HJC Hearing Sum-up Items

C-Span has video links on homepage to Panel 1 and Panel 2. Let's hope they also replay the events over television...

In this hearing we heard the case for impeachment from Kucinich, Wexler, Jackson-Lee, Johnson, Baldwin, Ellison, Hinchey, Holtzman, Anderson, Adams, and even Barr. We heard general support in that direction from Scott, Lofgren, and even Nadler (almost). And we heard Pence's and Franks' laughable and inculpating defenses along the lines of "Bush is not a crook." Not bad for the first day's work of the 110th Congress! Now, how about an impeachment hearing? We saw a lot of interest from committee members in the offense of signing statements, and also in the refusal to comply with subpoenas. Those are the issues that seem to have the most traction --and the least congressional complicity.

Find plenty more including hundreds of comments--one from Wexler--plenty of other leaders comment -- at least 1/2 dozen videos at After Downing Street dot org...
Go also to Anti-War, Veterans for Peace websites national and active states, Kucinich House campaign sites, Democracy Now! etc...

Listen out for the Veterans' Voices on Asheville's independent radio this Wednesday, archived for a week....

Let us know what you hear & read...
