Impeach Cheney (And Bush Too)

oo

Impeach Cheney
Enough vacation. Now it is back to reality. And frankly, there is nothing more real than the continuing corruption in Washington. Truly, my jaw dropped when I heard that President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's prison sentence. But then it dawned on me that it probably was all pre-arranged by Cheney and his ilk.
Scooter takes the fall for Dickie in exchange for a full presidential pardon.
Without such a pardon, Scooter is a dangerous man for this administration. Without a commuted sentence, Scooter would have had plenty of time to think that his loyalty to Cheney may have been misplaced. Sitting in prison does that to people. Feeling betrayed by his former boss, Libby could have had a change of heart and could have spilled all in a book. Maybe he even blackmailed Bush and Cheney to get the commuted sentence...I am just saying...

Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

Dick Cheney has been a destructive force on the checks and balances of American government for more than six years. He has subverted long-standing processes, procedures, protocols and laws to lead us into the tragedy in Iraq, and is now seeking to do the same with Iran. (Both countries, mind you, that he did business with while CEO of Halliburton.)

As the Washington Post's recent four-part series on the most influential and powerful man ever to hold the office of vice president showed, Cheney also usurped his Cabinet colleagues to make himself the dominant voice on tax and spending policy; secretly steered the Bush administration's most important environmental decisions and purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive Congress by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq.

That's why there's a growing national movement to support H. Res 333, the articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney. The bill is already endorsed by 14 members of Congress.

Sign the petition calling for the bill's passage, watch a new video by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films for more evidence of why Cheney deserves immediate impeachment and check out impeachcheney.org for info on the impeachment campaign.
