimes of such a serious nature that they 
would injure the Presidency if there was no removal.

A Constitutional Imperative

Impeachment appears six times in the U.S. Constitution. 
The Founders weren't concerned with anything more than 
with impeachment because they had lived under King George 
III and had in 1776 accused the king of all the things 
that George W. Bush wants to do: Usurpation of the power 
of the people; Being above the law; Criminal abuse of 
authority.

Power Remains in the Hands of the People

Impeachment is the means by which We The People of the 
United States and our elected representatives in Congress 
can prevent further crimes by the President and the human 
catastrophe they threaten and force accountability for 
crimes committed.

Save the Constitution, the U.N., and Countless Human Lives

Congressional proceedings for impeachment can bring about 
open, fearless consideration of the most dangerous acts 
and threats ever committed by an American President. If 
courageously pursued, they can save our Constitution, the 
United Nations, the rule of law, the lives of countless 
people and leave open the possibility of peace on earth.

The Time for Action is Now

Each of us must take a stand on impeachment now, or bear 
the burden of having failed to speak in this hour of 
maximum peril.
