Conservative Revolutionary American Party III: Bush to Congress: Drop Dead

Bush to Congress: Drop Dead

After weeks of administration lies about the "Pearl Harbor Day Massacre" of eight U.S. Attorneys, the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are preparing to subpoena Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, and Karl Rove.

But George Bush went on TV to declare he will "oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials." Why? Obviously because Bush, Gonzales, Miers, and Rove conspired to fire U.S. attorneys who were prosecuting Republican corruption. That's obstruction of justice - grounds not only for impeachment but also prosecution.

Bush promised to fight any subpoenas in the courts if he has to. Of course we know the Republican-controlled Supreme Court will take Bush's side, just as it did in 2000 when it threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes to steal the Presidency for him.

Ultimately Congress has just one tool to force Bush and Cheney to respect the Constitution: Impeachment and Removal.

Over 74,000 of our supporters have urged their Representatives to Impeach Bush and Cheney. Help us reach 100,000:

Tell Congress to Vote NO on Supplemental Spending Bill for War

The House is scheduled to vote to give Bush another $93 billion for his disastrous Iraq War on Thursday.

Speaker Pelosi is desperate to pass the bill and is threatening political revenge against progressive Democrats who oppose it, led by Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters.

Pelosi is also trying to prevent Barbara Lee from offering her crucial amendment to restrict any new funds to a "fully-funded withdrawal." Tragically, she even persuaded Moveon to conduct a dishonest poll of its members that deliberately excluded Lee's amendment:

This is our last chance to ask our Representatives to support Barbara Lee's Amendment:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/96

Here are some words of inspiration from Democrats who oppose the Supplemental:

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.): "As a nation, can we hear the words of Gandhi, so simple, so true--that it's either non-violence or non-existence? Can we hear the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. that we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish as fools? Tonight I must make it plain and clear, that as a human being, as a citizen of the world, as a citizen of America, as a member of Congress, and as an individual committed to a world at peace with itself, I will not and cannot vote for another dollar or another dime to support this war."

Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.): "The best way to keep [the troops] safe is to bring them home. It's difficult to oppose [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). She's a great leader and working wonders to get this passed, but some things I can't vote for. [If the resolution fails] It won't look good, like the Democrats can't get their act together, but that's OK. We can write a better bill."

If you have a few extra moments to end Bush's disastrous war, please call one or more undecided members of the Progressive Caucus and post the results in our comments:

Peace and Impeachment Photos Project

Some friends of ours took anti-war signs onto public trains last weekend and asked people if they would be photographed with them. On Sunday, March 18, four teams of photographers went through the New York City subway. On five subway lines, 333 people agreed to be photographed. Looking through the collection is an eye-opening experience.

Why not try this in your city or small town? And include Bush Is Over and Cheney Is Over signs!

On April 28, Spell Out IMPEACH
Since Congress doesn't seem to get it, on April 28th America will spell it out: IMPEACH! Spell it out in your own creative ways. You can use your bodies on the ground, or use chalk on the sidewalk, paint it on the side of a barn (provided it's your barn!), tattoo it on your arm, parade down the sidewalk carrying giant letters, hire a skywriter, plant flowerbeds in the shape of the letters, etc. A military mother in Brooklyn plans to spell it out with pizza pies on the Coney Island boardwalk. Let us hear your creative ideas!
