Impeachment Begins July 25th
by davidswanson
At 10 a.m. on Friday July 25th, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a preliminary hearing on the topic of impeachment, with a presentation by Congressman Dennis Kucinich. This is not yet a true impeachment hearing, but it is our opportunity to push for one, and it represents a tremendous victory after years of effort by millions of Americans who want to keep the Constitution alive. This never would have happened without your hard work. And we can't let up now!

Articles of Impeachment to be read in the House today! 5 pm
This afternoon, at approximately 5 p.m. (EDT), the Clerk of the House
of Representatives will give the first reading of the Article of
Impeachment of President George Bush. Article One charges the President
with deceiving Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq WMDs to
fraudulently obtain support for an authorization of the use of military
force against Iraq.
Act of War: House Resolution Calls for Naval Blockade against Iran
By Andrew W Cheetham - Global Research, June 18, 2008
A US House of Representatives Resolution effectively requiring a naval blockade on Iran seems fast tracked for passage, gaining co-sponsors at a remarkable speed, but experts say the measures called for in the resolutions amount to an act of war.
H.CON.RES 362 calls on the president to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also "demands" that the President impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran."
Analysts say that this would require a US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

Impeachment "Is Already Beginning" An Analysis Of Kucinich's Impeachment Case (Elizabeth Holtzman)
The House should commence an impeachment inquiry forthwith. In fact, in a sense, it is already beginning. Rep. Kucinich introduced the articles, the House has referred them to the Judiciary Committee and the Senate Intelligence Report goes a long way toward furnishing the investigative work Congress needs to do in the course of impeachment, at least as regards the run-up to the war (Congress should also look at other serious abuses of power, including President Bush's refusal to obey duly enacted laws, as evidenced by hundreds of signing statements, his violations of the laws on wiretapping and mistreatment of detainees).

Could the Bush Administration attack Iran during its remaining months in office?
Hooshang Amirahamdi,
American Iranian Council (AIC)
This
is a question that is on many minds these days. In Tehran, Washington and
London, where I have spent time in the last three months, this question tops any
other issues of concern in the US-Iran spiral conflict. After talking to many
senators, representatives, Lords, MPs, and Iranian deputies, as well as
officials in the three capitals, I have concluded that while it is almost
impossible to provide a definitive answer, complacency is also unacceptable.

Stop the Iraq Sellout Thursday: Call Congress Today
On Thursday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will force the House to approve $163 billion more of our tax dollars for the occupation of Iraq - nearly $100 billion for 2008 plus nearly $70 billion more for 2009.
We are outraged. This Democratic Congress was elected to end the occupation, not fund it forever.
House Democrats are about to re-authorize Iraq war funding
It appears they have given up on
ending the occupation of Iraq now—in favor of more violence, bloodshed,
and lost treasure—so they can end it after the election.(As if!)
We’re putting Congress on alert! Please send an email to your member of Congress—tell them you’ll be voting only for anti-war, pro-single payer healthcare candidates, and you’ll be canvassing your neighbors to convince them to do the same.
