Reed31463
I say we up the pressure and put in a few State Impeachment Proclamations for Gonzales to remind Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) of what he said on Tuesday.
Which State will be first to get an Impeachment Proclamation to the House Floor for AG Gonzales?
Below is a sample copy of a State Impeachment Proclamation.
Whereas House Rules 603 permits state proclamations calling for Congress to investigate and impeach federal officials who violate their oath of office and commit felonies;
Whereas the State of Florida invoked House Rule 603 was invoked in 1903 against Federal District Court Judge Charles Swayne which Congress voted to investigate and was subsequently impeached;
Whereas the Citizens of the States of Vermont, Illinois, and California have submitted to their respective state legislatures and assemblies bills and proclamations calling for the US Congress to impeach the President and Vice President of the Untied States
Whereas the Constitution remains the supreme law of the land and there exists no national emergency to permit any conduct to abrogate, ignore, or invalidate any clearly promulgated statute;
Whereas the Vice President, then Representative Richard Cheney (R-WY) Ranking Republican on the House Select Committee investigating the illegal Iran-Contra affair, on 5 May 1987 said, “What’s needed, Mr. Chairman, is a calm, objective weighing of the evidence to be presented. Once the Evidence is in, we will have the opportunity to draw conclusions and to make recommendations to the House and Senate.”
Whereas the United States Congress refuses to take action to timely protect the US Constitution from domestic enemies., raising serious questions as to their commitment to their 5 USC 3331 oath of obligation to protect this Constitution;
The State Legislature/Assembly of ___(enter State name)___ calls on the United States Congress to vote to investigate, and if warranted bring charges of impeachment, for the following alleged acts by the President’s Attorney General, Alberto Gonzalez:
Unconstitutionally directing members of the Executive Branch to violate the precedents for gathering information from Congress;

Obstruction of Justice over the Department of Justice Office of Professional investigation into the unconstitutional NSA domestic wiretapping activities, which violate the clearly promulgated Constitution and FISA statutes;
Illegally invoking “state secrets” and “state privilege” to thwart, prevent, and obstruct a lawful investigation into his personal conduct as Attorney General

Making false statements to Congress during sworn testimony on issues related to the unlawful NSA domestic activities;
Falsely claiming to Congress that there were emergency circumstances to illegally circumvent the warrant requirements, when he knew there were no bonafide exceptions to the warrant requirements to circumvent the US laws and Constitution of the United States;

Unlawfully threatening members of his legal staff with unlawful retribution and retaliation when they provide evidence of his misconduct to the United States Congress;

We the State (choose: Legislature/Assembly) of the State of ___(enter your state) _____, call on Members of Congress to immediately vote to investigate and bring articles of impeachment against the United States Attorney General, Alberto Gonzalez.
