A coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups, and political activist groups announced a campaign today to urge that the U.S. Congress launch a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war.

The formal Resolution of Inquiry request, written by Boston constitutional attorney John C. Bonifaz, cites the Downing Street Memo and issues surrounding the planning and execution of the Iraq war. A resolution of inquiry would force relevant House committees to vote on the record as to whether to support an investigation.

Democrats.com, Global Exchange, Code Pink, Gold Star Families for Peace, Progressive Democrats of America, Veterans for Peace, Democracy Rising, Rainbow Push, Velvet Revolution, Justice Through Music, and others have joined the campaign called After Downing Street - the website just launched yesterday, May 26, at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/

The inquiry has been written... It is now up to US to get the grassroots mobilized and demand an investigation. Regardless of whether or not you think the Republicans will ever impeach this "President", we MUST SPEAK UP! BE THE PEOPLE! Please sign the letter to urge Congress to adopt the Resolution of Inquiry at http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/39 and tell everyone you know!
