H.R. 333 Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. HR 333

IMPEACHMENT: The word is back!
Impeachment as an essential tool of America's democratic system.

Bill Moyers Journal : Read the transcript

There are six separate references to IMPEACHMENT in our Constitution. The founding fathers wanted us to know this word and use the process. According to the Constitution, the first obligation of the state is to make people free, not to build empires. Because the Founding Fathers expected an executive would try to overreach his powers, they wrote IMPEACHMENT into the Constitution so he (or she) would be hampered and curtailed by the legislative branch. The last Republican dominated Congress put party ahead of country and allowed Bush and Cheney to abuse the powers of their offices. This Democratic Congress has walked away from their responsibility to oversee the presidency.

THIS IS NOT PARTY POLITICS. According to Bruce Fein, Conservative Think Tank expert, "If George Bush and Dick Cheney are not appropriately held to account, this Administration will hand off a toolbox with more powers than any President has ever had— more powers than the founders could have imagined. And that box may be handed to Hillary Clinton or it may be handed to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or someone else. But whoever gets it, one of the things we know about power is that people don't give away the tools."

A public opinion poll from the American Research Group recently reported that more than four in ten Americans — 45% — favor impeachment hearings for President Bush and more than half — 54% — favored impeachment for Vice President Cheney.

This is one of the most informative public discussions of IMPEACHMENT to date and concerns every single citizen. A staunch Conservative Consititutional lawyer and a knowledgeable Liberal journalist are in agreement about usurption of executive power and speak out responsibly about the dangers that Bush and Cheney have placed on our Constitution and the future of our country.

BILL MOYERS on Karl Rove Resignation:
He Sold Greed and God to AmericansBill Moyers
   Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious draft-averse naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas, was to sell him as God's anointed in a state where preachers and televangelists outnumber even oil derricks and jack rabbits. Using church pews as precincts Rove turned religion into a weapon of political combat - a battering ram, aimed at the devil's minions, especially at gay people.
  It's so easy, as Karl knew, to scapegoat people you outnumber, and if God is love, as rumor has it, Rove knew that, in politics, you better bet on fear and loathing. Never mind that in stroking the basest bigotry of true believers you coarsen both politics and religion.
At the same time he was recruiting an army of the lord for the born-again Bush, Rove was also shaking down corporations for campaign cash. Crony capitalism became a biblical injunction. Greed and God won four elections in a row - twice in the lone star state and twice again in the nation at large. But the result has been to leave Texas under the thumb of big money with huge holes ripped in its social contract, and the U.S. government in shambles - paralyzed, polarized, and mired in war, debt and corruption.
   Rove himself is deeply enmeshed in some of the scandals being investigated as we speak, including those missing emails that could tell us who turned the attorney general of the United States into a partisan sock puppet. Rove is riding out of Dodge city as the posse rides in. At his press conference this week he asked God to bless the president and the country, even as reports were circulating that he himself had confessed to friends his own agnosticism; he wished he could believe, but he cannot. That kind of intellectual honesty is to be admired, but you have to wonder how all those folks on the Christian right must feel discovering they were used for partisan reasons by a skeptic, a secular manipulator. On his last play of the game all Karl Rove had to offer them was a hail mary pass, while telling himself there's no one there to catch.

Impeachment is much more than a legal and congressional process—it is an essential instrument of America's democratic system. Articles of impeachment have been brought sixty-two times in American history. Thomas Jefferson himself forwarded the evidence for impeachment of the first federal official to be removed under the process—John Pickering in 1803. Impeachment is as American as apple pie.
