Kucinich Welcomes Support from Judiciary Committee Members on Impeachment

Stay on 'em, Dennis!

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,242870.shtml
"Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's push to initiate impeachment hearings against Vice President Richard B. Cheney received a significant boost today when three of his Democratic Congressional colleagues, all members of the House Judiciary Committee, endorsed Kucinich's call for action."
"In a joint public announcement today, Representatives Robert Wexler, Luis Gutierrez, and Tammy Baldwin said, "The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unnecessary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.""

"Charges in the impeachment bill sponsored by Dennis Kucinich, are very detailed and "as good as any," McGovern said, and referenced the illegal eavesdropping of American citizens. He added that the President has "admitted" to this "demonstrably impeachable offense.""

By the way...It's CRIMINAL what's going on down in New Orleans!

New Orleans to Demolish Thousands of ‘Poor’ Homes
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/12/21/5948/
"Demolition crews will now move in to dismantle the 4,500 brick buildings that generations of poor people lived in. The outburst of violence came amid concerns that the authorities intend to reduce the numbers of predominantly poor, black people living in New Orleans."
"“It is beyond callous, and can only be seen as malicious discrimination,” said Kali Akuno of the Coalition to Stop the Demolition. “It is an unabashed attempt to eliminate the black population of New Orleans.”"


"Shortly after Katrina struck, the Republican Congressman Richard Baker told lobbyists in a Baton Rough Red Cross shelter: “We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn’t do it, but God did.”"

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/23/washington/23habeas.html?_r=2&hp=&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
"A newly declassified document shows that J. Edgar Hoover, the longtime director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had a plan to suspend habeas corpus and imprison some 12,000 Americans he suspected of disloyalty."

For all of you non-believers, WAKE-UP! It can (and will?) happen. Ask yourself: who will stand up for you?

"A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old."

..."The new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free -- provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said."

"Withdrawing from the treaties was entirely legal, Means said."
""This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically article six of the constitution," which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land, he said.
"It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the US and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent," said Means."

Military Evangelism Deeper, Wider Than First Thought

Scary article.

"Frank Bussey, director of Military Ministry at Fort Jackson, has been telling soldiers at Fort Jackson that "government authorities, police and the military = God's Ministers,"
"Bussey's teachings from the "God's Basic Training" Bible study guide he authored says US troops have "two primary responsibilities": "to praise those who do right" and "to punish those who do evil - "God's servant, an angel of wrath." Bussey's teachings directed at Fort Jackson soldiers were housed on the Military Ministry at
Fort Jackson web site. Late Wednesday, the web site was taken down without explanation. Bussey did not return calls for comment. The web site text, however, can still be viewed in an archived format."
