One unalterable fact of the Bush administration is the attempt to establish “unitary executive” powers. Opinions on both sides of the aisle have made references to a constitutional crisis. In response, a growing number of prominent Americans and organizations have been organizing impeachment educational events throughout the country.

Formed in July '07, NEIC expanded from a coalition of New England impeachment organizations into a network connecting groups across the country. Nationwide impeachment actions and seminars are slated to happen in November and December. The teach-in at Dartmouth follows on the heels of a WCAX television poll that showed Vermonters favoring impeachment of both Bush and Cheney by a two to one margin. On November 3-4, 2007, The National Lawyers Guild voted unanimously on a resolution
to impeach President Bush and Vice-President Cheney at their National Convention in Washington, DC.

On the US House floor, November 6, 2007, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich successfully brought H-Resolution 799, which calls for an investigative impeachment
of Vice-President, Dick Cheney, to begin. It was voted into the House Judiciary Committee for further action.

Starting at 7pm EDT, this event will be live streamed at www.kucinichTV.com .
Participants are encouraged to arrive early for seating at this event. It is free and open to the public, and is handicapped accessible.
Donations are welcomed to help defray expenses. To donate please contact the web site of NEIC www.neimpeach.org
