of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United
States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of
the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws

That articles of impeachment against Cheney have now been introduced in Congress, including in the face of Democrat Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s repeated declarations that “impeachment is off the table”, makes it all the more imperative that people get out in the streets to demand the the Bush administration be impeached for war crimes. Start this Saturday by joining with others across the country to spell out IMPEACH everywhere. Visit A28.org for more information on April 28 actions being planned across the country.
