Constitution Summer is going to have a booth a this year's S.F. Pride celebration, Sunday June 25. Volunteers needed as early as 7 a.m. & as late as 8 p.m. Our primary focus will be fundraising and recruitment.
To volunteer, please sign up at www.constitutionsummer.org/
And email cheryl.aichele@constitutionsummer.org with "Constitutional Pride" in subject line. Please include name, day of event contact information (cell phone), and your availiblity for volunteering on Sunday.
Even if you can NOT volunteer, please visit us at S.F. Pride if you are going to be there. We can use all the support we can get...even if it's just a kind word.
The purpose of Constitution Summer is to present a moderated, legitimate, mainstream, nonpartisan case for the impeachment of President, George W. Bush, and Vice President, Richard B. Cheney, based on four key crimes.
Those crimes are:
1) Illegal, warrantless domestic spying in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Constitution;
2) The designation of United States citizens as "enemy combatants" who, by such designation, have been subject to indefinite detention without charge or trial;
3) The initiation of an illegal war of aggression based on fraudulent claims; and
4) The countenance of extraordinary rendition and torture.
It is the view of the members of Constitution Summer that each of these charges constitutes an impeachable offense, and that each has been substantiated to the extent that articles of impeachment can legitimately be brought.
The goal of this organization is to frame the November 2006 election as a referendum on the Constitution, focused on the abuses of executive authority of George W. Bush. It also seeks to mobilize activists to work to launch a Congressional investigation into grounds for impeachment for repeated abuses of the public trust.
This issue is culturally relevant, and builds and inspire a generation of activists, show popular support for a Congressional investigation, retake the media agenda all while working towards reestablishing oversight regardless of impeachment or removal from office.
We hope that the cultural dialog that will come from this endeavor will help rather than hurt our cause, and to in some way contribute, to a return of honest and open government respectful of our Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
Constitution Summer represents an emerging coalition of students for impeachment originating from Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School, Georgetown Law School, Boalt Law School, George Washington University Law School, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UCLA, the University of Michigan, and the University of Maryland.
