February 13 IMPEACHMENT UPDATE-MORE "LIE'S" =CONGRESSMAN WEXLER=Wexler Confronts Condi on War Lies; Demands Contempt Vote Today, in hearings on Capitol Hill, I confronted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on her role in the lies, exaggerations, and misdirection that led us into the Iraq war. During my questioning, Secretary Rice falsely stated that she never saw intelligence casting doubt on the Bush Administration claims that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. This unbelievable statement is flatly contradicted by numerous government reports and CIA testimonials. (To watch the video of my exchange with Secretary Rice, click here.) Secretary Rice's responses demonstrate once and for all that we need aggressive oversight over this out of control Administration. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has ignored the constitutional right of Congress to provide such oversight. It is time Congress took aggressive action to assert our rights on behalf of the American people. The House of Representatives must immediately hold former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten in contempt of Congress for their failure to respond to congressional subpoenas. I have been aggressively lobbying Members of Congress to support a vote on contempt, and I am thrilled to report that Speaker Pelosi told me directly that she agrees it is well past time to vote on contempt. I am anticipating that the House will shortly vote on resolutions of both civil and criminal contempt for both Miers and Bolten. No one should be immune from accountability and the rule of law. Not Harriet Miers or Josh Bolten. And especially not Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush or Dick Cheney. It is time to defend the Constitution and our rights as a co-equal branch of government. I will continue to take on the Bush Administration for their outrageous abuses just as I confronted Condoleezza Rice today and Attorney General Mukasey last week. (Click here to see my questioning of Mukasey.) With your help we will hold these top Bush officials in contempt and continue our efforts to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney. Thank you, as always, for your great support. Yours truly, Congressman Robert Wexler February 12 IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS =PLEASE HELP=
Conyers Considers Cheney Impeachment Hearings
None of this was new, but perhaps it touched something in Conyers that had not been touched before. Following the hearing, he and two staffers met for over an hour with two members of Code Pink and discussed activism and impeachment, including Congressman Robert Wexler's proposal to begin impeachment hearings on Cheney. Conyers expressed his concerns about what might happen following an impeachment, the danger of installing a Bush replacement or losing an election. But he said he's listening to several advocates for impeachment, including Liz Holtzman and David Swanson of Democrats.com. He hinted he could be swayed by a convincing argument, leaning out of his chair for dramatic effect. So let's help Chairman John Conyers decide! We know Conyers agrees with all of us on the legal grounds for impeachment because he made this case himself in his 2006 book, "The Constitution in Crisis." Where Conyers needs persuasion is on the politics of impeachment, so we have addressed his concerns here: We'd like you to email Conyers (and other Judiciary Committee Democrats) with the link above, but please don't stop there. 1. Call his office at 202-225-5126 and say you would like him to begin Cheney impeachment hearings immediately. Tell him the hearings must be on impeachment because that's the only way to force the White House to comply with Congressional subpoenas. The phone in his office was reportedly ringing once every second, 60 times per minute, all day long on Monday. Let's ring it faster on Tuesday. 2. Print our petition 3. Urge your Representative and Senators to sign onto Congressman Robert Wexler's letter to Conyers (which he plans to deliver on Friday) here: We know we're asking a lot, but we're not alone - our friends from Code Pink are fasting for impeachment and meeting with Conyers on Tuesday to discuss opening Cheney impeachment hearings.

______________ International Days of Action Against Iraq Oil Law on February 22-23 Why did Bush and Cheney concoct WMD lies to scare Congress into authorizing an invasion of Iraq? After five years, it's clear the only reason was to steal Iraq's oil. US Labor Against the War, United for Peace and Justice, Oil Change International, and UK's Hands Off Iraqi Oil, are working to expose the concerted efforts by the Bush-Cheney administration and the major international oil companies to force passage of an oil law in the Iraqi Parliament. This oil law would strip the Iraqi people of their constitutional right to control their biggest natural resource: oil. Details on Facebook (login required): You can host a local action at your ExxonMobil, Shell, or BP station, or participate in a march in Washington, DC this Friday. If you need help and resources to host a local event email info@priceofoil.org For more information about the Iraqi oil law visit http://priceofoil.org and http://www.USLaborAgainstWar.org ______________
March 19 is the 5th Anniversary of Bush's invasion of Iraq. Start planning your local and national actions to demand peace and impeachment in March 2008 here:

On Thursday, Chairman John Conyers' House Judiciary Committee held a hearing at which Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that he would not investigate torture or warrantless spying, he would not enforce contempt citations, and he would treat Justice Department opinions as providing immunity for crimes.
