Bush Dishonor Weakens American Way Of Life:
"... the Bush Constitutional record ... is, overwhelmingly, one of contempt for constitutional limits. In its official legal briefs and public actions, the Bush administration has advanced a view of federal power that is astonishingly broad ... It is a vision, in short, unimagined by our Constitution's Framers ... the oath of office ... was a solemn pledge, designed to bind the office holder to the country and the Constitution he serves.  Throughout his tenure, President Bush has repeatedly dishonored that pledge."

What Could Be Too Secret To Share?

None of the critics has anything to gain personally. Indeed, each has much to lose by speaking out against any aspect of the most vindictive presidential administration since the Nixon era ... When a presidential administration will not tolerate honorable, legal criticism from those who dedicated their lives to uniformed service, we should be far more worried about ideologues in power than about a few retired infantrymen on pensions."

The People's Impeachment Movement:
"What the people in the Los Angeles area can know, and soon the rest of the entire country, is that the move for impeachment is not just an isolated phenomenon, but that there is broad sentiment to finally challenge and confront George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for their repeated and egregious abuses of power. And there are candidates in multiple districts now working together who are all demonstrating the leadership that will be required ..."
