Henry Nicolle California state Citizen for Congress

George W. Bush is the first president in our history to take the wealth and persons of our people to a foreign, sovereign nation, to invade, conquer and occupy that country and to subjugate its people under the imposition of a foreign system of government, directed and regulated by our president.

In order to accomplish this task, Bush and his closest staff induced the Congress to accept this treason under the false guise of clear and eminent danger of attack in our lands and our homes by Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi people.  Bush's inducements, warnings, and proclamations were false, known to him to be grossly exaggerated and imbued with artificial, inflated urgency, requiring speed of decision calculated to avoid investigation and prevent verification of the danger and to void debate of the authority and methods presumed necessary for our defense.

While the executive's foreign policies of the preceding century, the era of the Spanish War and the voyages of the Great White Fleet, have won few friends for our government among the people of the world, the world's people have looked favorably upon our People and upon our system of self-governing, recognizing that our commitment to individual liberty was our source of our freedom, prosperity and justice. For that period, they understood that the acts of government were not the acts of the People.

Since W.W.II however, the policies and actions of our federal government have so outstripped the  limits of our constitution and the will of our people that the disasters our military, economic and multinational corporations have imposed upon the people of the world, that we, the Citizens of this great country are now classed among the hated and dangerous of the world, because we are now seen to support and praise the crimes of our federal government.

The modern hybrid policy of military conquest and economic domination has matured into the continual trade and warfare state generally acknowledged as Empire. The federal process of dissolving our domestic social, economic and political cohesion have opened our borders to invaders of diverse intent, debased our money...

Our borders are breached and our invaders welcomed with open arms by our federal and State governments. The people of the world now realize that the liberty of our country, the freedom, justice and prosperity we have sown have now been surrendered to the silent tyranny of comfort and complacency of centralized government policies. America is no longer the land of the free and the brave, but a land of regulation and cowering.

Our control of our government has faded that Americans themselves are indistinguishable from bombs from our aircraft or missiles from our ships or from the young Marines who beat to death a stubborn driver who refuses to take down the photo of a man United States policy does not approve.

The recent American invasions of Haiti, Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan Iraq and other countries have sealed the world concept that the United States government and the people of the United States share the same goal of domination, by dollar or by bombs and bullets, of the less powerful people of the world.

Our leaders told us during the bombing of Iraq in the early 90's that it was necessary to bomb the electrical generating plants, the sewage treatment plants, the water supply and treatment plants, the bridges and the marketplaces in order to discourage the people from supporting their leaders and their government. Those are criminal acts. Today, we are told by our leaders that any civilians who may be maimed or killed, or their houses and property destroyed by our attacks upon unknown enemies may be quite high and because of these high collateral casualties, that the people should consider asking the militants to refrain from making war in their neighborhood. What do you suppose our leaders would say if the attackers of the world trade center suggested that the civilian casualties of that day were collateral and un-preventable, since the primary target of the attacks were the CIA, the NSC and other American intelligence and military assets housed within those buildings.

The unjustified and unauthorized attack on Iraq is the deliberate culmination of our evolutionary and inevitable creation of a new class of enemies of the United States. These provocations, the abandonment of our constitution by a president for purposes not yet clearly enunciated, justified any making of war upon the people of the united States, upon the states of the united states as well as upon the government and forces of the United States, the businesses and enterprises fostered and imposed upon the world's people by the government of the united States.

We would act no differently, were the circumstances reversed. George Bush has usurped the powers of the People's representatives in Congress for the purpose of making a war for private purposes. He has stolen the property of the People and expended them in the destruction of other people and their governments and property for his own, un-stated reasons. He has created enemies of the states and of the People of our union, armed and financed the preparation of our conquests and now invites eye-for eye acts of war upon our states and people. This is treason and George W. Bush should be impeached for his crimes and he and his associates should face trial by the Citizens of the States and if found guilty, executed as all traitors of this magnitude have been in our history.

The harm that George Bush and his advisors have brought to our people and our system of government is so deep and so serious that we may not recover from the damage. Without public accusation, public trial and public acknowledgment that our federal government has abandoned the constitution, our country will fade into the oblivion on failure of will of the People to the greed and ambition of scoundrels and cretins.
