Read my latest story, "The All-Nighter", at 52|250.

I know that a lot of people believe the Representative Kucinich’s recent introduction of articles of impeachment came too late (though of course he has been working towards impeachment for a long time now). However, impeachment isn’t just about removing this individual war criminal from office; it’s about making a promise to ourselves and to the world that this will never happen again. It’s about showing future officeholders that we will not allow them to break our laws and murder many thousands of people. Moreover, even if impeachment were ultimately to fail, at least having the hearings would reveal the truth about what led to the occupation and slaughter in Iraq.

This is why impeachment still matters and this why I’m asking you to sign the official petition in support of impeachment. The majority of congresspeople will only get behind this effort if they believe that their constituents demand it. Most Democrats will only take dramatic action if they see it as a political necessity.
