Whereas, in the conduct of their offices, President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, in violation of their constitutional oaths to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” and to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” have committed any or all of the following “high Crimes and Misdemeanors”(Article II, Section 4):

I. WARRANTLESS SEARCHES: ordering the National Security Agency to conduct secret, warrantless searches and seizures of the private personal communications of American citizens, without oversight by the legislative or judicial branches of the government, in violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of the Congress (FISA 1978);

III. INDEFINITE DETENTION: depriving both American citizens and non-citizens of their constitutionally guaranteed rights regarding unjust imprisonment and speedy and public trial, in violation of their rights to guaranteed liberty and due process of law in the 5th and 6th Amendments;

IV. WAR OF AGGRESSION: launching an illegal, unjust, and undeclared war against the sovereign state of Iraq, in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and Chapters 1, 6, and 7 of the Charter of the United Nations (1945);

V. USE OF ILLEGAL WEAPONS: authorizing the use of illegal chemical and radioactive weapons in military campaigns, notably white phosphorous and depleted uranium in Iraq, in violation of the United Nations‚ Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), U.S. Army Regulation AR 700-48;

VII. ATTACKING CIVILIANS: authorizing, ordering, and condoning direct military attacks on civilians and civilian homes and communities, thereby causing massive death, maiming, and destruction in Iraq, in violation of Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and

VIII. VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES: violating and unilaterally abrogating lawful signatory treaties, such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (1972) between the United States and Russia, the Treaty of Rome (1950) establishing the International Criminal Court, and the Geneva Conventions providing for humane treatment of combatants and civilians, in violation of Article VI of the Constitution acknowledging these treaties to be “the Supreme Law of the Land.”

IX. TREASON: betraying and identifying a CIA agent and the operational cover by White House officials caused significant damage to U.S. national security thereby giving aid and comfort to the enemy in violation of USC Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 37 § 793 , § 794, and the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.

Therefore, the Green Party of Nevada County demands the impeachment and consequent removal from office of the four aforementioned officials.

Pink need your help to acquire visas for six Iraqi women who want to
tell you their stories. Two women were denied visas because they
had no family to return to, making them an immigration risk, this after
their husbands were killed by allied forces. Other action is also needed.
