[ewj at pigs.ag]

Representative Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, just finished reading on the House floor a 35-count impeachment resolution against President George W. Bush. Kucinich's lengthy and detailed indictment of this wayward president is the most thorough and powerful case made to date. He outlined a litany of high crimes and misdemeanors and showed without a shadow of a doubt that George W. Bush deserves to be impeached and removed from office. Kucinich made clear that Bush has violated his oath of office and his Constitutional duty that the laws be "faithfully executed."  read more at Huffington Post...

There should be no doubt that Bush and Cheney violated the Constitution and the public trust, but yet to be seen is whether or not the Congress will dare to take any action at all, since the Congressional leadership "on both sides of the aisle" are most certainly accomplices in the Foul Deeds...

Its high time Congress stepped up to do the job it was elected to do and that does not mean catering to the whims of the corporate elite!   If nothing else, the public deserves honest answers to the questions and issues at hand.

> Dear Paula,
> 
> Our campaign for accountability for the Bush administration is making legitimate progress.
> 
> I am pleased to announce to you that the House Judiciary Committee has met my public call for Scott McClellan's immediate testimony with action:
> 
> Today, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers officially invited Mr. McClellan to testify under oath on Friday, June 20th at 10AM.  
> 
> After all of our hard work pushing for impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney – the McClellan hearing provides our cause with a legitimate opportunity to showcase the crimes and violations of this Administration for the American people, the mainstream media, reluctant members of the Democratic party, and sensible Republicans. This hearing provides us our first genuine opportunity to enter the public consciousness and change the dynamics that have prevented true accountability for Bush and Cheney.
> 
> Mr. McClellan was a major figure in the Valerie Plame/CIA scandal, as well as a leading propagandist for the Bush White House's deliberate attempts to hide the true costs of this war from the American public.   As such, Mr. McClellan will testify under oath (and be subject to perjury charges should he lie) and be asked about the following matters:
> 
> 
>   1.. What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney , and key administration officials take in the effort to reveal the identity of covert CIA agent Valeria Plame Wilson – thus destroying her network and putting lives in jeopardy?
> 
>   2.. What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and key administration officials take regarding the firing of U.S. Attorneys or political reasons?
> 
>   3.. What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, key administration officials take in conspiring to blatantly break U.S. and International laws prohibiting the use of torture?
> I call on Mr. McClellen to immediately accept this invitation and testify under oath as he previously agreed to while being interviewed on national television. 
> 
> During the hearing I will have roughly five short minutes to question Mr. McClellan and undercover the illegalities committed by this Administration – which is why it is critically important that every representative on the Judiciary Committee hears your voice.  Please let them know that you demand answers to these questions.
> 
> Nor should it stop there:  Karl Rove has thumbed his nose to the Judiciary Committee's subpoena – joining Harriet Miers, Joshua Bolten and Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff David Addington as the only Administration officials in history to claim Congress has no power to even bring them before a committee to be questioned.
> 
> I have called for Karl Rove to be held in inherent contempt and for the other renegade officials to appear as required by their subpoenas, or be forced to do so by the House Sergeant of Arms.
> 
> What the Judiciary's request of McClellan proves is that if we stay vigilant – if we call loudly and repeatedly for accountability - that we become very difficult to ignore.
> 
> Please stay tuned.   I hope for more developments soon.
