A message from Former U.S.
Attorney General Ramsey Clark:
'Why indictment is a must.'
Dear Kenneth,
I am writing to you as a long-time supporter of the ImpeachBush
movement. More than a million people came forward to demand the
impeachment of Bush and other high-ranking officials in the Bush
administration.
I am appealing to you to make a donation to a growing new movement for
the indictment and prosecution of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl
Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales and other high officials of the
Bush administration who engaged in criminal wrongdoing.
Please
make an urgently needed donation today to help the IndictBush movement
grow by clicking this link.
The greatest danger arising from impunity for President Bush and his
cohorts would be that all subsequent officials will feel secure in
committing the same crimes and the people, having failed to compel
impeachment for such open, notorious and egregious crimes, will feel
even more helpless to prevent them. Ultimately the power and the
responsibility to prevent criminal acts by government is with the
people.
The movement for accountability is sweeping the country. The Chair of
the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, and the Chair of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy, are both proposing to launch
investigations into the possibilities of criminal conduct by high
officials in the Bush Administration.
Now is the time for massive outreach and publicity. This requires
organizing national call-in days to pressure Congressional
representatives, intensive media work, and providing literature for
people of conscience to distribute in cities and towns across the
country.
Please
consider taking a moment right now to make a donation to this new
movement for the indictment of Bush. There is no time to
spare. The time to act is now and we will.
The crimes of the Bush administration must be proclaimed, acknowledged
and remembered because their disastrous human consequences, dictatorial
tendencies, subversion of Constitutional government and violation of
the rights and dignity of humanity. They include wars of aggression,
the crime against peace and the "Supreme International Crime," war
crimes, and crimes against humanity, genocide by military violence
"with intent to destroy in whole, or in part, a national... or
religious group," authorizing and condoning massive violations of the
Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights and other
Amendments, international treaties including the U.N. Charter, Treaty
on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Convention Against Torture,
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Geneva
Conventions.
The clear duty of the American people and their elected representatives
-- on which the changes in U.S. government policies essential to
achieve a peaceful, decent and humane future depend -- is the vigorous
pursuit of the indictment of former President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, and other high officials who have participated in their crimes,
followed by rigorous criminal prosecution wherever the evidence, having
been fully and fairly presented to a federal grand jury, results in
their indictment.
The indictment of George W. Bush and other high officials is the
challenge facing 'We, the People.' Will we rise to meet it? This is not
a matter of politics or partisanship. It is the defense of the basic
tenets of the Constitution. Please
consider making a donation so we can get this movement off the ground
and into the streets.
Sincerely,
Ramsey Clark,
Former U.S. Attorney General
