Central Coast Congressman Sam Farr has joined a small group of House Democrats seeking the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney about the origins of the Iraq War.

Farr, D-Carmel, quietly this week joined 11 co-sponsors of a resolution introduced in late April by U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, that lays out two articles of impeachment against Cheney.

The measure, H.R. 33, accuses the vice president of manipulating intelligence and fabricating a threat of weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq.

"Many residents in the Central Coast support the removal of Cheney from office, and I am proud to represent their values in Congress," Farr said in a brief statement released Wednesday by his office.

1. Excellent!

I hope this continues, we all need to write our reps (both parties) and suggest they co-sponsor the bill.

3. Sam Farr is my Rep!!! I'd like to think I might have had a little to do with this...

as I called and emailed him repeatedly and finally last week sent a letter to both his local and DC offices.
Of course, when I heard this news, I called his office to thank him for standing up for the constitution.

drop by drop and inch by inch, this is turning out to be an interesting summer...

He's my Rep, too.
Now today we need to thank him and also tell him to vote NO on HR811, the Holt election deform bill. (See info here).
