Kucinich on C-Span NOW
For the past three hours (roughly), Dennis Kucinich has been giving 35 articles of impeachment for George W. Bush. He was on #18, "Torture", at 6:30 PM PDT, when I first tuned in.

If you have C-Span, WATCH.

"In all of this, President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office."

Ended at 8:52 PM PDT.

I have thanked Representative Kucinich at reply@kucinichforcongress.com and also my representative, Peter DeFazio, for backing him. I've also written to House Speaker Pelosi to encourage her to support these articles of impeachment.
