From Atlanta Progressive News:
US Rep. Albert Russell Wynn (D-MD) has become the fourth total co-sponsor of US Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s (D-OH) bill to impeach Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney, Atlanta Progressive News has learned. In addition to Kucinich, the other two Members of Congress who have signed on to H. Res 333 are US Rep. Janice Schakowsky (D-IL) and William Lacy Clay (D-MO)
Four is not a lot. But:
Congresswoman and House Judiciary Committee Member Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) has spoken up in support of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Waters said she advocates impeaching Cheney first, which is the same approach taken by Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio) in his bill, H. Res. 333. Waters has not yet cosponsored that bill.
She made a statement.
And it’s not just urban Democrats.
On Thursday, May 10, 2007, Lawrence Wilkerson [Colin Powell’s former chief of staff], speaking on National Public Radio, proposed impeaching President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
He, too, made a statement.
Forty percent of Americans agree. The Dissident Voice discusses the Ecology of Impeachment.
The American electorate is looking more and more like the polar bear stranded on a shrinking ice floe — still powerful but with democracy melting out from under our feet. Unlike the polar bear, however, we should be able to analyze our situation and take action. The first thing we have to do is accept that certain familiar features of our habitat, which we have depended on in the past, are just gone.
If I’m a polar bear I should be able to get whatever I want, right? Like, how about I get some of the 5 to 15 million dollars of oil money that go missing each day in Iraq? How would that be?
Finally, people keep voting to impeach.
At Town Meeting on Saturday, Shutesbury became the latest town in Massachusetts to publicly call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Leverett passed a similar measure last week during its Town Meeting.
The shrillness warms my heart.
