Dennis Kucinich

On November 14, 2007, Dennis Kucinich was honored with the BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award for introducing into the House of Representatives articles to impeach Richard Cheney.

We noted at the time:

Indeed, if this were a Democratic administration, successful impeachment proceedings would have been launched by the Republicans in Congress years ago. It is a testament to the mainstream media's and D.C. establishment's double standard that both the Republican and Democratic leaders consider any effort to impeach Cheney or Bush as an "embarrassment" to the Democrats, despite the documented chronic illegal behavior of the White House. It's shameful that so many members of Congress sworn to uphold the Constitution turned their backs on it.

Because tonight, June 9, Congressman Dennis Kucinich kept the U.S. House in session til after midnight while he read his 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. Kucinich addressed the House for more than 3 hours non-stop, during which he described every crime, corruption, and failing of this Administration, and further how all these many actions should be viewed ultimately as transgressions against the American People and against the Oath of Office of the President of the U.S.

Tonight, Dennis Kucinich laid it all out there, he put it all "on the table," and most importantly he put it INTO the Congressional Record, and for that I believe him to have proven himself to be a truly heroic American Patriot deserving of the coveted Wings of Justice recognition.
