Earlier this week Florida Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL –District
19), a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, signed on to
Congressman Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) Articles of Impeachment against
President George W. Bush.
Kucinich, on Monday presented 35 Articles of Impeachment outlining
numerous allegations against President Bush, including his creation of
a massive propaganda campaign to mislead the nation into war with Iraq,
the illegal use of torture during interrogation, the authorization of a
warrantless wiretapping program on American citizens, and the
repetitive use of signing statements to negate legislation passed by
Congress, the mishandling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New
Orleans, and the diverting of funds to Iraq resulting in the ruin of
the U.S. economy.
"President Bush deliberately created a massive propaganda campaign
to sell the war in Iraq to the American people and the charges detailed
in this impeachment resolution indicate an unprecedented abuse of
executive power," said Congressman Wexler, whose Florida congressional
district includes Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral
Springs, Delray Beach, Greenacres, Lake Worth, Lantana, Margate,
Pompano Beach and Tamarac.

 “I felt my skin tingle, my heart grow full, and I had tears in my eyes,
as I watched Barack Obama inspire that large crowd in Minnesota as they
acknowledged his victory as the Democratic Party’s presidential
nominee. What history! I am so proud to be American today,” said Sallie
Kructhner, a white Tamarac senior citizen commenting to National Weekly
on Barack Obama’s historical victory in the Democratic primary race on
Tuesday. “It is a defining moment in America’s history,” she concluded.

Hillary wins; Edwards endorses Obama |

It was no surprise. Hillary Clinton won the West Virginia primary on
Tuesday by a landslide margin of 67 percent to Barack Obama’s 26
percent. It was no surprise that Clinton won in a state, that Obama had
virtually conceded – holding only one major campaign rally there -
where the demographic profile of white, “blue collar,” non-college
educated voters totally suited her.
It also wasn’t surprising that Clinton sounded very defiant in her
victory speech in Charleston, West Virginia, telling her supporters, "I
am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign, I am in this
race because I believe I am the strongest candidate. ... I can lead
this party to victory in the general election if you lead me to victory
now."

Obama moves ‘Wright’ along |

Democratic presidential Candidate Barack Obama took another step closer
to become that party’s nominee for November’s presidential election.
Despite the negatives arising from the incendiary remarks made by his
former Pastor Jeremiah Wright, which was speculated to have a negative
effect on his campaign, Obama scored big Tuesday’s primaries. He not
only scored a convincing 14 point victory over Hillary Clinton in North
Carolina, but narrowly lost to her by two points in Indiana, making her
nomination now extremely difficult, if not impossible.
According to the latest estimates, Obama has secured 1842 delegates of
the 2025 required to win the nomination, 183 short of the goal. He now
leads Clinton who has 1686 delegates by 166. In the race for
superdelegates, Clinton has a 13 point lead with 267 to 254. With the
huge win in North Carolina, and the close finish in Indiana, Obama
erased the popular votes lost to Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary,
and now leads by almost 700,000 popular votes.

A judge in New York has ordered the defense not to hand over any
information to the media in the case against a Guyanese-born suspect
accused of plotting to blow up the John F. Kennedy International
Airport last year.
Judge Dora Irizarry ruled that any information United States federal
prosecutors share with the defense in the case against Russell
Defreitas, 64, should not be discussed or otherwise shared with the
media.
She warned that a breach of her order, which includes prohibition on
information from court transcripts and notes, would be in contempt of
court.
Prosecutors working on the case of the former air cargo worker said it
would take months to sift through classified materials that may be
applicable to the case.
