One of the most important recommendations by John Conyers in his 487 page recent report "Reining In The Imperial Presidency" was to extend the statute of limitations on the crimes of Bush and Cheney, to allow a fair opportunity for them to be actually investigated by a real prosecutor. Of course the Justice Department was entirely derelict in enforcing the law as to them while they were still in office. To fully preserve and protect the rule of law, the statute of limitations must be extended now.
And sure enough, just the other day Cheney was out there gloating about how the statute of limitations was expiring on some of their most egregious offenses. For example, the midnight putsch to institute a regime of illegal wiretapping occurred in early March of 2004, not quite 5 years ago. We certainly did not expect Alberto Gonzales, who conspired in all of this, to enforce the law when he was attorney general, did we?

And while we're on the subject of Dick Cheney shooting off his unwelcome mouth again, we never expected you to "make nice with terrorists", Dick, as you so contemptuously smear any alternative to a policy of slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians in foreign countries and destroying their cities. No, Dick, we expected you to NOT stoop to beneath their level, which has made us all decidely less safe for the future.
In truth, if we count all our senseless casualties in Iraq, Dick, more died on your watch since than died on 9/11, which you dismally failed to protect us from in the first place in your arrogant insolence. Or was it deliberate treason, so you could justify your war to seize Iraq's oil fields? No, Dick, we were never expecting everyone in the world to "love" us, but we sure could do without a couple extra generations of millions of people bent on mortal revenge.
By, the way, did anyone else catch the story of Cheney throwing out his back moving his OWN boxes? What is a former vice president doing playing his own moving man, unless all those boxes contained incriminating evidence he would not allow anyone else to even touch? Must have been a lot of such evidence to throw his back out like that.
On a happier note, we are pleased to report that Thursday we completed the latest round of shipping of the new "Convict Dick & W" caps, the ones with a little embroidered cowboy hat hung on the "W", intended to ridicule the original cowboy from Connecticut himself, who always looked about as at home on that fake Crawford ranch as Zsa Zsa looked on Green Acres. So if you have not requested yours yet, you can get one from the return page after you submit the statute of limitations extension action page.

And on the same return page from the action page above, you can also find the new local county prosecutor lookup, which we are using to call, write and email local district attorneys, asking them to bring murder charges against George Bush and Dick Cheney as urged by Vince Bugliosi. If any resident of your county was killed a war based on false pretenses, Bugliosi says that district attorney has grounds to bring murder charges. At the top of all these pages, there is a link to a terrific YouTube video you can watch on this of Bugliosi's House testimony.
The local prosecutor initiative is an important long term back up action, intended to keep the heat on at the same time for a special prosecutor at the federal level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not asking anyone to file a "formal" criminal complaint yourself. Common sense tells us that a state prosecutor will only act, in the exercise of their OWN discretion, if they believe there is a non-frivolous case to bring. But by speaking out, we can let them know there is community support for them to do so.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
