Veterans for Peace — 16 May 2008 — by Elliott Adams — “History shows that nearly every impeachment effort at the federal level has taken less time than what still remains in George Bush’s term of office. Will history also show that the House Committee on the Judiciary did its duty to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic?” — ST. LOUIS — IN A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO HOUSE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN JOHN CONYERS, THE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION, VETERANS FOR PEACE, CHALLENGED CONGRESS to do its duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Accompanying Elliott Adams’ letter were petitions signed by over 10,000 people, plus substantial documentation of the myriad impeach offenses of the Bush administration. “Our petition focuses on what veterans are understandably concerned about: violations of the Geneva Conventions, the U.N. Charter and resolutions, the Nuremberg Principles, and the Laws and Customs of War on Land, which limit the conduct of military forces towards each other and civilian populations.”
