Constitution Summer
Speaking of reading those all-important founding documents for our country, Impeach Bush Coalition points us to Constitution Summer.
Notably:
Constitution Summer represents an emerging coalition of students and young people dedicated to defending the ideals of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights and to checking arbitrary abuses of power and authority, starting with a moderated, legitimate, mainstream, nonpartisan campaign to impeach President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, and their administration."
Constitution Summer's is basing its call for the impeachment of the President and Vice President on four key crimes:
1) illegal domestic spying in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the 4th Amendment;
2) misleading the country into a war of aggression in Iraq based on fraudulent claims;
3) indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition, and torture;
4) abuse of executive authority and subversion of the Constitution."
It is the view of the members of Constitution Summer that each of these charges constitutes an impeachable offense, and that each has been substantiated to the extent that articles of impeachment can legitimately be brought.
"Constitution Summer is organizing youth and students, who constitute a powerful cultural catalyst, in order to bring this issue further into the mainstream
