Ladies and gentlemen, your tireless efforts for impeachment have finally borne fruit.
Your countless emails, calls, letters, town hall meetings, street protests, and huge marches have persuaded one courageous Member of Congress to start the impeachment process.
That Member is Dennis Kucinich, and here are his Articles of Impeachment, officially known as H.Res. 333. In a nutshell, Kucinich believes Cheney should be impeached because he:
1. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction
2. Manipulated intelligence to fabricate a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda
3. Openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the the United States
Let's show our support for Kucinich's heroic efforts by asking the rest of Congress to co-sponsor these Articles , and by telling the media we demand impeachment now.
Ask your Congress Member to support impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney:

It's Time to Poll on Impeachment
After the Downing Street Memos proved George Bush lied about Iraq's WMDs, Democrats.com began lobbying corporate media polling organizations to include impeachment questions in their polls. For two years, those pollsters have contemptuously dismissed our requests. But now that Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced Articles of Impeachment for Dick Cheney, it is time for pollsters to include impeachment questions in every poll they take . You can ask them to here:

Here Comes the Iraq Supplemental Veto
The Democrats in Congress have watered their war funding bill down, so that it merely "sets a goal" to end the war. But Bush may follow through on his promise to veto it, and he may do so this Friday. When he does, our response should be to demand of Congress:
No New Supplemental
Impeachment Instead
Let your Congress Member know that you don't want a weaker or stronger or fancier war funding bill. You want impeachment:
