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.
