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.
