>A message from Ramsey Clark:
>IMPEACHMENT MORE URGENT THAN EVER
>
>Dear VoteToImpeach / ImpeachBush.org Members,
>
>We are urging all of those who are part of the impeachment movement 
>to participate and bring the message of impeachment with signs and 
>banners to the hundreds of local demonstrations that will be taking 
>place on March 19/20, the second anniversary of the beginning of the 
>criminal war against Iraq.
>
>Between March 19 and April 3, Congressional representatives are 
>scheduled to be back in their home district. It has never been more 
>important for all people of conscience to hold demonstrations and 
>rallies, and to lobby those representatives in their home districts 
>during the March 19 - April 3 period. We are certain that 
>impeachment activists from around the country will join us in 
>organizing activities in the March 19 - April 3 period. Please 
>notify the VoteToImpeach / ImpeachBush.org campaign about your local 
>activity, and send in a report and photos, to 
><mailto:ImpeachBush at VotetoImpeach.org>ImpeachBush at VotetoImpeach.org.
>
>The duty of the American People to compel the Impeachment of George 
>W. Bush and his principal aides becomes ever more urgent as his 
>mounting crimes take more lives daily, and threaten irreparable 
>injury to Constitutional government, irreconcilable division within 
>the nation and isolation of the U.S. in the community of nations.
>
>Two years after the commencement of his War of Aggression, judged to 
>be the "Supreme International Crime" at Nuremberg, the flow of blood 
>in Iraq continues to rise and the threat of death is omnipresent.
>
>The criminal policies of the Bush Administration which violate 
>fundamental human rights are etched in memory worldwide in names 
>like:
>
>Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo as symbols of torture;
>Falluja and Najaf as symbols of the indiscriminate destruction of 
>civilian life;
>Nicola Calipari, the Italian officer killed shielding the Italian 
>reporter, Giuliana Sgrena, with his body, and scores of Iraqi 
>families gunned down on highways as symbols of summary execution;
>Unknown numbers of persons seized in the U.S., Canada, anywhere in 
>the world and victimized by "Rendition" to abuse by foreign police 
>as symbols of kidnapping.
>A year after democratically elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide 
>of Haiti was told by President Bush he "has to go" and was forced on 
>to a U.S. plane and flown to Central African Republic, violence 
>continues to grow in Haiti and deaths rise into the thousands as 
>Aristide supporters are systematically targeted and no relief is in 
>sight for the people of Haiti.
>
>Today President Bush threatens Iran ("all options" are available), 
>North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela, among others. He tells Syria it 
>must completely withdraw its troops from Lebanon even as 500,000 
>Lebanese, 12 percent of the entire population, take to the streets 
>to protest U.S. intervention and a pro-Syrian Lebanese leader is 
>reelected Prime Minister by the Parliament of Lebanon, which fears a 
>U.S.-Israel occupation and wants Syria to stay and maintain 
>stability finally established after years of Civil War and bedlam.
>
>For those who doubt President Bush's determination to continue his 
>criminal enterprise consider only his three most important recent 
>appointments: John Negroponte as director for all foreign 
>intelligence where he can control information about foreign weapons 
>of mass destruction and terrorist threats to the U.S.; John Bolton 
>as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to assure U.S. commitment 
>to unilateral aggression and weaken UN opposition to U.S. 
>aggression; and Alberto Gonzalez as Attorney General to validate 
>violations of international human rights, the rule of law and the 
>Constitution of the United States.
>
>In his determination to be above all law, President Bush insists on 
>U.S. power to continue violations of fundamental human rights in his 
>war on terrorism; to violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by 
>developing a new generation of extremely dangerous and usable 
>tactical nuclear weapons while threatening to attack Iran, North 
>Korea and others based on unverified claims that they are developing 
>nuclear weapons; by direct obstruction of justice through bilateral 
>agreements to refuse cooperation with the International Criminal 
>Court; and by the U.S. withdrawal in March 2005 from International 
>Court of Justice jurisdiction following a decision by that Court 
>that State Courts in the U.S. must individually review the death 
>sentences of 51 Mexican citizens following trials in which the U.S. 
>violated rights of the accused under the Vienna Convention on 
>Consular Relations.
>
>The continuing boastful commitment of the Bush Administration to 
>criminal aggression is a clear and present danger to the 
>Constitution of the United States and the security of its peoples. 
>The highest duty of the American people is to demand faithful 
>performance of Constitutional duty by their elected representatives 
>to assure that they uphold Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution 
>which states "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers 
>of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment 
>for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and 
>Misdemeanors."
>
>We must organize and act for the impeachment of George W. Bush and 
>his principal aides by the House of Representatives and their trial 
>by the Senate.
>
>Vote to Impeach Now. Contribute to this national campaign. Organize 
>meetings with your representative and present petitions from voters 
>in your Congressional District demanding impeachment.
>
>Action Now is Essential.
