Article XXIX
CONSPIRACY TO VIOLATE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 (con't)
.....
N. Willfully allowing Ohio Secretary of State John Kenneth Blackwell, acting under color of law and
as an agent of George W. Bush, to issue a directive that no votes would be counted unless cast in the
right precinct, reversing Ohio's long-standing practice of counting votes for president if cast in the right
county.
O. Willfully allowing his agent, Ohio Secretary of State John Kenneth Blackwell, the Co-Chair of the
Bush-Cheney Re-election Campaign, to do nothing to assure the voting rights of 10,000 people in the
city of Cleveland when a computer error by the private vendor Diebold Election Systems, Inc.
incorrectly disenfranchised 10,000 voters
P. Willfully allowing his agent, Ohio Secretary of State John Kenneth Blackwell, the Co-Chair of the
Bush-Cheney Re-election Campaign, to ensure that uncounted and provisional ballots in Ohio's 2004
presidential election would be disproportionately concentrated in urban African-American districts.
Q. In Ohio's Lucas County, which includes Toledo, 3,122 or 41.13% of the provisional ballots went
uncounted under the direction of George W. Bush's agent, the Secretary of State of Ohio, John Kenneth
Blackwell, Co-Chair of the Committee to Re-Elect Bush/Cheney in Ohio.
R. In Ohio's Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, 8,559 or 32.82% of the provisional
ballots went uncounted.
S. In Ohio's Hamilton County, which includes Cincinnati, 3,529 or 24.23% of the provisional
ballots went uncounted.
T. Statewide, the provisional ballot rejection rate was 9% as compared to the greater figures in the
urban areas.
U. The Department of Justice, charged with enforcing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 14th
Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, and other voting rights laws in the United States of America,
under the direction and Administration of George W. Bush did willfully and purposely obstruct and
stonewall legitimate criminal investigations into myriad cases of reported electoral fraud and
suppression in the state of Ohio. Such activities, carried out by the department on behalf of George W.
Bush in counties such as Franklin and Knox by persons such as John K. Tanner and others, were meant
to confound and whitewash legitimate legal criminal investigations into the suppression of massive
numbers of legally registered voters and the removal of their right to cast a ballot fairly and freely in
the state of Ohio, which was crucial to the certified electoral victory of George W. Bush in 2004.
V. On or about November 1, 2006, members of the United States Department of Justice, under the
control and direction of the Administration of George W. Bush, brought indictments for voter
registration fraud within days of an election, in order to directly effect the outcome of that election for
partisan purposes, and in doing so, thereby violated the Justice Department's own rules against filing
election-related indictments close to an election;
X. Emails have been obtained showing that the Republican National Committee and members of
Bush-Cheney '04 Inc., did, at the direction of the White House under the administration of George W.
Bush, engage in voter suppression in five states by a method know as "vote caging," an illegal voter
suppression technique;
Y. Agents of George W. Bush, including Mark F. "Thor" Hearne, the national general counsel of
Bush/Cheney '04, Inc., did, at the behest of George W. Bush, as members of a criminal front group,
distribute known false information and propaganda in the hopes of forwarding legislation and other
actions that would result in the disenfranchisement of Democratic voters for partisan purposes. The
scheme, run under the auspices of an organization known as "The American Center for Voting Rights"
(ACVR), was funded by agents of George W. Bush in violation of laws governing tax exempt 501(c)3
organizations and in violation of federal laws forbidding the distribution of such propaganda by the
federal government and agents working on its behalf.
Z. Members of the United States Department of Justice, under the control and direction of the
Administration of George W. Bush, did, for partisan reasons, illegally and with malice aforethought
block career attorneys and other officials in the Department of Justice from filing three lawsuits
charging local and county governments with violating the voting rights of African-Americans and other
minorities, according to seven former senior United States Justice Department employees.
AA. Members of the United States Department of Justice, under the control and direction of the
Administration of George W. Bush, did illegally and with malice aforethought derail at least two
investigations into possible voter discrimination, according to a letter sent to the Senate Rules and
Administration Committee and written by former employees of the United States Department of
Justice, Voting Rights Section.
BB. Members of the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC), under the control and
direction of the Administration of George W. Bush, have purposefully and willfully misled the public,
in violation of several laws, by;
CC. Withholding from the public and then altering a legally mandated report on the true measure and
threat of Voter Fraud, as commissioned by the EAC and completed in June 2006, prior to the 2006 midterm
election, but withheld from release prior to that election when its information would have been
useful in the administration of elections across the country, because the results of the statutorily
required and tax-payer funded report did not conform with the illegal, partisan propaganda efforts and
politicized agenda of the Bush Administration;
DD. Withholding from the public a legally mandated report on the disenfranchising effect of Photo
Identification laws at the polling place, shown to disproportionately disenfranchise voters not of
George W. Bush's political party. The report was commissioned by the EAC and completed in June
2006, prior to the 2006 mid-term election, but withheld from release prior to that election when its
information would have been useful in the administration of elections across the country
EE. Withholding from the public a legally mandated report on the effectiveness of Provisional Voting
as commissioned by the EAC and completed in June 2006, prior to the 2006 mid-term election, but
withheld from release prior to that election when its information would have been useful in the
administration of elections across the country, and keeping that report unreleased for more than a year
until it was revealed by independent media outlets.
For directly harming the rights and manner of suffrage, for suffering to make them secret and
unknowable, for overseeing and participating in the disenfranchisement of legal voters, for instituting
debates and doubts about the true nature of elections, all against the will and consent of local voters
affected, and forced through threats of litigation by agents and agencies overseen by George W. Bush,
the actions of Mr. Bush to do the opposite of securing and guaranteeing the right of the people to alter
or abolish their government via the electoral process, being a violation of an inalienable right, and an
immediate threat to Liberty.
In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his
trust as President, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and
justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, President George W.
Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office.
