Moreover, [George W. Bush] said that he had not yet made up his mind to go to war when he demanded the U.S. Congress relinquish to him the Congress's constitutional power to declare war against Iraq. He lied. The published "Downing Street Memorandum," a revealing communication between the British Cabinet Office and its chief correspondent in Washington, D.C., confirms that at least six months before Bush demanded that Congress cede its war-making powers to him, he had already decided irrevocably to overthrow the Iraqi regime by military force. The memorandum also charges that the Bush administration "fixed the intelligence and the facts ... around the policy. The second impeachment count includes wholesale violations of the Geneva Conventions and U.S. law, resulting from the Bush admin...

As we in Texas bear guilt for this we have also begun to join the resistance and revolt against it, starting with Cindy Sheehan's brigades in Crawford. By happy accident the Texas trip-root that now threatens to help bring the Bush presidency crashing down, crushing itself under its own arrogance, hubris, and criminality, is a law against corporate money in Texas elections that was passed a century ago in the state's populist afterglow. To uphold that law, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle has braved ruthless contumely, as he had done often before in order to prosecute public officials he believed had violated the laws. While it is merely seemly to await the outcome of the trial of [Tom DeLay] and his co-defendants on the charges that they laundered corporate money through Wa...

BETTER BUSINESS MODEL What if business people started saying no? No to mega-growth, no to the frenetic pace of trying to get superrich, no to dog-eat-dog economics. No to the prevailing corporate ethic that your business must always be getting bigger to be a "winner." Well, it's happening. It gets little coverage by a media constantly fawning over barons like Amazon or Starbucks, but there is a quiet rebellion among entrepreneurs who are choosing a heretical business path. These folks want to make a profit--not a killing. They don't want to run over their competitor or become a farflung chain. They want more control over their own lives and want their businesses to be based on satisfying customers and treating workers as valued partners. One of these community-based entrepreneurs says h...

Seething that the state attorney general believes Maryland should recognize out-of-state gay marriages, a county delegate pledged this week to impeach him even though the House of Delegates may not have legal authority to do so.

Not on OUR agenda? Next to President Nixon's statement that "If the president does it, that makes it legal," that's one of the most arrogant statements I've ever heard a politician make. What about the people's agenda? Who does [Steny Hoyer] think he and Pelosi are to totally ignore the will of the people of this country? They are in direct violation of their oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC" (emphasis added). The oath says absolutely nothing about if it happens to be convenient, or, whether or not it's on your agenda. At first, I thought it was the fault of the news media that these issue were not kept before the American people, but now I see the light-[George Bush] is allowed to get away with all the...

Impeach Cheney To the editor -- Given the deception perpetrated upon Congress and the country by Vice President Dick Cheney, Congress needs to pursue immediately impeachment proceedings. The issues involved are oil and energy policy, Iraq's WMDs, theft of tax dollars by Halliburton in Iraq, the failure of administration strategy for the Iraq war, and others too numerous to mention. In addition, I question the secrecy and constant resistance to transparency of the workings of Cheney's office, the denial of information to which the U.S. public has a right.

Three years ago a lonely figure stood on an interstate pedestrian overpass. There was a sign attached to the fencing and the man waved his arms to attract the attention of speeding motorists below. The word on the sign was "Impeach." The man was I. Mr. Bush was, of course, never impeached. Though the case for impeachment had been made in several books - books based on sober analyses of law and facts - the Democratic Party leader in the House nevertheless famously declared that impeachment was "off the table.

We've won four consecutive races in Mississippi, special elections to the House. We've won the mayor's race in Mobile, Alabama, which is one of the most conservative parts of a very conservative state. So we're starting to win in places that Democrats couldn't win before. "You know, politics is nasty, and I'm learning firsthand how nasty it can be," said Richie the Rookie. "That's OK, I signed up for this. I'm a big boy. But it suddenly dawned on me that perhaps Vermont could send a message to the rest of the country that it doesn't always have to be nasty. It can be issues-based, and I thought maybe it would be a good thing to do here." "Sanders is as radical as they come," writes O'[Neill] to donors. "In fact, he's so far to the Left that he calls himself an 'independent' because he...

Until I read Seymour Hersh's expose in the New Yorker and subsequent follow-up coverage by other journalists about the Bush administration's plans to start a war against Iran, I had dismissed talk of George W. Bush's messianism as so much Beltway chatter. True, he hears voices, even claiming that God and Jesus Christ talk to him. "I believe God wants me to run for president," he told a friend in Texas. Eschewing mainstream religion, he routinely parrots the apocalyptic ravings of fringe Christianist cults: "And the light [America] has shone in the darkness [the enemies of America], and the darkness will not overcome it [America shall conquer its enemies]," he said during his fevered campaign for war against Iraq. He mimics Old Testament cadences: "God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I...
