The world can't wait.

Global people for the impeachment of Richard Cheney

Target:
End war crimes and the political instability on the planet
Sponsored by: 

IMPEACH, INDICT, IMPRISON

The charges are too serious to ignore. And our voices are not on any US petitions.

The Bush administration must finally be impeached.

There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and brought America into an unneccesary and genocidal war against Iraq using flawed intelligence.  We feel this must be investigated. To prevent future abuses, the proper international legal avenues must be followed.  Serious breaches of international law have occurred.

The world is paying the price, not just America.

While it is the constitutional and international duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings, the world grows weary of waiting.  We sign to prevent any further wars by the United States.  And we wish to see an end to war crimes.  We do this to end the vast archipelago of "detainment" facilties and the lack of international criminal court oversight of these facilities.  We do this to end the practice of torture.

We ask that there be a return to the rule of international law on the part of the United States.

On April 24, 2007 H. Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment Against Dick Cheney, was introduced in Congress. Since then two dozen Members of Congress have signed on as cosponsors of the measure.  Yet elected American officials refuse to act.

According to long established precedent, the next step should be Judiciary Committee hearings on impeachment. 

Our petition is urging House Judiciary Committee to conduct these hearings so vital in recovering the health of our planet and ending the specific wars which must be identified in the  enquiry process.

We will be calling Congress (202) 224-3121 and

contacting our own media to let them know that a push is on for the immediate impeachment of Richard Cheney in the US Congress and ask  that this be given publicity far and wide. 

We do this in support of those Americans who are signing petitions for the impeachment of Richard Cheney, war criminal.

The fourteen impeachable offenses can be found at
http://kucinich.house.gov/UploadedFiles/int3.pdf.

We sign in support of those in the United States citizens demanding impeachment and ask that this be pursued as quickly as possible so that the war crimes will stop and the planet be restored to stability and sanity with the respect to international law.

We ask that our voices be heard in the United States Congress.  We ask that our concerns be given the highest priority.

We are aware that Cheney has seriously abused his power and believe he has committed a number of impeachable and serious crimes, including treason, and demand a thorough investigation, beginning with his secret energy meetings and his role in 9/11, right up to and including authorizing the use of torture and the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Torture, for any reason, isn't appropriate or effective. As a country that prides itself as the example for others, what are we becoming when torture is discussed seriously in the White House? It's time for the words, "We the People" to start being carried in the hearts and minds of our government. "We the People" will not stand to have our country's reputation ruined by "tyrannical" acts in the White House.

IT IS WAY PAST TIME TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR, AFTER ALL, OVER 70% OF 'WE THE PEOPLE' (AMERICAN CITIZENS) WANT CHENEY IMPEACHED, ALONG WITH BUSH AND HIS CABAL. GUESS WE NEED TO IMPEACH (REPLACE) YOU IN THE COMING ELECTIONS SINCE YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND TO DO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE/CITIZENS OF THE USA.

Wexler Wants Hearings: 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. http://www.wexlerwantshearings.com/

It is inconceivable that there could possibly be more or better grounds for impeachment of both Bush and Cheney than we have already. It is impossible to imagine that the founders of our constitution could have had any purpose at all intended for impeachment if not for this. Failure to impeach will make a total mockery of our so-called democracy before the entire world. Nothing that we do or say in supposed support of democracy will ever again have the slightest credibility whatsoever. No one is less guilty in this whole affair than those cowardly members of congress who are ignoring their most important of all sworn duties to defend the constitution by their failure to impeach. When your house is on fire, you don't stop to calculate whether you are sure you could succeed in putting it out. You just wade in and do the best you can. I will not vote for any candidate for any office who has failed to actively and publicly support impeachment whatever their party.

It is imperative that protection of the Constitution and the American People be secured by successfully indicting and prosecuting Cheney, then George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Rumsfeld, and Rice, for War Crimes as so blatantly evident by countless dishonest and illegal events. It is further imperative that the World Community be a part of this legal action to halt the advance of corporate capitalism out of control to the detriment of other nations and their peoples.

Not only did Richard Cheney abuse the powers of his office, he denounced the U.S. Constitution, has lied to Americans repeatedly, engaged in conspiracy, and a long list of acts of terrorism. He is a worst-case example of a Vice-President serving in an administration that was never elected by the people of this country. He should and must be removed from office an instant before the impeachment of George W. Bush, one of his co-conspirators.

Cheney is not the only one, we must impeach and convict him and Bush and Rice and Rumsfeld and Powell along with other. War crimes. -----------------Everyone, search and do everything you can to get this done. --------------Sign petitions, make phone calls, VISIT your reps in person, contact media, make short and to the point cards of facts and give them to the press. Pass out flyers. ------------------------------Read "United States V. George W. Bush et al." by Elizabeth De La Vega------------------- talk to everyone, including coworkers, family members, neighbors, people at stores, get people aware and make them understand this bunch of war mongering thugs in Washington are destroying everything and WE THE PEOPLE must DEMAND they either end up in jail or start working to uphold their oath of office and serve the people.

The invasion of Iraq was neither self defense or authorized by a U.N. resolution. It is thus a war crime and, since the U.S. signed the treaty establishing the U.N., it is a war crime under U.S. law as well as international law. The Bush administration has used 9/11 to frighten American citizens into allowing the abolition of habaeus corpus and the right to a fair trial, the legalization of torture and the invasion of Iraq.

Men and women of the House Judiciary Committee of the United States of America I want to add my voice to those who have signed this petition. The prima facie case against Dick Cheney having broked international law and domestic law and his own oath of office is sufficiently strong that should impeachment hearings fail to go ahead it seems that those of us who are not represented in your democracy but who share the values that your country professes will have little alternative but to conclude that the United States of America is no longer a nation of laws.

There is no better term to use about the Iraq "war" than "genocidal". More than 1,820 tons (3-million, 640 thousand pounds) of radio-active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs. That's 14,000. Humanity can no longer afford to allow people like Vice President Cheney to "govern" and have access to Weapons of Mass Destruction. The dust particles from Iraq are a threat to the whole planet. We the People of the United States need to Unite with the World Community to stop these heinous crimes. Will someone PLEASE do something????? This is INSANITY to allow such criminals to be at the helm of any Nation, Company, or any organization. Impeach him. Lets not stop with Dick Cheney. There are many complicit in these crimes.

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen: I pray you do not hesitate in impeaching Cheney for genocide (including millions of children, acts of international aggression, increasing hunger and sickness and poverty around the world, and making an incredibly handsome profits through his corporate contacts (Halliburton, etc.). Also, consider his negligence toward USA's legitimate needs, such as decent living standards for the USA's middle and lower classes and universal health care, issues that cause him merely to yawn. With my regards, María Soledad Cervantes-Ramírez

Cheney deserves to be impeached for his responsability, abuse of power and lies to the world and for his evil action and genocide against innocent civilians and children in Iraq !!! Thank you

The cessation of war criminality will not stop without impeachment proceedings. Torture/"enhanced interrogation techniques", kidnap/"rendition", lies, deceit, and coverup have become the order of the day, rather than the rule of international law. As persons who cannot sign petitions for impeachment as we are not US citizens, we can sign our support for impeachment efforts and ask that the US Congress pursue this enquiry to gain evidence of the international law violations. Help us end torture, rendition and return to following international law. NOW. Please.
