Impeach Gonzales!

Impeach Gonzales!



By Jim Dean, DFA


Since
Monday, over 41,000 people have called for the impeachment of U.S.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Please join us by signing the
petition right now:

Here is some of the buzz:

The Nation1:
This is a classic “it's-about-time” development. Democracy for America
and Greenwald are giving the American people an opportunity to demand
that Congress get serious about holding an errant executive branch to
account.

The Boston Globe2: It's time for an impeachment, not just to oust Gonzales, but as a salutary warning to his superiors.

DailyKos3:
Making those Republicans squirm on this vote makes it worth it in and
of itself. Add in the political pressure of the just announced Impeach Gonzales by DFA and BraveNewFilms, this is one issue that's not going to go away for Gonzo, for Bush, or for the GOP.

And in her front page post today, Arianna Huffington4
restates her belief that “the impeachment of Gonzalez is richly
deserved.” The movement to impeach Gonzales is growing. Please sign the
petition now:

When
asked about the Senate's push for a possible no-confidence vote against
Gonzales to take place in a few weeks, President Bush accused critics
of engaging in “pure political theater.” He added, “I stand by Al
Gonzales.”

President Bush has no intention to fire Gonzales. To restore integrity to the Justice Department, Congress has only one option.

If
the President thinks this is political theater, it is up to us to make
sure impeachment is Alberto Gonzales' curtain call. Please sign the
petition right now and then pass it on.

Thank you for moving America forward,

Jim Dean
