From: John F. Bradach, Sr.
Below is an Impeachment Resolution I presented to the State Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Oregon, which was passed. I am very pleased. My nephew Marine Corporal Travis Bradach-Nall was killed in an explosion at Karbal, Iraq on July 2, 2003, the day George W. Bush said, "Bring them on!"
RESOLUTION NO. 2007 – 777
A RESOLUTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON
WHEREAS, the Democratic Party of the State of Oregon passed a resolution calling for impeachment proceedings against the current Bush Administration on the 16th day of July, 2005, as Resolution No. 2005-0009, which Resolution is attached and incorporated herein, and
Whereas, Congress, under the control of the Republicans, took no action to investigate the potential for impeachment arising out of the events preceding the invasion of Iraq by the United States of America; and
Whereas, the bipartisan commissions which looked into the attacks of September 11, 2001 (“the 9/11 Commission”) and the War in Iraq (“the Iraq Study Group”) each declined to extend their respective inquiries into the precursor events and responsibility for the Iraq War; and
Whereas, Congress under the control of the Democrats has yet to begin effective inquiry into possible impeachment; and
Whereas, the President and Vice President have each been fully and directly engaged in the policies and actions of their Administration;
Whereas, many Members of the House of Representatives, of both parties, debating the Iraq War and the February 16, 2007 Resolution against the Bush Administration’s “troop surge”, argued facts which, if true, constitute high crimes and misdemeanors in office, by both the President and Vice President, (in particular, that critical intelligence presented to Congress and the United Nations was manipulated and falsified, not erroneous); and
Whereas, the cost of the War in Iraq is approaching $400 Billion, and
Whereas, the President and Vice President have demonstrated complete unwillingness to heed the November 2006 vote of the American people, or the advice of the Iraq Study Group Report issued that same month, with regard to continued prosecution of the Iraq War; and
Whereas, Marine Corporal Travis Bradach-Nall and the other members of the military from Oregon who have died in Iraq since the invasion, and the over 3190 American soldiers, marines sailors and coast guards who have died in Iraq, are all still dead; and
Whereas, all of their friends and members of their families have been irreparably harmed and are continuously hurting from their loss, and
Whereas, absent some process to effectively assess and enforce responsibility and accountability for the Bush Administration’s acts, omissions and misrepresentations to justify and launch the War in Iraq, the number of dead, and of injured family members will only increase, exponentially:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON RESOLVES, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Democratic Party of the State of Oregon supports immediate investigative hearings before appropriate Congressional committees into the Bush Administration’s misrepresentations to Congress the American people and the United Nations, which induced the Act of Congress (PL 107-243, October 16, 2002), regarding the use of force against Iraq; and
Section 2. The Democratic Party of the State of Oregon supports the commencement of impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors in the processes and propaganda which preceded the invasion of Iraq by the United States of America.
ADOPTED by the Democratic Party of Oregon on this 10th day of March, 2007.
