Subject: Warrior King: The Case Aainst George Bush

Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

In February and March 2003, John Bonifaz served as lead counsel for a
coalition of US soldiers, their parents, and Members of Congress in a
federal lawsuit challenging the authority of President Bush to launch a
war against Iraq absent a congressional declaration of war. Needless to
say, the suit failed to prevent the invasion and occupation but Bonifaz's
arguments about the constitutional violations inherent in Bush foreign
policy are still politically potent.

Bonifaz lays out his case in a new release from Nation Books, Warrior
King: The Case for Impeaching George Bush. "President Bill Clinton was
ultimately censured over alleged charges of perjury and obstruction of
justice," says Bonifaz. "But no one died as a result of the Monica
Lewinsky affair. President George W. Bush's offenses to the Constitution
are far more serious and have resulted in the deaths of thousands. It is
time for Congress to investigate whether the president's offenses
constitute high crimes worthy of impeachment. To protect and uphold the
Constitution, that process should begin."
