Story of Veterans in DC, delivering 23,000 petitions, in support Dennis Kucinich’s 35 Articles of Impeachment, June 11, 2008

VFP D.C. Organizing dynamo, Tony Teolis, shown here, presenting Conyers with thousands of IMPEACH signatures

While most of the 20 some Veterans were conciliatory and pleased to hand our 23,000

pro-IMPEACH petition signatures to Chairman Conyers, both Iraq Veterans Against the War Board of Directors Co-Chair, Adam Kokesh, and Delaware Valley Veterans Executive Director, Bill Perry, made it clear to Judiciary Chair Conyers that we felt betrayed by Conyers failure to advocate for Impeachment, as he had done earlier, ever since the Downing Street Memos, in April, 2005.

In this photo, Impeachment Champion Mike Ferner, another of us Vets who have been working on Impeachment ever since Spring, 2005, presents Conyers with even more of our 23,000 petitions demanding that Congress respect our Oath to Protect & Defend our Constitution v. Domestic Enemy, George Bush.

Immediately AFTER The House sent articles of impeachment against President Bush to the Judiciary Committee Wednesday on a mostly party-line vote: 251-166. Speaking to us Veteran Activists, after today’s historic vote, Kucinich said that if the Judiciary Committee does not act within 30 days, he intends to introduce another, longer version of the articles of impeachment, with 60 counts instead of 35.

“I am not going to let this go. I am not going to let it go. I’ll just keep coming back and they can pile these things up in committee but I’ll keep coming back,” Kucinich said. “I’ll bring it up again, and there will be more. There will be more.”

We request our fellow Veterans, and all our associates to please call, fax, write, and e-mail YOUR Rep, to support (H Res 1258) because of the Administrations’ “abuses of power” during the run-up to the Iraq War, and ever since, as our illegal invasion & occupation continues.

Thank you.

Be Well, RAISE HELL !
