D.Love2007


WASHINGTON - AUGUST 2 - Congressman Kucinich will receive petitions from people throughout the country who support impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against the Vice President on April 24, 2007, because "the Vice President actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. He has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive us about the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. And he openly lied to the America people and has publicly threatened aggression against Iran," Kucinich said.

There are currently 16 co-sponsors of H.Res. 333: Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Rep. Robert Brady (D-PA), Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), Rep.
