McKinney Says People Must “Flip the Script” Again; Urges Mass Mobilization Supporting Impeachment

This past Monday, backed up by the sustained pressure of a persistent mass movement for impeachment, Dennis Kucinich succeeded in “flipping the script” on the House Democratic leadership, and now the Articles of Impeachment are before the Judiciary Committee–precisely the result that the impeachment movement has been fighting for over the last five years!

Today we find that the ball is back in our court. It’s up to the People now to “flip the script” once again. A massive grassroots movement of the People must coalesce very quickly, which can move Chairman Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on H.Res. 1258.

I call upon all the forces of the Black movement nationwide–whether they currently support my presidential bid or the candidacy of Senator Obama–along with all my Green and Reconstructionist supporters, Katrina survivors and their supporters, the election protection movement, and all progressive forces, to organize a mass mobilization to push the House Judiciary Committee to move on the 35 Articles of Impeachment, with an explicit emphasis on the Black demands for fairness, equality and justice as laid out in Articles 28, 29 and 31.
