Representative Robert Wexler, Florida Democrat, who publicly called for impeachment hearings this spring, immediately co-sponsored Kucinich’s resolution June 10th. Representatives Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Sam Farr (D-CA) also signed on to the resolution. More co-sponsors are expected.
In a bipartisan vote of 251-166, the full House of Representatives sent Dennis Kucinich's 35 Articles of Impeachment to the Judiciary Committee. That means Chairman John Conyers now has the power to decide whether to hold impeachment hearings — or not. Incredibly, 24 Republicans voted with 227 Democrats; the 166 no votes came exclusively from Republicans.

New York Times — 11 June 2008 — by Associated Press —
• Kucinich Seeks to Impeach Bush • — WASHINGTON DC — Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, Democrat of Ohio, defied his party leadership on Monday by calling for the impeachment of President Bush for starting the war in Iraq — but his move was not expected to go anywhere. Mr. Kucinich, a former presidential candidate, outlined his intention to propose more than two dozen charges against Mr. Bush on the floor of the House. He accused Mr. Bush of executing a “calculated and wide-ranging strategy” to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she opposes trying to remove Mr. Bush, calling such an effort divisive and most likely unsuccessful.

[Editor’s Note: Yup, that’s right, this is the “newspaper of record’s” entire coverage of Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States. Well gollywhizzer, why should the Times offer an expensive extensive report of the Kucinich-Wexler resolution? Why on earth should the Times print the entire 65-page text of the bill? After all, this action concerns only the destruction of our constitution, an illegal war that’s slaughtered millions, torture, unwarranted spying, an economic crash with a national debt at $9-trillion, massive fraud by private companies and mercenary armies run by Bush-Cheney’s thug pals, and oh yeah, the theft of democracy with stolen elections, and the specter of a new war against Iran and a police-state dictatorship in the USA. Hell, why would any responsible newspaper want to devote space to this? Oh well. Here’s some short coverage from C-SPAN:]

19th Congressional District of Florida — 10 June 2008 — by Staff of Rep. Robert Wexler—
Congressman Wexler Co-Sponsors Bush Impeachment. — WASHINGTON DC — TODAY, CONGRESSMAN ROBERT WEXLER (D-FL), A SENIOR MEMBER OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, SIGNED ONTO CONGRESSMAN DENNIS KUCINICH’S (D-OH) ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. The Articles outline numerous allegations against President Bush, including his creation of a massive propaganda campaign to mislead the nation into war with Iraq, the illegal use of torture during interrogation, the authorization of a warrantless wiretapping program on American citizens, and the repetitive use of signing statements to negate legislation passed by Congress.
“President Bush deliberately created a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people and the charges detailed in this impeachment resolution indicate an unprecedented abuse of executive power,” said Congressman Wexler. “A decision by Congress to pursue impeachment is not an option, it is a sworn duty. It is time for Congress to stand up and defend the Constitution against the blatant violations and illegalities of this Administration. Our Founding Fathers bestowed upon Congress the power of impeachment, and it is now time that we use it to defend the rule of law from this corrupt Administration.”
This year Congressman Wexler launched a nationwide campaign to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney and he has also called for inherent contempt for Karl Rove for ignoring subpoenas to testify. Congressman Wexler also led an effort to bring Scott McClellan before the House of Representatives to testify about the devastating revelations made in his recently released book.
