As we write this, Congressman Dennis Kucinich is introducing a 35 Separate articles of Impeachment against sitting President George W. Bush. The campaign of Paul Richmond supports this and asks that other members of Congress join in supporting this.
Impeachment is something that has long been supported by the majority of citizens in this country.[i] Even members of past Republican presidential administrators are calling for the Impeachment of this administration. There is no lack of evidence that this administration is worthy impeachment. Before taking control of both houses of Congress, the Democrats had gathered extensive documentation that the current Bush administration has broken the law repeatedly.[ii]
Richmond dismissed arguments that there wasn’t enough time. “The impeachment of Clinton took four months. Once it gathered momentum, it took five months to press Nixon to resign. Prior to the start of these five months as many Republican representatives “supported” President Nixon as now “support” this administration. The most famous question that brought Nixon down, “what did the President know and when did he know it,” was asked by Howard Baker (R. Tenn.) who began as one of these supporters,”[iii] said Congressional Candidate, Richmond
The Bush and Cheney administration needs to be held accountable for what it has done to this country, before it, or a future administration does even worse. As the U.S. Supreme Court has noted, the process to do this is Impeachment.[iv]
Paul Richmond is a candidate for Congress in Washington’s Sixth District. He is a Democrat challenging incumbent Norm Dicks.
