The Bush administration has illegally seized and imprisoned Americans without benefit of their trial by jury, has spied on Americans without warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, has lied America into a disastrous war, and has betrayed an American intelligence officer, who was working on weapons of mass destruction networks, to our enemies (Valerie Plame.)
Impeachment hearings against Vice President Dick Cheney are now a distinct possibility, thanks to a recent outpouring of public support for impeachment by Americans across the political spectrum. Your calls and faxes to House Judiciary Committee members are needed to keep up the pressure.
Leave a message with as many House Judiciary Committee members as you can, as well as with your own congressman, to demand they obey their oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Act now to restore your rights and the rule of law.
Committee members do not accept emails from people outside their districts. Thank you!
Action: Go to House Judiciary Committee members' individual fax and phone numbers

Our Founding Fathers knew about people like George Bush and Dick Cheney:
"...He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power...For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury...For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments..." -Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence
Dear Congressman _______,
I write to you because of the considerable influence you have in this Congress. I am dismayed by your current refusal to investigate and confront, via Impeachment, the violators of our Constitution.
With the introduction of articles of impeachment by Congressman Kucinich on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, you are presented with an historic opportunity to act on your oath to defend the Constitution. I demand you seize this opportunity.
Support the resolution calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney that is now awaiting action in the Judiciary Committee. Heed the call from a member of the committee, Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida :
"The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush Administration; and, if it is determined in these hearings that Vice President Cheney has committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors, he should be impeached and removed from office. It is time for Congress to expose the multitude of misdeeds of the Administration, and I am hopeful that the Judiciary Committee will expeditiously begin an investigation of this matter."
Exposure of the Vice President's many misdeeds will enlighten others to the damage that is being done in our name, and to our Constitution, creating a groundswell that may very well lead to enough votes in the Senate to impeach. By opening hearings in the House you begin that process, moving our nation out from under the cloud of this administration,
Should you stop Kucinich resolution in committee, you will fail your own oath of office. "To defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." With such precedent, you will allow this current administration - and any future White House - to commit additional high crimes and misdemeanors without consequence.
The remedy to the abuses of the Bush administration is in the Constitution. The Congress has the power to impeach the Vice President, and the President - Use It! Failure to act is irresponsible and unacceptable.

What happened to make this possible? USA Today report
The following is a report and action steps republished from Afterdowningstreet.org. Please support Afterdowningstreet generously!
Impeach Cheney Now!
Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2006-05-08 14:22. ImpeachmentFriday, Nov. 9, 2007, Kucinich sent this letter to Chairman John Conyers.
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2007, Kucinich introduced H Res 333 as a privileged resolution. It survived an attempt to table (kill) it. It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee: Live Blog and video of what happened.
Kucinich's post-introduction statement.
Waffling reaction from Conyers' committee via BradBlog:
"The Committee has a very busy agenda - over the next two weeks, we hope to pass a FISA bill, to vote on contempt of Congress citations, pass legislation on prisoner re-entry, court security and a variety of other very important items. We were surprised that the minority was so ready to move forward with consideration of a matter of such complexity as impeaching the Vice President. The Chairman will discuss today's vote with the Committee members but it would seem evident that the committee staff should continue to consider, as a preliminary matter, the many abuses of this Administration, including the Vice President."
Take Action: Contact the House Judiciary Committee.
Congressman Dennis Kucinich, whose bill to impeach Cheney has 22 sponsors, introduced his resolution as planned on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on November 6.
Read "It's Time to Impeach Cheney" by Dennis Kucinich.
Watch Dennis in a short video, and another one.
Here's report from Nov. 5 conference call with Kucinich.
ImpeachCheney.org is a Project of AfterDowningStreet.org
54% of Americans want Cheney impeached, and 64% of Vermonters.
H. Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment Against Dick Cheney (reintroduced on Nov. 6, 2007, as H Res 799), is sponsored by the following Members of Congress: Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Keith Ellison, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Albert Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Dennis Kucinich, Yvette Clarke, Jim McDermott, Jim Moran, Bob Filner, Sam Farr, Robert Brady, Tammy Baldwin, Donald Payne, Steve Cohen, Sheila Jackson Lee, Carolyn Kilpatrick, Ed Towns, Diane Watson, Danny Davis.

See the video:
High-res Quicktime version to show at events.
1. Ask your Congress Member to support impeachment proceedings against Cheney. Rep. Dennis Kucinich wants to put the name of everyone who supports Dick Cheney's impeachment in the Congressional Record! The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session and is fully searchable. Every day that Congress is in session, Rep. Kucinich will submit 5 single-spaced pages of names with states, which is the daily limit under House rules. To be included, all you need to do is submit this petition. (After you Email them, you might also want to send them a letter like this one.)
Here's a chart of all members of Congress, where they stand on impeachment, and what their constituents are doing about it. Submit updates and corrections here. (Because we want real updates and not spam, we require that you log in. In order to log in, you must register.)
2. Ask members of the House Judiciary Committee and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
5. Print out postcards to mail to Congress Members. We have three versions in three formats contributed by three people. Use a simple PDF, or a simple Word doc, or, a two-sided card: front jpg, back jpg.
