Dennis Kucinich, continuing his campaign in New Hampshire and having received the endorsement of New Hampshire State Representative Betty Hall, has announced that he will include George W. Bush in his impeachment resolution!
From the Nashua Telegraph:
Kucinich said he would seek “more lengthy” impeachment charges against Bush but declined to say if this move would come before the Jan. 8 primary in New Hampshire.
This represents a change in Dennis’ thinking. Before, with H Res 333, he aimed at the impeachment of VicePresident Richard V. Cheney, with the option of impeaching Bush to be used after Mr. Cheney had been impeached and removed.
Hall had offered up an impeachment resolution in the New Hampshire House:
House leaders from both parties in this state opposed letting Hall’s late proposal in for an up or down vote.
Once a legislature, always a legislature it seems.
Dennis also spoke about the US House of Representatives’ recent bill with non-binding language to bring the troops home from Iraq:
The Ohio congressman said the most recent House-passed plan to set a timetable for ending the war still would permit permanent bases in Iraq and allow Americans soldiers to train Iraqi military and police and to fight off insurgents.
“This is a fraud, a total fraud, and it breaks the promise the Democrats made to the voters that we would get out of Iraq,” Kucinich said of his own party’s congressional leadership during an interview Wednesday.
And then there’s Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution:
[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
June 2, 1784
Article 10, New Hampshire Constitution
Live Free or Die! Indeed!
“I’m going to quote that language from the New Hampshire Constitution all over the country. Clearly New Hampshire is the place to bring this message,” Kucinich said.
Dennis will be leading an Imeachment TeachIn at Dartmouth College on Monday Evening. For more information, go to Kucinichtv.com and find out more about Dennis’ Constitutional Convention Initiative.
