CensureBush.org Campaign Launched in Response to New House Legislation

 

 

The AfterDowningStreet.org coalition, an alliance of over 100

grassroots organizations, has launched a new campaign called

CensureBush.org in order to support new legislation introduced by

Congressman John Conyers that would censure President Bush and Vice

President Cheney and create a select committee to investigate the

Administration's possible crimes and make recommendations regarding

grounds for impeachment.

 

H.Res.635 would create a select committee - modeled after Sam Ervin's

Watergate committee - to investigate the Administration's intent to go

to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war

intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, and retaliating

against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for

possible impeachment.

 

H.Res.636 and H.Res.637 would censure, respectively, Bush and Cheney

for failing to respond to requests for information concerning

allegations that they and others in the Administration misled Congress

and the American people regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq,

misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the

justification for the war, countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman,

and degrading treatment of persons in Iraq, and permitted

inappropriate retaliation against critics of the Administration, for

failing to adequately account for certain misstatements they made

regarding the war, and – in the case of President Bush – for failing

to comply with Executive Order 12958.

 

These two efforts are complementary - H.Res.635 seeks accountability

for the Bush administration's monumental crimes, while H.Res.636 and

H.Res.637 seek accountability for their coverups.

 

Ask your Congress Member to support these efforts!

The House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff has just released an

extensive report titled " The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing

Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and

Cover-ups in the Iraq War. " It is available at http://www.censurebush.org

 

The After Downing Street / Censure Bush Coalition has organized over

60 town hall forums around the country on January 7th and plans to

make these new developments in Congress a focus of many of those events:
