TVNL Editor's Comments: I Called My Congressperson Today in Support of Cheney's Impeachment

While I do not fool myself into thinking calling a Congressperson has any impact on the agenda of a given Congress person, I felt compelled to express my feelings today. I called my rep to tell them that I wanted my rep to support the articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney that were filed by Dennis Kucinich yesterday. I also took the time to say that I am stunned that Congress has not impeached this administration based on the mountain of evidence of inside complicity into the events of 9/11. I enlightened the person who took my call by explaining a few facts about the event and I suggested that he start looking into it on his own.

I know my call had no effect but I felt good after I made the call. And while I am not one of those gate keeping sheep herding organizations that mobilize activists by asking them to spend their time and money doing things that will have no impact on change, I think a call supporting impeachment may be worth the few minutes it would take. You can easily find the number of your representative by going here: http://congress.org/stickers/?dir=congressorg&officials=1

I can not for the life of me think of a more sinister figure in American political history. Cheney even makes Kissenger look like a child. While an arrest and trial on multiple, oh multiple charges are in order, I would settle for an impeachment simply to stop some of the insanity.

While I am no fool and I don't believe this will go anywhere I think a call of support for Cheney's impeachment is worth a few wasted minutes. Think about it. - Jesse –Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

The revelation once again casts further doubt on the president's assertion that the Army will run out of funding this month for US troops fighting in those regions, according to a report issued by the nonpartisan research arm of Congress.

George McGovern: Cheney is wrong about me, wrong about war - It is my firm belief that the Cheney-Bush team has committed offenses that are worse than those that drove Nixon, Vice President Spiro Agnew and Atty. Gen. John Mitchell from office after 1972. Indeed, as their repeated violations of the Constitution and federal statutes, as well as their repudiation of international law, come under increased consideration, I expect to see Cheney and Bush forced to resign their offices before 2008 is over.

HEALTH & SCIENCE : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#health

FDA WANTS TO ELIMINATE NATURAL HEALTH CARE - The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has launched another sneak-attack, trying to regulate your health freedom into oblivion.

This is a crisis, and needs your immediate action.

US HEALTH FREEDOM ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE - Unbelievably, the bill turns the FDA into a drug development company that will expose Americans to new and dangerous biological drugs that have little testing to prove safety or effectiveness.
