House of Representatives

Yesterday the House voted 238 yea to 180 nay to move forward with impeachment hearings against President Bush.  9 Republicans broke ranks the party to put country first, voting to send Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s article of impeachment HR 1345 to the Judiciary, where Chairman John Conyers will hold a hearings on abuses of power by the Bush administration.  Ten Republicans abstained in this crucial juncture, while only 5 Democrats did.

Those Republicans are:

Congressman Kevin Brady (TX)
Congressman Wayne Gilchrest  (MD)
Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC)
Representative Don Manzullo (IL)
U.S. Congressman Tim Murphy(PA)
Congressman Ron Paul (TX)
Congressman Dave Reichert (WA)
Congressman Christopher Shays (CT)
Representative Mike Turner (OH)

Of those Republican, Walter Jones, represents Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, which is one of the largest Marine bases in the country.  It also happens to be one that has made great sacrifices in the Iraq War.

Chairman John Conyers Jr. said he will hold a broad hearing on the general topic of abuses of power by the Bush administration.

“There’s never been one [hearing] that accumulated all the things that constitute an imperial presidency,” Conyers said, explaining that the anticipated hearing would review over a year of committee inquiry into such matters as the firing of U.S. attorneys, the leak of the identity of former CIA operative Valerie Plame and the information provided to Congress in the run-up to the Iraq War.

There was little or no mention of this in mainstream media so here is a way to easily send a letter to the editor of you local paper.
