Another Urgent Reason to Impeach George Bush
Long before George Bush approved the sale of U.S. port contracts to a company owned by the government of the United Arab Emirates, a majority of Americans already supported Bush's impeachment:
- 52% of Americans [1] think Bush should be impeached for wiretapping Americans without a judge's approval
- 53% of Americans [2] think Bush should be impeached for lying about Iraq
Now we have one more urgent reason for impeachment: George Bush puts the profits of his foreign oil cronies ahead of the security of the United States.
UAE citizen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marwan_al-Shehhi [3] target=_blank>Marwan Al-Shehhi slammed Flight 175 into the World Trade Center. Eleven hijackers came through UAE, and half their money [4]. A.Q. Khan shipped nuclear parts through UAE to North Korea and Iran. UAE has never recognized Israel, but it was one of just 3 countries to recognize the Taliban government of Afghanistan.
Recently USA Today published an article entitled "Bin Laden's operatives still using freewheeling Dubai [5]." This is frighteningly similar to the August 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing that Bush ignored, entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US [6]." Will Bush's reckless neglect produce the same disastrous results in a year or two?
Yet despite citizen outrage from coast to coast, Bush wants to veto any law to stop UAE from operating 6 vital U.S. ports.
The port deal reflects all of the worst corruption of the Bush Administration:
- Bush had no idea the deal was under review by his top officials
- The deal was pushed by Treasury Secretary John Snow, the former CEO of CSX who sold his port operations to - you guessed it - Dubai World Ports!
- The deal was approved by Michael Chertoff, the utterly incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security

ImpeachPAC is a non-profit, nation-wide political action committee that is working tirelessly to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney immediately.
And we're making a difference! When we launched in November 2005, no one in Washington would say "impeachment" out loud. Now everyone is talking about impeachment [8] - and ImpeachPAC is leading the way [9]!
Here is our strategy for impeachment:
- Send 1 million email petitions to our Senators and Representatives in Congress urging them to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney now. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! [10]
- Raise $100,000 for passionately patriotic candidates who will impeach Bush and Cheney - like Tony Trupiano in Michigan [11] (right) and Chris Owens in New York [12].
- Organize peaceful grassroots protests [13] every weekend near the homes of all 435 Members of Congress
- Organize pro-impeachment town hall meetings all around the country - starting with over 150 events on January 7, 2006 [14], including this Seattle [15] event with Rep. Jim McDermott.
- Create a powerful Citizens Impeachment Commission [16] of prominent legal scholars, historians, elected officials, business leaders, celebrities, activists, talk show hosts, and bloggers.
- Appear on TV shows like The O'Reilly Factor [17] to convince conservative voters that Bush and Cheney need to be impeached.
We invite you to contribute $5, $15, $25, $50, $100 - or whatever you feel you can afford to help us impeach Bush and Cheney now.
Your contribution will help us reach millions of Americans and hasten the day when we send Bush and Cheney back to Texas where they cannot do America any more harm!!
