CensureBush.org


"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."


It looks as though Bushs' lies are starting to catch up with him. After having just read about Rep. Conyers' motion to censure the President and Vice President, at The Raw Story , I find this site. It's got tons of info, along with links to stories from other sites, all aimed at what I've considered for a long time now to be crimes that should warrant prison-time for His Majesty (though that's certainly too much to ask), or at least exile to whatever equivalent to the Isle of Elba we can find.

I'm glad the motion includes the Cheney. People have long been wanting Bush impeached, but that would leave someone (IMO) even worse to elevate to the highest office. If Bush goes, Cheney has to go with him. But remember, as was mentioned in the Raw Story article, there'll be no censure or impeachment as long as the Republicans retain the majority. So this is where the importance of next years' elections really come into play, if there's to be any justice meted out to probably the most lying criminal we've ever had as President.

"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."

I can think of other crimes, like Bushs' Snoopgate, but these will do for a start.
