> Dear Elizabeth,
>
> Our effort to hold the Bush/Cheney Administration accountable has  
> taken another dramatic step forward. Last night, Congressman Dennis  
> Kucinich introduced the first Articles of Impeachment ever to be  
> introduced against President Bush.  It includes, in total, thirty- 
> five Articles detailing this Administration's blatant abuse of  
> power. Today, I enthusiastically co-sponsored this vitally important  
> bill.
>
> I am grateful for Dennis' leadership on this issue and for the  
> steadfast support that countless Americans have given to both of our  
> efforts to redeem our government and expose the crimes of Bush and  
> Cheney.
>
> I will now expand my efforts to secure impeachment hearings in the  
> Judiciary Committee for these new Articles of Impeachment against  
> President George W. Bush.
>
> Many of the charges against President Bush are well known – and  
> would shock the conscience of everyday Americans if only the  
> national media would be willing to report on these stark facts.
>
> The Articles present a stunning narrative of offenses that have go  
> well beyond previous crimes committed by any US chief executive.  In  
> fact no President or Vice President in history has done more to  
> undermine our constitution.
>
> These charges are broad, with 35 separate allegations including the  
> deliberate lies regarding WMDs that led us to war and the approval  
> of illegal wiretapping of American citizens.  The Articles also  
> include new allegations of high crimes – including the explicit  
> approval for high Administration officials to violate treaties and  
> US law banning the use of torture.
>
> The Democratic Party gained a majority in the House and Senate due  
> in large part to our promises to end the corruption of the  
> Republican majority and to hold the Administration accountable to  
> the law. This courageous bill is a crucial step towards fulfilling  
> this promise, but – like the Articles against Cheney – they require  
> your support to convince Democrats and open-minded Republicans to  
> support this bold but necessary action.
>
> Time is running out so we must work together to spread the message  
> and apply pressure.

> Second, call your representative and urge them to support  
> Impeachment hearings.
>
> Finally, contact newspapers, news stations, and your favorite
