the censure by Congress of George Bush and Dick
Cheney;

WHEREAS, it is now apparent that not only is this

corrupt;

WHEREAS, George Bush, Dick Cheney and others in this
Administration have expressed their contempt for the
rule of law and shown disdain for the rights secured
to all men and women under the Constitution;

WHEREAS, there is now credible evidence of high crimes
and misdemeanors at the highest levels of the
Administration;

WHEREAS, the keys to effective democracy are respect

committed by members of this Administration and
institute criminal proceedings were appropriate; and

whether impeachable offenses have been committed by
George Bush and Dick Cheney and, in the affirmative,
to begin impeachment proceedings against George Bush
and Dick Cheney immediately.
