Rep. Grijalva Becomes 23rd Cheney Impeachment Bill Co-sponsor
Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) became the 23rd Congressman to co-sponsor the resolution (H.R. 799, formerly H.R. 333) introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. Grijalva, who represents the 7th Congressional District in Arizona, embracing Tucson and Nogales, is the son of a Mexican migrant worker. He is the 2nd Vice Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. According to the Library of Congress, Rep. Grijalva added his name on Dec. 5.

He is the first Congressman to join the effort to impeach Cheney since Kucinich raised the resolution on the floor of the House of Representatives and it was referred to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Although, as Lyndon LaRouche has stated, the recent National Intelligence Estimate that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program in 2003 has made it more difficult for Cheney to launch an attack on Iran, as long as Cheney remains in office the danger still exists that a major staged incident could still provide the pretext Cheney so desperately desires for sabotaging the peace process supported by LaRouche, which took a step forward at Annapolis.

I hadn't seen this up. Maybe he will be the start of a second, stronger wave to sign on. Maybe that wave will blast through Conyers door, and wash Pelosi's goddamn table away!

2. It's alive and well. Just waiting on John Conyers to schedule a date.
Pelosi is keeping a thumb on him though.

As more scandal and crimes flow out, she will have no choice. The CIA torture tapes have pukes and dems made as hell.

5. That is wonderful!!! This is a difficult political stand. Support may seem slow,...
,...but, it is building.

Keep your fingers crossed and your voices active.

Maybe,...just, maybe,...the Democrats will become the "Accountability Party" in opposition to that freakin' "War Party",...and SUCCEED!!!!
