"YOU can be on the Grand Jury to Impeach George W. Bush!"

Roger Fulton (email):

Have you fantasized about being on a jury that would hear evidence for the Impeachment of George W. Bush and members of his administration, but never thought you'd be lucky enough to have it happen? Well, friend...today is your lucky day! And it won't cost you even one thin dime!

On Saturday, June 23, well-known writer and speaker Elizabeth de la Vega, author of United States v. George W. Bush et al., will be on Vashon Island!

De la Vega is a former federal prosecutor with more than twenty years of experience. During her tenure, she was a member of the Organized Crime Strike Force and Chief of the San Jose Branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California. Her articles have appeared in The Nation, the Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, Salon.com, and Mother Jones. Since her retirement in 2004, de la Vega has been a regular contributor to TomDispatch.com. She is also a frequent guest on talk shows, including The Thom Hartmann Program, Democracy Now!, and The Colbert Report.

In her book, set as a presentation to a grand jury, de la Vega brings her experience and her passion for justice to the most important case of her career. The defendants are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell. The crime is deceiving the nation into war, or, in legal terms, conspiracy to defraud the United States in connection with pre-Iraq-invasion intelligence.

(Right about now you're probably thinking, "Yeah, yeah...blah, blah, blah...that's all great, but what about that jury? I WANT TO BE ON THAT DANG IMPEACHMENT JURY!!!" Calm down; I was just getting to that. Sheesh!)

UMO Ensemble, the world-renowned Vashon-Island-based physical theater company, will present a staged reading of short selections from de la Vega's book. They invite everyone to come and get a chance to be on the jury! The Backbone Campaign's Chain Gang puppets will also be on hand to welcome attendees.

This FREE event is open to the public. It begins at 7:00 PM at Courthouse Square; doors open at 6:30. Participating groups: The Vashon-Maury Island Green Party, the Vashon Democratic Club, UMO Ensemble, and the Backbone Campaign.

By the way, if you're one of those who agrees with Nancy " Impeachment is Off the Table!" Pelosi, consider this:
"Thirteen state Democratic parties have now passed resolutions demanding impeachment, nine of them since Nancy Pelosi ordered the Democratic Party away from impeachment." --see entire article here: www.democrats.com/node/12924
One of those 13 was the Washington State Democratic Central Committee, which passed the resolution titled "Impeach President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney" at its 9/30/06 meeting in Tacoma; see it here (PDF file): http://tinyurl.com/29vpvw

Also, consider this line of reasoning:

• Do you want the U.S. occupation of Iraq to end before the Bush Administration is scheduled to leave in January 2009?
• If so: Then do you really believe there is any way that Bush/Cheney is going to end the occupation before their term is up in January 2009?
• If not: THEN WHAT OTHER SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE TO ACHIEVE THE END OF THE OCCUPATION OTHER THAN IMPEACHMENT?!?!

"[A day when there will be no more American forces in Iraq] will be decided by future Presidents and future governments of Iraq." ~GWB, 3/21/06
