Citizens for the Impeachment of George W. Bush

        "...they said they were in Puerto Vallarta on September 9 when they learned they would not be able to go home because the US Embassy said: either the storm that is brewing or because we have word that Osama Bin Laden may be hijacking airlines!"
                                                                            — Josh Salans

For desecrating the Office of President of the United States....    

• by allowing American citizens, and innocent citizens of other nations, to be put in harms way through negligence and flagrant disregard of human life.

• by undermining the Bill of Rights and attempting to rewrite Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States  — thereby showing an egregious disrespect for citizens, elected representatives, our posterity, and those who honorably fought and died to secure our hard won freedoms. ¹

• by systematically undermining the rules and principles of international law by planning and executing crimes against humanity, crimes against peace, and war crimes.

• by subverting humanity's chance for peace by pursuing policies that are likely to enflame the world's passions rather than heal its wounds, and leave in its wake new legions of enemies to fuel a perpetual war.

• by plundering and squandering our national wealth for the benefit of a few; causing economic decay among the various states; deviously shifting the burden of taxes from those who can afford to pay to those who cannot; depriving citizens of universal health care, better educational opportunities, and generally widening the gap between those who have more than their fair share and those who have much less.

• by betraying the Universal Declaration of Human Rights... those who signed it... those who hope for its universal acceptance... and those who still don't know what it says.

• by protecting, through deceit and deception, those who have committed  high crimes and misdemeanors.

• by trampling on the rights of others... causing death and destruction to citizens and non-citizens alike.

• by demonstrating wanton disrespect for the earth and its life support systems.

• by damaging the reputation of America and embarrassing its citizens through incompetence, arrogance, and moral insensitivity.

• by cheating Americans out of our right to know our own history, and thereby defrauding us of the opportunity to clean up our past so that we might build a more respectable future.

• by obstructing a full and fair investigation into all the circumstances surrounding the events of 9-11, thereby keeping Americans in the dark about what really happened, who is culpable, and why.

• by taking the oath of office knowing that the final results of the election were obtained only through fraud and deception and/or by not prosecuting those who were guilty of the fraud.

Code of Ethics

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

That it is the sense of Congress that the following Code of Ethics should be 
adhered to by all Government employees, including office holders:

Code of Ethics for Government Service

1. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above loyalty to Government persons, party, or department.

2. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion.

3. Give a full day's labor for a full day's pay; giving to the performance of his duties his earnest effort and best thought.

4. Seek to find and employ more efficient and economical ways of getting tasks accomplished.

5. Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not; and never accept for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of his governmental duties.

6. Make no private promises of any kind binding upon the duties of office, since a Government employee has no private word which can be binding on public duty.

7. Engage in no business with the Government, either directly or indirectly, which is inconsistent with the conscientious performance of his governmental duties.

8. Never use any information coming to him confidentially in the performance of governmental duties as a means for making private profit.

9. Expose corruption wherever discovered.

10. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is a public trust.

(Passed July 11, 1958.)

Who Are We

We are simply citizens... not an organization, but ordinary individuals who see that our Constitution and our country's reputation as a freedom loving people need to be defended... for the good of our fellow citizens, for our posterity, and for everyone on the planet who still dreams that one day their children will live in peace and freedom from want. 

We are anyone who is willing to stand up for freedom.
