32 Representatives for Bush Impeachment

32 US Reps for Bush Impeachment Inquiry

 

By Matthew Cardinale, Editor and National Correspondent, Atlanta

 

Progressive News (March 16, 2006)

(APN) ATLANTA – 32 US House Representatives have signed on as

sponsors or co-sponsors of H. Res 635, which would create a Select

Committee to look into the grounds for recommending President Bush's

impeachment, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

 

Their co-sponsorships of H. Res 635 come on the heels of reports

that US Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) will

support US Senator Russ Feingold's (D-WI) bill, S. Res 398, to

censure President Bush.

 

The two latest co-sponsors of H. Res 635 are US Rep. David Wu (D-OR)

and US Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN).

 

" Because of my concern, and that of many of my constituents,

regarding the misleading and fraudulent intelligence used by the Bush

administration to present its case for war in Iraq, I decided to

cosponsor H. Res 635 introduced by Representative John Conyers, " Wu

said in a statement prepared for Atlanta Progressive News.

 

US Rep. Wu has held a series of Town Hall events focusing on the war

in Iraq in his House district, the Congressman's spokesperson said.

At these events, numerous constituents brought up the bill for H.

Res 635, Wu's spokesperson noted, adding that Wu voted against the

resolution for the authorization for the use of force in Iraq, and

he has always questioned Bush's justification for the US invasion of

Iraq.

 

US Rep. McCollum was attending events in her House district and was

not available for immediate comment.

 

" There has been massive support for House Resolution 635 from a very

vigorous network of grassroots activists and people committed to

holding the Bush Administration accountable for its widespread

abuses of power, " US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) said in a statement

prepared for Atlanta Progressive News.

 

" The Atlanta Progressive News has reported regularly on this bill, "

Conyers wrote in an article on his blog.

 

Meanwhile, other mainstream media outlets are finally beginning to

discover what we've been reporting since December 2005.

Unfortunately, articles from the New York Times, Associated Press,

and Boston Globe, have contained misleading or outright incorrect

assertions.

 

The Associated Press updated one article after a call from Atlanta

Progressive News, where it had erroneously reported the content of H.

Res 635. The New York Times today and Boston Globe yesterday reported

inaccurate or misleading counts of the number of co-sponsors. The

Times had said " about two dozen, " which is not a very good way to

describe 32.

 

The Globe made an understandable error, citing 29 supporters, when

there had been in fact 29 co-sponsors, plus Conyers, the original

sponsor, made 30, at the time.

 

The New York Times piece was also highly slanted, focusing on the

likelihood that calls for looking into the grounds for Bush's

impeachment–or for Bush's censure–would rally the Republican base.

 

The Times neglects to mention the possibility of rallying the

Democratic base. It also opts out of discussing the possible merits

of the bill.

 

Meanwhile, at least eight (8) US cities, including Arcata, Santa

Cruz, and San Francisco, each in California; and Brookfield,

Dummerston, Marlboro, Newfane, and Putney, each in Vermont, have

passed resolutions calling for Bush's impeachment.

 

Almost 16% of US House Democrats now support the impeachment probe;

over 7% of all US House Representatives now support the probe. In

December 2005, there were 231 Republicans in the US House, 202

Democrats, 1 Independent, and 1 vacancy, a clerk for the US House of

Representatives told Atlanta Progressive News.

 

The best represented states on H. Res 635 are California (7), New

York (6), Massachusetts (3), Minnesota (3), Georgia (2), and

Wisconsin (2).

 

The current 30 total co-sponsors are Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI),

Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA), Rep. Lois

Capps (D-CA), Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Rep. John Conyers (D-

MI), Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA), Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Rep. Mike

Honda (D-CA), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-

CA), Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Rep. Betty

McCollum (D-MN), Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-

GA), Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Rep. James

Oberstar (D-MN), Rep. John Olver (D-MA), Rep. Major Owens (D-NY),

Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), Rep. Martin

Sabo (D-MN), Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL),

Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA), Rep. John Tierney (D-MA), Rep. Nydia

Velazquez (D-NY), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-

CA), and Rep. David Wu (D-OR). " What a lot of activists group want

is the next step, which is Articles of Impeachment. You don't have

to pass this type of bill first. I think there's a fair chance that

if the list of co-sponsors grows dramatically, Conyers and others

will take that next step of introducing articles of impeachment, "

David Swanson of ImpeachPAC told Atlanta Progressive News.

 

At least two members of Congress are prepared to sign Articles of

Impeachment if they were to be introduced, sources tell Atlanta

Progressive News. One of the members is US Rep. John Lewis (D-GA),

whose office clarified earlier Associated Press reports, by saying

Lewis would indeed sign such a bill, assuming that any bill of

impeachment would of course be introduced as a result of a thorough

process, such as one including the investigation called for in H.

Res 635. Dave Lindorff wrote in The Baltimore Chronicle that he and

Barbara Olshansky (an attorney at The Center for Constitutional

Rights) will reveal in an upcoming book that " members of Congress–

even firebrands like Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Cynthia McKinney (D-

GA)–have been strong-armed behind the scenes by the Democratic

National Committee not to introduce an impeachment bill in the

House. " Conyers's bill was initially referred to the US House Rules

Committee, which has not taken action. None of the US House

Democrats on the Rules Committee have signed on as co-sponsors.

The Ranking Democrat on the Committee is US Rep. Louise Slaughter

(D-NY). Democratic members of the Committee are Alcee Hastings (D-

FL), Doris Matsui (D-CA), and James McGovern (D-MA). Republicans

currently outnumber Democrats on the committee by about a two-to-one

ratio.

 

The US House Rules Committee would need to take action on H. Res 635

because it calls for the creation of a Select Committee, in other

words the creation of a new committee that is not a standing

committee, Jonathan Godfrey, Communications Director for US Rep.

Conyers, told Atlanta Progressive News. Such a Committee would need

to be staffed, Godfrey noted.

 

If the Democratic Party is able to retake the US House of

Representatives, Rep. Conyers would become Chairman Conyers of the

House Judiciary Committee, whereas he is currently the Ranking

Democrat on the Committee. The Judiciary Committee would oversee any

actual impeachment investigation.

 

If not acted on this session, the bill would have to be reintroduced

next session. It is possible that a new bill could include new

language regarding Bush's approval of illegal NSA domestic

wiretapping. For now, however, sources in Washington DC tell Atlanta

Progressive News that H. Res 635 is a venue for coalition among

members of Congress who are willing to consider impeachment for a

variety of reasons. Even though H. Res 635 does not specifically

reference the NSA domestic wiretapping issue, some Members of US

Congress have found the wiretapping issue to be a compelling reason

to sign on as a co-sponsor, sources say.

 

In other words, why introduce separate legislation to address a

single issue when momentum has been built with H. Res 635? The thing

about H. Res. 635 is, it deals with impeaching Bush over a cluster

of issues from misleading the public to go to war, to authorizing

torture. Wiretapping was not listed as one of the reasons to

investigate the grounds for Bush's impeachment in the bill because

the existence of the secret, illegal wiretapping had not come to

light yet when the bill was being prepared.

 

US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) withdrew her name from H. Res 635 last

month, whereas she had been listed as a cosponsor throughout January

2006.

 

Lofgren cited a clerical error for her name having been listed in the

first place. Lofgren's Office told Atlanta Progressive News the

Representative learned of her being listed as a co-sponsor after

reading an exclusive article by Atlanta Progressive News issued

January 01, 2006.

 

H. Res 635 reads as its official title: " Creating a select committee

to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before

congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence,

encouraging and countenancing torture, retaliating against critics,

and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible

impeachment. " The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) also just

released a book, Articles of Impeachment Against President Bush. The

Center is extremely influential in high-profile court fights over

issues such as wiretapping, the treatment of detainees by the US,

and felon voting rights.

 

" We have the book, we are calling for the impeachment of the

President, and we're supporting Conyers's resolution, " Bill Goodman,

CCR Legal Director, told Atlanta Progressive News.

 

Atlanta Progressive News has provided near-exclusive–and during many

times, exclusive–coverage of the progress of H. Res 635. We will

continue to follow this story and any related developments.
