I urge you to contact your local print media asking that they print the text

of the Downing Street Memo.

Currently, American citizens can't easily read the Downing Street Memo unless

they have internet access. As a result, people don't know what to think about

it. This is an explosive document that our corporate media is, basically,

burying. For example, the Seattle Times first told me there were " copyright

issues " (which is a lie) and then said " No one has come up with anything new on

the

issue " which may be true, but only because the media hasn't printed the memo.

Dear Friend:

As many of you are aware, a classified memo was recently disclosed in Great

Britain that I believe has serious ramifications for the integrity of the

United States Government. Dubbed the " Downing Street Memo, " but actually

comprising

the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British

government officials, the memo casts serious doubt on many of the contentions

of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq war. With over 1,600

U.S. servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of

thousands of Iraqis, and over $200 billion in taxpayer funds going to this war

effort, we cannot afford to stand by any longer.

Along with 88 of my colleagues, I wrote to the President requesting answers

about this grave matter. Thus far, our search for the truth has been

stonewalled and I need your help. I believe the American people deserve answers

about

this matter and should demand directly that the President tell the truth about

the memo. To that end, I am asking you to sign on to a letter to the

President requesting he answer the questions posed to him by 89 Members of

Congress.

589-3C8B797C5FE1

I will personally insure that this letter is delivered to the White House.

You can read the letter here and sign on to it below. You and I know the

White House is just hoping that this matter will fade away, but in a few short

weeks, with our steadfastness, the memo has found its way into leading

newspapers and White House press briefings. With your help, we can hold this

Administration accountable.

Please pass on this important letter to your friends and colleagues, and ask

them to sign as well.

Thank you for your help and support.

John Conyers, Jr.

Letter to President Bush Concerning the Downing Street Minutes

Sorry if you got this yesterday, but I got a notice that it wasn't

delivered, so I'm trying again.

Breaking News : Kerry To Push For Bush Impeachment

Posted by News Reporter on 2005/6/3 10:29:52

By Sher Zieve

 

John Kerry announced Thursday that he intends to present Congress with The

Downing Street Memo, reported by the London Times 1 May 2005. As reported by

NewsMax, the memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Blair, in which Blair ostensibly said that President Bush’s Administration “

fixed†intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war. In an interview

with the Standard Times, Kerry said: " It's amazing to me the way it escaped

major media discussion. It's not being missed on the Internet, I can tell you

that. "

 

The Boston Globe published an article by Ralph Nader, Tuesday, in which Nader

also called for President Bush’s impeachment. The story is being carried on

Michael Moore’s website and the Democratic Underground. Failed presidential

candidate Kerry advised that he will begin the presentation of his case for

President Bush’s impeachment to Congress, on Monday.

" C reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift

in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove

Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism

and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The

NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing

material on the Iraqi regime's record. There was little discussion in Washington

of

the aftermath after military action. "

" It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even

if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not

threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya,

North Korea or Iran. We should work up a plan for an ultimatum to Saddam to

allow back in the UN weapons inspectors. This would also help with the legal

justification for the use of force. "

The recent release of the Downing Street Memo provides new and compelling

evidence that the President of the United States has been actively engaged in

a

conspiracy to deceive and mislead the United States Congress and the American

people about the basis for going to war against Iraq. If true, such conduct

Constitution. And I do mean EVERY media outlet.

Administration's offenses impeachable

Thursday, June 02, 2005 - Bangor Daily News

Let's consider an item from the news of about two weeks ago:

 

A British citizen leaked a memo to London's Sunday Times. The memo was of the

written account of a meeting that a man named Richard Dearlove had with the

Bush administration in July 2002. Dearlove was the head of the England's MI-6,

the equivalent of the CIA. On July 23, 2002, Dearlove briefed Tony Blair about

the meeting. He said that Bush was determined to attack Iraq. He said that

Bush knew that U.S. intelligence had no evidence of weapons of mass destruction

in Iraq and no links to foreign terrorists, that there was no imminent danger

to the U.S. from Iraq. But, since Bush was determined to go to war,

" Intelligence and facts are being fixed around the policy. " " Fixed " means faked,

manufactured, conjured, hyped - the product of whole cloth fabrication.

 

So we got aluminum tubes, mushroom clouds imported from Niger, biological

weapons labs in weather trucks, fear and trembling, the phony ultimatums to

Saddam Hussein to turn over the weapons he didn't have and thus couldn't. We got

the call to arms, the stifling of dissent, the parade of retired generals

strategizing on the " news " shows, with us or against us, flags in the lapel, a

craven media afraid to look for a truth that might disturb their corporate

owners

who would profit from the war. Shock and Awe. Fallujah. Abu Ghraib.

 

It was all a lie. Many of us have said for a long time it was a lie. But here

it is in black and white: Lies from a president who has taken a sacred trust

to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

 

So, what does it mean? It means that our president and all of his

administration are war criminals. It's as simple as that. They lied to the

American

people, have killed and injured and traumatized thousands of American men and

women

doing their patriotic duty, killed at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians,

destroyed Iraq's infrastructure and poisoned its environment, squandered

billions and

billions of our tax dollars, made a mockery of American integrity in the

world, changed the course of history, tortured Iraqi prisoners, and bound us

intractably to an insane situation that they have no idea how to fix because

they

had no plan, but greed and empire, in the first place.

 

What does it mean? It means that everyone in this administration should be

impeached. It means that our Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins and our

Congressmen Tom Allen and Mike Michaud should call for immediate impeachment.

They were lied to by their president, voted for war, and are thus complicit

in the multiply betrayals of the American people unless they stand up now for

the truth.

 

Richard Nixon was impeached for a cover-up of a two-bit break-in. William

Cohen, a young Maine Republican, played an important role for the prosecution in

those proceedings. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about sex with an

intern. Now we have the irrefutable evidence that George W. Bush lied about the

reasons for taking the United States to war. The intelligence wasn't flawed. The

weapons weren't hidden. Our elected leaders were lying.

 

Democracy, like any sound relationship between people, is built on trust. We

trust our leaders to tell the truth so that the consent that we give them is

honestly informed. If the consent is won through manipulation, propaganda,

fear, or lies, the basis of our democracy has been subverted. It is no longer

democracy at all, but we continue to call it that because we have not the

courage

or stamina to demand its overhaul.

 

We live a lie when we fail to hold leaders accountable for their lies. By not

calling now for impeachment, we are saying that we condone hypocrisy,

pseudo-democracy, and murdering thousands of Americans and Iraqis for strategic

control of energy resources that we have no right to. Patriotism demands that we

insist on the ideals of democracy, not that we support the " leaders " who

cynically destroy them.

 

What's curious is why anyone like me should have to even point this out.

Don't our senators and congressmen feel betrayed? Are they content to continue

the

murdering rather than do what truth demands? Do they think they can lie to

history, too. Do they think that this little Iraq problem will somehow just go

away, that the courageous resistance to the United States occupation will give

up and hand Bush the keys to the oil wells? Do they think that any of the

grave crises facing the world now - energy consumption, global warming, species

extinction - can be solved by lying about them?

 

We are living in an age of no accountability. It's also an age upon which may

hang the survival of human life on this earth. One should not bet one's

future on people who abjure responsibility. The first courageous step is to come

to

terms with what we know is true: America's president lied to America's people

to create an unnecessary war. I ask Sens. Snowe and Collins, Reps. Allen and

Michaud to take that step. Begin impeachment proceedings. It's really no more

or less than their duty. It's also the first step toward restoring America's

integrity.

It would be wonderful, if there was a way that an individual could approve

the use of a single click, allowing for the sending of a post to over a

thousand newspapers, TV stations, etc., without having to send that post

thousands of times, a process that will certainly assure vastly less

participation.
