VoteToImpeach

VoteToImpeach is an organization, associated with Ramsey Clark, which advocates the impeachment of the current U.S. President, George W. Bush, and several members of his administration. Its website (as of 8 February 2007) claims to have collected over 852,780 signatures in favor of impeachment. The organization is widely believed to be a front group for the Workers World Party [http://www.politics1.com/wwp04.htm] .

The website has drafted its own articles of impeachment against President Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General (at the time) John Ashcroft. The document argues that the four have committed, "...violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States."

In the days leading up to the 2004 election, the group was cited by some conservative pundits as proof that opponents of Bush believed President Bush would win.
