*Bush's Wiretaps: Impeachment not Immunity
*

Two years ago, the NY Times revealed George Bush has been illegally
wiretapping our phones and emails for years. Bush publicly admitted
signing the authorizations for illegal wiretaps over 30 times.

Bush's warrantless wiretaps are a flagrant violation of the Fourth
Amendment. And under the 1978 FISA law, the penalty for *each *of Bush's
illegal wiretaps is up to $10,000 and 5 years in prison. Bush may have
wiretapped *millions *of Americans, so he should not only be impeached,
but he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Incredibly, "Bush Dog" Democrats led by House Majority Steny Hoyer not
only refuse to impeach Bush - they want to *immunize *Bush and his
co-conspirators, the telephone giants, so they never pay a penny or
spend a day behind bars for their crimes.

*Congress needs to hear from all of us today *. Email your
Representatives to demand impeachment, not immunity:

If you have time, call your Representative and Senators at 202-225-3121
and politely express your outrage and your demand for impeachment, not
immunity, for Bush's illegal wiretapping.

*Speaker Pelosi, Here is the Proof You Requested *

On Tuesday's Ed Schultz Show, Nancy Pelosi struggled to explain why she
opposes impeaching Bush and Cheney. She said if anyone could prove Bush
committed impeachable offenses, they should contact her.

Of course violating the Fourth Amendment and FISA is impeachable, and
it's proved by Bush's confession (see above). Rewriting laws with
signing statements is impeachable, and it's proved by the statements
posted on the White House website and by a GAO study finding that in
many cases Bush has proceeded to violate the laws he claims the right to
violate. Refusing to comply with subpoenas is impeachable, and there is
no dispute that Bush and Cheney have refused to comply.

The evidence collected at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/keydocuments
<http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/keydocuments>proves that Bush and
Cheney intentionally misled the nation into an illegal war of
aggression. Numerous victims prove the practice of torture.

In sum, here are 10 provable reasons to impeach Bush and Cheney that you
can send to Congress right now:

*10/27 National Mobilization to End the War in Iraq *

70% of Americans want to end the U.S. Occupation of Iraq, but Bush wants
to keep us there for decades - no matter how much it costs in U.S. or
Iraqi lives and treasure.

Regional events are planned in 11 locations around the country on
October 27th. Now is the time to start planning your busses, trains, and
car pools.

*11/9 Warmup for 12/7 National Caucus *

When it comes to choosing our Presidential candidates, why does Iowa
take priority over the rest of the country?

The National Presidential Caucus was created to give citizens *across
the country *- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents - a chance to
gather in small groups (up to 50 people) to discuss the candidates and
vote.

Of course this vote is informal and will not choose any delegates for
the convention. But it will get a lot of media coverage and will be a
lot more meaningful than the polls - particularly for longer-shot
candidates whose lower poll rankings reflects the Corporate Media's bias
against them.

The full Caucus will be held on Friday December 7, using Meetup-style
tools to help citizens connect. There will also be a Preliminary Straw
Poll & Caucus Warmup on Friday, November 9, 2007

Democrats.com is a co-sponsor of the National Presidential Caucus. For

*A New Kind of Shirt*

There are two ways to handle a criminal president, and we must in the
current case accomplish at least one of them, but preferably both. The
first is impeachment
<http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=taxonomy/term/17>. The second is
criminal prosecution
<http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=taxonomy/term/15>. One way you can
help make this happen, as well as receive compliments and cheers just
for walking by, is to buy
<http://www.wavelengthclothing.com/impeach_bush.html> and wear this new
shirt. Here are close ups of the front and back:
