Adam Sullivan Challenges Jerry Nadler for Congress!

Please visit Adam Sullivan’s website at www.sullivanforcongress.net and sign up
to help get the thousands of signatures needed between now and July 10th to put
him on the ballot to challenge Jerry Nadler who is blocking impeachment on the
Judiciary Committee despite the torture, murder, lying and spying that the Bush
administration is perpetrating on this country and the world.

The Democrats are largely sleepwalking as our Constitution is trampled to bits. 
Please help! 

There are groups of people going out together to get signatures on Manhattan’s
West Side and in parts of Brooklyn in Nadler’s 8th Congressional District.
Invite your friends, family and colleagues!  If each of you filled up one
petition, we could swamp the opposition with signatures, enough to avoid a
costly legal challenge, which the Nadler campaign will mount if we don’t get
thousands of signatures, although only 1250 valid signatures are required.

The Heinous Crimes of George W. Bush in 35 Articles of Impeachment

This was written jointly with Cheryl Abraham of World Can’t Wait, a great person
and writer!  It was published at Opednews.com and at the World Can’t Wait
website on June 10th.  History in the making! 

Monday, June 9, 2008 was an astoundingly historic night for the United States of
America. In the evening a mild mannered Congressman named Dennis Kucinich
(D-Ohio) took to the floor of the House of Representatives and began to read a
startling document, a document laying out 35 articles of impeachment against
George W. Bush.  

For five hours Congressman Kucinich read clearly and concisely each of the 35
counts against President Bush. Occasionally taking sips from a cup, Kucinich
didn’t falter, didn’t take a break, and didn’t seem to tire with the long
reading, in fact right up to the last article Kucinich, with unwavering passion,
said for the 35th time that evening:  

“In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in a
manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive
of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice
and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore,
President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense
warranting removal from office.”   

These 35 astounding, criminal, impeachable, and in many cases monstrous offenses
were spoken out loud for all to hear and watch on CSPAN.  So where was the rest
of the media, the supposed fourth estate? Where’s the in-depth public reporting
on this occasion? Where’s Nancy Pelosi who has said all along that impeachment
was “off the table” because she had seen no evidence for any criminal wrongdoing
by the president and if anyone had such evidence could they “please let her
know”. The evidence was read for the world to hear last night, it is now a
matter of public record, and it couldn’t be more obvious that George W. Bush has
committed an incredible amount of high crimes and misdemeanors.Two Articles That
Could be the Undoing of a President   

Let’s focus on 2 key articles presented yesterday. 

Article XIV states:  “Misprision of a Felony, Misuse and Exposure of Classified
Information And Obstruction of Justice in the Matter of Valerie Plame Wilson,
Clandestine Agent of the Central Intelligence Agency.” 

Article XVIII states:  “Torture:  Secretly Authorizing, and Encouraging the Use
of Torture Against Captives in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Other Places, as a Matter
of Official Policy.”   

Above all the other crimes committed by George Bush, these Articles could hold
the key to waking up the members of the House Judiciary Committee who have been
staunchly following the line of the House Speaker by not pursuing impeachment
investigations.

Interestingly enough, yesterday just a short time prior to Kucinich making his
historic presentation, the House Judiciary Committee, specifically John Conyers
(D-Illinois), and Jerrold Nadler (D-New York), officially “invited” Scott
McClellan to testify under oath, and be subject to perjury charges should he
lie, to be asked about the following matters: 

(1) What role did Bush, Cheney and key administration officials take in the
effort to reveal the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson – thus
destroying her network and putting lives in jeopardy? 

(2) What role did Bush, Cheney and key administration officials take regarding
the firing of U.S. Attorneys for political reasons? 

(3) What role did Bush, Cheney and key administration officials take in
conspiring to blatantly break U.S. and International laws prohibiting the use of
torture?  Congressman Robert Wexler (D-Florida), a co-sponsor of these articles
of impeachment, has been demanding that the Judiciary Committee subpoena
McClellan, as well as Rove, Rice and Powell.   

McClellan’s testimony in conjunction with what this resolution is presenting in
Articles XIV and XVII (see background information at
www.wexlerforcongress.com/news.asp?ItemID=255), could rip open a gaping hole in
this administration’s armor that will ultimately result in its destruction. Will
the media be silent then? Why aren’t these articles of impeachment making their
way right now into the public arena to assure that investigations into these
articles begin immediately? Former president Bill Clinton was investigated and
impeached in the House for perjury and obstruction of justice over lying about
an illicit sexual affair, and then later was cleared in the Senate of the
charges in only 21 days. There wasn’t a paper, tabloid, or TV station in this
country that didn’t cover every sordid detail of the investigation that led up
to those “high crimes and misdemeanors” – what is the explanation for the
echoing silence in the face of the astounding and mountainous amount of evidence
of the bloody crimes of George W. Bush? 

Why does Bush get a free ride in the media – a media that has so obviously
silenced this story, for such heinous crimes as torture, falsely leading a
nation to war, rendition, imprisoning children as young as ten years old, spying
on American citizens without a warrant, obliterating the Posse Comitatus act,
etc. What has changed in the media from non-stop coverage of the impeachment
proceedings of a president in 1999, to the resounding silence we hear in 2008?
Will our ‘leaders’ in D.C. take the reading of these charges seriously and begin
impeachment hearings now?  

John Conyers and others have said that impeachment hearings could or would
jeopardize Obama’s chances to win in the November election and therefore an
election win is of far more importance than protecting the rule of law and
bringing those who’ve committed unprecedented and historical harm to our nation
and the world to justice. 

It is now up to the people of conscience to not let the historical significance
of June 9, 2008 go unheard and unacknowledged! We must openly and publicly thank
Kucinich, and Wexler, for their courage and for bravely and succinctly putting
forth all the crimes of George W. Bush.  We must take it upon ourselves to hound
and haunt Conyers and Nadler to listen to us. 

The people must do their utmost to spread this information as quickly as
possible to everyone they know.  Contact the media and hold them accountable for
their silence and complicity in the face of the enormous evidence of the high
crimes and misdemeanors committed on such a massive scale by the Bush regime. 
We must, in our millions, demand that the time for impeachment is long overdue. 
 


We must make a firm commitment to Drive Out the Bush Regime, because we and the
world really can’t wait (for more information see www.worldcantwait.org).

Another visit to our “Representative” on 3/24, come with us next week

Join us next Thursday, April 3rd at another encounter at Congressman Nadler’s
Manhattan office.  We will meet on the SW corner of Varick St. and Houston St.
at 11:45 pm.  This will be a shorter visit.  We’ll leave at 1:00 pm. Please RSVP
to Stephanie@worldcantwait.org.

Following is a report on our 3/27 vist to Nadler. On Thursday, March 27th seven
people who had answered the World Can’t Wait call to visit Congressman Nadler at
his Varick Street office to demand his support of the impeachment of Dick Cheney
via H.Res. 799/333 – that languishes in his Subcommittee on the Consitution,
Civil Rights & Civil Liberties.
 
As on previous visits, he himself was not in the office. We were greeted by
Robert Gottheim, Nadler’s Director of Relations (the very same person who had
brought charges against the Nadler Four during our sit-in and arrest at the
Congressman’s Brooklyn office).  One of our delegation asked if he could have a
written copy of Nadler’s position on impeachment.  He was told that Nadler had
explained his position many times in open forums and to groups of constituents
(However, we noted that Nadler refused to attend, or even send a representative,
to the March 9th Town Hall meeting on impeachment held by constituents).

Mr. Gottheim repeated some of the reasons for Nadler’s decision but declared
that a written statement was not available and would never be available. He said
we could stay until the office closed at 5 p.m.  His cordiality went so far as
the provision of chairs for us which he had refused to do when we visited last
summer, which in a Freudian slip he called his “malevolence” rather than
“benevolence.” We continued to engage Mr. Gottheim in discussion.  However, a
woman from the back office told him and other staff members to return to their
offices. 

We then proceeded with our plan to read aloud from the Bush Crimes Commission
transcript.  Gottheim reappeared and stated that if we read aloud we would have
to leave the office.  One person raised the issue of free speech and the Bill of
Rights.  Gottheim let us know that these did not apply within this particular
office, that the staff was doing the government’s business and serving Mr.
Nadler’s constituents.  In fact, Gottheim repeatedly told us how they were
serving Nadler’s constituents although we were constituents as well.  He refused
to say “other constituents” which would have acknowledged our rights to the
Congressman’s attention also. When Mr. Gottheim left, another of our delegates
read aloud the articles of impeachment from the Constitution. 

We had a lively discussion about Mr. Nadler’s position on impeachment, the
Constitutional process and the war on Iraq.  We decided to leave as planned
after two hours but that we would continue the visits on a weekly basis, varying
the day, time and office.

WHERE’S Jerry?

On Sunday, March 9th, there was a Town Hall Meeting which included some great
speakers.  Liz Holtzman was there speaking always about impeachment.  But the
guest of honor, Congressman Nadler, refused to appear.  This message was given
to the organizers:

Jerrold Nadler’s Director of Relations, Friday, after 5:00 p.m., replying to our
invitation of February 14 to speak at the Town Hall Meeting this Sunday.
 Congresssman Nadler has declined our invitation.  According to Gottheim, Nadler
feels he has spoken to many of us on many occasions on this issue.  

We are very disappointed that Congressman Nadler did not take this opportunity
to participate in this conversation weighing “Is Impeachment Necessary to
Protect the Constitutional,” with three experts in the field of Constitutional
law.  He will also not be making himself available to his constituents who will
be coming to the Town Hall Meeting with questions and comments for him.

 

The fact that he refused to show up because this topic had been discussed
before, and he refuses to speak to his constituents, as well as concerned
citizens who absolutely have the right to not only speak with him, but to demand
impeachment of  war criminals, should mean that he should lose his job! 

 

Those of us who are determined to bring the hammer of justice down upon this
Administration, will not leave Nadler alone.  We will haunt his district, haunt
his offices, and make his life generally miserable. 

So Jerry, DO THE RIGHT THING!

Return of the Faux Liberal: Congressman Jerrold Nadler


RETURN OF THE FAUX LIBERAL:


CONGRESSMAN JERROLD NADLER

by Nikolas Kozloff



January 04, 2008

 

It’s now been five months since I penned an article for Web site Counterpunch
regarding New York Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler’s stonewalling on
Cheney impeachment.  At the time, though I knew it would be a strong uphill
battle, I figured that Nadler might come around and move on impeachment
proceedings once and for all.   As the Chairman of the U.S. House of
Representatives Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties, Nadler occupies a key position and could use his
influence to press for impeachment hearings.  He has consistently refused to do
so, preferring instead to stonewall activists.  Nadler hides behind a retinue of
handlers whose job is to stall, delay, and play for more time.   Today, however,
Nadler faces a wave of negative publicity as a result of his intransigence which
could cost him politically.  I have just returned from Coney Island, Brooklyn,
where Nadler’s constituents staged a peaceful sit in at the Congressman’s
office.  True to form, Nadler refused to talk with activists regarding
impeachment, spurring four women to practice non violent civil disobedience and
get arrested.  How did we get to this point and what are the prospects for local
activists moving forward? Act I: HR 333 Nadler is not some high up White House
official in an ivory tower, he is a local Congressman.  And yet meeting with
Nadler has proven frustratingly difficult.  The story started in July, when
activists from the group World Can’t Wait organized a visit to Nadler’s office
in Lower Manhattan in an effort to get the Congressman to sign on to HR 333, a
bill to impeach the Vice President.   The resolution, submitted by Ohio
Congressman Dennis Kucinich in April 2007, charged that Cheney had purposely
manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the
United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, as
well as fabricating a threat about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al
Qaeda in an effort to justify use of force against Iraq.  Kucinich also charged
that Cheney had violated his constitutional oath and duty by openly threatening
aggression against Iran in the absence of any real threat posed to the United
States.   It was never going to be easy to get establishment Democrats on board,
however, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remarking even before Democrats took
control of Congress that impeachment would be “off the table.’  On repeated
occasions, Nadler put activists through the go around, refusing to set up an
appointment to discuss impeachment.   In the middle of a heat wave, I took the
subway from my native Park Slope, Brooklyn to Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan
located in a Federal Building.  As the heat burnt through the pavement,
activists decided upon a strategy: rather than go into Nadler’s office on the
sixth floor in a group, we would go up in twos and threes.  Unfortunately, such
elaborate tomfoolery had become necessary because the authorities were unlikely
to let the entire delegation proceed together. At long last, my turn arrived.
Together with another gentleman, I walked into the Federal Building. Act II:
Nadler in His Fortress Inside the lobby, I did not see some of the earlier
members of our party, leading me to think that indeed some activists had
succeeded in getting up to Nadler’s office. But when I arrived at the security
check, my hopes plummeted.  “Are you going to Nadler’s office?” asked a guard,
suspiciously. “No officer,” we replied innocently, “We’re just headed to the
Peace Corps office.” Judging from the security guards’ expressions, they were
unconvinced by our alibi. After we passed our spare change, keys and cell phones
through the detector one of the guards escorted us up in the elevator, just to
make sure we went to the tenth floor and not to the sixth floor. “For Christ’s
sake, this is ridiculous,” I remarked to my colleague. “I understand that the
White House and certain government offices are very difficult to get access to.
But this is our local Congressman.”   While we picked up an application to join
the Peace Corps inside, our guardian waited outside for us to exit the office.
 “What can we do?” I asked my colleague, feeling frustrated. “Not much,” he
replied. “It looks like we’re just going to have to return to the lobby.” Right
on cue our guardian rejoined us in the hallway and rode down with us in the
elevator, just to make sure that we would not visit the Congressman’s office. I
wondered what would happen if we simply opted to get off at the sixth floor. As
I stood outside, I spoke with several other activists who were similarly
outraged by the Orwellian treatment they had received at the hands of the
guards. Some had been turned back at the security check and told they could not
proceed at all.  I later heard that some activists had indeed managed to get
into Nadler’s office, to the “chagrin” of his staff. An unhappy Robert Gottheim,
Nadler’s District Director, was called in to deal with the activists. When
activists requested to speak with Nadler either in person or by speaker phone or
conference call, Gottheim said no: Nadler was unavailable.  When activists asked
Gottheim to tell security to allow the rest of the delegation to come upstairs
the Nadler handler refused. Hardly a hospitable host, Gottheim similarly refused
to invite the activists into the office. Activists were told they could sit down
in one of four seats in the entranceway.   The activists then eloquently
presented their case. Gottheim, aptly demonstrating his stonewalling abilities
and penchant to be a party hack, repeatedly stated that impeachment was a
distraction from other things the Democrats sought to accomplish. Trotting out
familiar Inside the Beltway group think, Gottheim claimed impeachment was not
practical because the Democrats could not muster two thirds of Congress to vote
for such a measure.  At that, Gottheim ended the discussion. When activists said
they wanted to wait to speak to Nadler, Gottheim got hot under the collar.
Putting on his suit jacket, he declared that the activists were in a Federal
Building and should leave. Organizers stayed for about another hour or so, but
finally opted to leave when it became clear Nadler was a clear No Show. Act III:
A Surreal Vote Count and Nadler’s Tabling Increasingly however Nadler was out of
step with his fellow liberal members of Congress.  In November, Kucinich read
the text of HR 333 on the floor of the House and reintroduced the motion as a
new resolution.  Led by Kucinich, scores of Democrats joined opportunistic
Republicans in initially supporting the Ohio Congressman’s resolution, which
would have prompted a full debate on impeaching Cheney.   The Republicans sought
to force the Democrats to vote on impeachment, a development which the GOP
thought might weaken the Democrats in the court of public opinion.  Fearful that
Kucinich’s measure might embarrass the party, Democratic leaders such as
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer moved to table Kucinich’s impeachment resolution.
 Joining the establishment Democrats was Jerrold Nadler.   When Hoyer and his
liberal enablers were outvoted 251 to 162, Democratic leaders moved to refer the
motion back to the Judiciary Committee.  Again, Nadler voted with Hoyer and the
rest, resulting in a truly surreal vote result with Republicans pitted against
all Democrats save Kucinich and four other legislators.   Final vote count: 218
to 194 in favor of sending Kucinich’s resolution back to committee.   Since that
time, HR 333 has languished in the Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep John
Conyers (D-Mich.), who has publicly speculated about impeaching the president or
vice president but has declined taking any action since taking the gavel in
January of ‘07.   Back in New York, activists with World Can’t Wait tried to set
up a meeting between peace activist Cindy Sheehan and Representative Nadler to
broach impeachment.  Not surprisingly given his historic pattern, the New York
legislator refused the opportunity. Act IV: Nadler Deaf to Democratic
Base Still, recent developments suggest that Nadler and the establishment are at
odds with the Democratic base and that their stonewalling could become a
political liability.  Recently, Reps. Robert Wexler (D., Fla.), Luis Gutiérrez
(D., Ill.) and Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.), all members of the Judiciary Committee,
have petitioned the other members to begin important impeachment hearings
immediately.  Over 170,000 citizens nationwide signed on to Wexler’s letter in
only its first six days and the petition received the attention of mainstream
media such as the Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald and others.  Wexler hails
from Boca Raton, and his heavily Democratic 19th Congressional District includes
parts of Palm Beach and Broward counties.  He has launched a Web site,
wexlerwantshearings.com, and continues to gather signatures calling for
impeachment hearings against Cheney.   “Our Constitution mandates that the House
of Representatives hold presidents and vice presidents accountable when they
commit high crimes,’ Wexler remarks in a video on the site.  Wexler says he is
aiming for 250,000 signatures. He acknowledges however that he faces a ‘huge
uphill battle,’ because House leadership has not been interested.  A veteran
member of the House Judiciary Committee, Wexler hopes to deliver the signatures
to the committee when Congress shortly returns to Washington. Act V: If At First
You Can’t Succeed, Go To Brooklyn In an effort to support Wexler’s efforts and
to keep the Cheney impeachment issue in play, activists with Not in Our Name and
World Can’t Wait headed to Brooklyn this morning.  Oddly, Nadler’s predominantly
Manhattan district also comprises the heavily Russian Coney Island area and the
Congressman has a district office here.  Braving the frigid wind, I hopped on
the F train in Park Slope.  The ride took only a half hour, though other
activists traveled from farther afield.  Why travel so far and not go to
Manhattan?   Sadly, such a move has become utterly necessary as Nadler’s
Manhattan office is housed in a federal building and security guards will not
let activists pass inside.  Located in a nondescript building along Neptune
Avenue, Nadler’s Brooklyn office is located near such local businesses as the
Belarus convenience store.   By the look of it, the local staff had never seen
the likes of a peaceful sit in at their office.   Activists urged Nadler’s
people to get the Congressman to sign on to HR 333 and move the resolution on to
the floor of the House.  Ilan Kayatsky, Nadler’s Brooklyn Community
Representative, gave us the usual line about the Democrats not having the votes
to move on impeachment.  In a stretch, he also claimed that taking up the issue
would tie up Congress for two years and that such a move would distract from
other meaningful legislative efforts.  When pressed however, Kayatsky couldn’t
name much in the realm of substantial accomplishments under the Democratic-led
Congress. Activists, who had helped to put the Democrats into power in ’06,
expressed dismay about the continued funding of the war and demanded to speak to
Nadler.  Kayatsky replied that Nadler was not in the office and refused to call
his boss.  We asked if he could leave a message with Nadler, which Kayatsky also
refused to do.  In a move to dismiss, he said he would contact Nadler in future
in an effort to set up a meeting.  Activists, who had long been shrugged off by
Nadler, were distrustful of the offer and peacefully sat down on the
floor. Outside, I made calls to local media outlets alerting them to our
protest.  Presently a reporter from NY1, a local TV station, came to film and
interview protesters.  Growing hungry, I started to think how nice it might be
to get a bowl of borscht with a dollop of sour cream at one of the local Russian
restaurants.  At one point, our group noticed that Robert Gottheim, Nadler’s
none too ceremonious aide from Manhattan, was present in the office.  As closing
time neared, Kayatsky threatened activists with arrest.  Sure enough, at five
o’clock eight strapping cops showed up and tried to discourage activists from
getting arrested.  When protesters refused, the police moved in and arrested
four women from the group.   Nadler’s Cynical Triangulation Riding home to Park
Slope on the F train, I felt a sense of accomplishment in our group’s action. 
Nadler surely can’t be happy at the negative publicity on NY1 as well as Air
America Radio and WBAI Radio, other media outlets which covered the story.  The
reality however is that it is going to take a lot more effort to change Nadler’s
position.  At one point while in Nadler’s office, I asked Kayatsky how many
activists and protests it would take for the Congressman to consider changing
course.  The legislative aide refused to answer. Nadler, who has a pretty
liberal record overall and who has been gracious to anti-war protesters, is
nevertheless a party hack who cares more about the political fortunes of the
Democratic Party than the Constitution or the future of the country. 
Unfortunately, he worships party loyalty and his ties to establishment
politicians such as Hillary Clinton above all else.  Like many of his peers,
Nadler seems to think that the Democrats can wait out the clock until the ’08
election and that the voters, disgusted by the Republicans, will give his own
party a more substantial majority.   The Democrats believe that impeachment will
turn off most voters and encourage defeat.  It’s a risky strategy however which
may lead to failure: according to a recent poll conducted by the American
Research Group, a startling 54% of the U.S. public now favors impeachment of
Vice President Cheney.  Nikolas Kozloff is a Brooklyn-based writer.  He is the
author of Hugo Chávez: Oil, Politics, and The Challenge to the U.S. (Palgrave,
2006) and Revolution! South America and the Rise of the New Left (Palgrave,
April 2008).   For more information about upcoming actions related to

Elaine Brower and 3 activists arrested at IMPEACHMENT SIT-IN at Nadler’s office

The Bush Regime has now been caught lying about Iran, destroying the taped
evidence of its torture of prisoners – blatantly impeachable offenses, and much
more. Yet what major candidate is even talking about stopping torture and
repealing the new laws codifying it? What major candidate is supporting
impeachment of these criminals? It is up to the people to act.Wednesday, January
2, 10 people sat in in the Brooklyn office of Jerrold Nadler, a key member of
the House Judiciary Committee. Impeachment hearings could start by this
committee, yet Nadler has joined Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic
Party leaders in declaring impeachment off the table.

Protesters from The World Can’t Wait, Not in Our Name, and other groups,
demanded to talk with Congressman Nadler to express the sentiment of millions
that Bush & Cheney should be impeached for their crimes. On behalf of the
Congressmen, his aides refused to even let the protesters talk to Nadler on the
phone and instead threatened them with arrest.

At 5:00 PM four women were arrested, held overnight, and release with criminal
trespassing charges. They are to appear in court on February 5, 2008.

Just before their arrest, they were interviewed by New York 1, WBAI Evening News
and the Thom Hartmann show on Air America. Video by the protesters here .

Visiting our local Congressman
by Elaine Brower

It is an odd thing when a group of anti-war, pro-impeachment activists have to
pay a visit to a local Congressman who is considered the most liberal of
representatives in a completely “blue State.” Unfortunately, that is just what
we had to do. Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), who is extremely progressive
and has been an advocate for civil rights and civil liberties for his entire
time in office, has for some reason gotten amnesia.
