      Synopsis

      "They can say that Homeland Security and FEMA are on the job, but New Orleans proves them wrong. They can claim they're winning the war on terror and the war in Iraq, but everyday the facts belie their claims. They can assure us that they're protecting our civil liberties and doing everything by the book, but nearly every week brings fresh revelations of their lawbreaking." -from the Conclusion

      In the face of the extraordinary and unprecedented threat the White House and its allies present to civil liberties, civil rights, the Constitution, international law, and the future of the planet, this persuasive collection makes the case that a drastically different political dynamic must be created right now.

      Impeach the President is a comprehensive analysis of a criminal administration. It unearths the stories behind voter fraud in 2000 and 2004, the overt lies used to justify pre-emptive war on Iraq, the extensive, ongoing commission of war crimes and torture, the tragic failures in the lead-up to and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and lesser-known but equally alarming offences of propaganda and disinformation, illegal spying, environmental destruction, and the violation of the separation of church and state. Loo and Phillips chillingly reveal the full threat behind the radical right-wing force that has taken over the most powerful office in the world.

      The collection includes a striking introduction by Howard Zinn and contributions from Dennis Loo, Peter Phillips, Judith Volkart, Dahr Jamail, Jeremy Brecher, Jill Cutler, Brendan Smith, Larry Everest, Greg Palast, Nancy Snow, Barbara J. Bowley, Mark Crispin Miller, Kevin Wehr, Richard Heinberg, Lyn Duff, Dennis Bernstein, Bridget Thornton, Lew Brown, Andrew Sloan, Cynthia Boaz, and Michael Nagler.

      Impeach the President issues a clarion call for a popular movement even more powerful than the antiwar movement of the 1960s. As the authors write in the preface, "Governments do not fall of their own weight; they must be driven out."

      May 22, 2007: This book goes above and beyond what the media decides to tell us today in regards to our nation's leaders and political affairs! If you think you've heard it all for staying updated with the L.A Times, the news, etc., you have been given incomplete information, misinformed, or simply told nothing. This book doesn't hold back on the truth and you are guaranteed to be surprised. Hold on, for it is a ride that you won't expect!!!

      December 29, 2006: Impeach the President is an outstanding volume that makes the argument that there are ten grounds for impeaching George Bush. The essay on the impeachment process alone is worth the price of the book. The book is scholarly without being stodgy and written superbly. It has my highest recommendation especially in light of the president's intent to ignore the repudiation of his policies that formed the basis for deafeats of virtually all Republicans in the November 2006 elections. This book should be required reading in college courses in American government and in American Foreign Policy. My compliments to the authors and editors of Impeach the President for producing a remarkable book.
