Kucinich To Hold Press Conference at 3 p.m. Tuesday (Following Introduction of H.R. 333)

Kucinich Will Introduce Privileged Resolution To Force Vote On Impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney TOMORROW

Washington, Nov 5 -

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will offer a privileged resolution on the House floor tomorrow that will bring articles of impeachment against the Vice President, Richard B. Cheney. Following the introduction of the privileged resolution, Kucinich will hold a news conference in 2456 Rayburn at 3 p.m.

“The Vice President is cherry picking intelligence and selectively using facts in a manner that does not portray the complete picture,” Kucinich said.

“The best option to prevent an unnecessary war with Iran is to impeach the Vice President, the lead cheerleader of the war. The Constitution gave Congress the power to impeach. Congress must use its power to restrain the Administration and impeach the Vice President before he prods the United States into another war.”

On April 24, 2007, Kucinich introduced H. Res. 333, the Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President. The first two charges focus on the Vice President’s successful effort to mislead the Congress and American public into a war against Iraq. The last charge focuses upon the Vice President’s determination to again mislead the Congress and American public into a war, this one against Iran.

“H. Res. 333 has been before the House of Representatives for half a year and has 21 cosponsors. At the same time, the Vice President has escalated his belligerence towards Iran. Thus, I believe it is now urgent to move the impeachment resolution,” Kucinich concluded.

1. K&R! I hope he gets lots of press so the public knows somebody is actually
taking measures in this direction. Go Dennis! And I'd like to give a shout out to Jim McDermott in Washington State who was my representative for years!

23. Please call and spread the word to call Congress and the media
It's "all hands on deck time" folks- once again, we need to BE THE MEDIA since most people, do not know anything about this and it's up to us to spread the word and don't forget to call your representative to demand that they support HR 333.

24. Calling C-Span
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 02:34 PM by rockybelt
I called C-Span and was told by the receptionist that the Kucinich news conference is a "tentative schedule" program and that the management of C-Spin will decide whether or not to air it.
I was not allowed to speak to any management.
If enough people call---maybe.
She did say that it would probably be closer to 5:00 if it does air.

28. We have little to be proud of in this Congress.
Dennis Kucinich is the very rare exception. There are a few others, but for my money

Dennis is The Man!



Go, Dennis!
