Wars and conflicts International Governments USA

Members of Gold Star Families for Peace will be meeting with members of Congress on 15 June, 2005 to demand that each individual member act in accordance with his/her conscience, integrity, courage and duty as employees of America sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and abide by its contents.

GSFP believes that the so-called Downing Street Memo is the "smoking gun" proof that is a validation of the fact that the invasion/occupation of Iraq is based on deceit and prefabricated intelligence. We believe that lying to Congress and the American people is traitorous and constitutes "high crimes and misdemeanors" and are impeachable offenses.

We will be calling on members of the House of Representatives to begin a Resolution of Inquiry into the memo as first step to introducing Articles of Impeachment against George Bush, Dick Cheney and everyone in the Cabinet who also lied. It is not only the House’s obligation and duty as sworn elected officials to do so, it is also their responsibilities as members of humanity. GSFP members have had valuable, loved and indispensable loved ones murdered for the deceits of this Executive Branch of our government.

GSFP believes that our loved ones have died needlessly, senselessly, and avoidably in the aggression against Iraq. We would like to see someone held accountable for the irresponsible deaths of American forces as well as tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens.

GSFP will be holding a press-conference before we visit Congress in the morning on June 15th. Time and place TBA. Pleace call contact for more info.

  • Good luck to you. Somehow, I believe that the consciounces of the Members of Congress have been lost or sold.

    • Oops. Sorry about the spelling. That should be consciences.

    • Push hard on members of Congress. You have enormous support. If a poll were taken today, I would estimate that at least 40% of the American pubic would consider impeachment hearings a reasonable course of action (depending on how the question was presents of course).

      It’s time to step up the offensive, epecially on the John Bolton nomination. All of his misdeeds must be brought to light. He was part of the "fixing" of intelligence that led us into war. Not only should Bolton not be approved to head the UN delegation, he should probably be tried for his own high crimes and misdemeanors.

  • this is how the viet nam war was ended ... it wasn’t "us" students in the streets, it was when our parents and their generation got out there in mass that the "voice" was heard and acted upon ... at that point, "we" the earlies out in the streets weren’t wanted at meetings ... we looked to "scruffy" ... but it didn’t matter, what mattered was we had gotten them out there and ... we are at that point again , the reason the massive street demo’s aren’t happening in the same way, is the internet ... this is a massive mobilization and the GSFP will take it to the top ...

    thanks for getting the truth in time and acting on it !

  • Demand all you want... It Ain’t Gonna Happen...

    As a partial aside, Iraq is not Vietnam... It is sad to see American [et al] repeating this banner...

    At most Vietnam was fought for the cola bean and other farm/plantation related economic reasons... Hardly as valuable as oil; and that is to magnify, oil in the year 2005 and beyond.

    People do a great deal of injustice when equating Iraq with Vietnam. Injustice for the then and now troops. Injustice towards understanding of knowledge and belief. Injustice towards resolutions of conflicts and injustice towards the peoples of Iraq.

    But what more can be expected from the American masses when they have never given a more true and real picture of the world.

  • I only have a problem with the 25 million iraqis who are free of a tyrant and a regime. do we return saddam to power and say alls well that ends well?

  • YES ITS FINALLY HAPPENING. conyers is getting tons of signatures. Thank you !! and Thank You Gold Star Families for Peace!!!

  • When are you going to indict Ted Kennedy for manslaughter of Mary Jo Kopeckney? When are you going to indict Bill Clinton for the murder of Ron Brown and others? When are you going to indict Sandy Burger for theft of classified documents from the National Archives? When are you going to stop electing a KKK Klansman for Senator in West Virginia. When are you going to realize America doesn’t want you pathetic liberal losers. You can get rid of Bush but you won’t get rid of Republicans, another will follow, and another and another after that. You’ll be luckey to be elected in perhaps 20 years. All Bush supporters welcome an investigation. This may be a can of worms you wish you hadn’t opened, just like Dan Rather. God Bless President Bush and may God protect him from the insane far left agenda.
