About me:
Signup at Constitution Summer's official website
Constitution Summer represents an emerging coalition of students and young people dedicated to defending the ideals of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights and to checking arbitrary abuses of power and authority, starting with a moderated, legitimate, mainstream, nonpartisan campaign to impeach President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, and their administration.
Constitution Summer is basing its call for the impeachment of the President and Vice President on four key crimes:
1) illegal domestic spying in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the 4th Amendment;
2) misleading the country into a war of aggression in Iraq based on fraudulent claims;
3) indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition, and torture;
4) abuse of executive authority and subversion of the Constitution.
It is the view of the members of Constitution Summer that each of these charges constitutes an impeachable offense, and that each has been substantiated to the extent that articles of impeachment can legitimately be brought.
Constitution Summer is organizing youth and students, who constitute a powerful cultural catalyst, in order to bring this issue further into the mainstream by remaining true to the following:
1) ConstitutionSummer.org will function as a central organizing and publishing tool.
2) We will attach our message to culture through music, comedy, art, and theater.
3) We will remind elected officials of their oath to uphold the Constitution through media, educational events, demonstrations, and public events.
4) Remembering that all politics is local, we will put pressure on local elected officials to represent our voice through the generation of local resolutions and referenda.
5) We will make sure that our elected officials know that we want to be safe and free, and that we will not advance freedom abroad by abandoning it at home.
6) We will remain nonpartisan, issue specific, and true to our purpose and ideals.
Constitution Summer originated at UC Berkeley, Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School, Georgetown Law School, Boalt Law School, George Washington University Law School, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UCLA, the University of Michigan, and the University of Maryland, and it continues to grow.

This film screening and discussion is part of a nationwide week of impeachment teach-ins based on the book, Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush, written by attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights and published by Melville House.
You must RSVP for the event, and please also be sure to sign up with Constitution Summer in order to stay up to date with the nonpartisan youth-led campaign for impeachment.

Constitution Summer May 1st Law Day Impeachment Teach-In
On May 1st, 2006, members of Constitution Summer, the nonpartisan youth campaign for Executive accountability, tried to hold a fully sanctioned teach-in on the impeachment of George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney on Mario Savio Steps at UC Berkeley. The speakers were to include local elected officials, an expert in constitutional law from the Center for Constitutional Rights, and founding members of Constitution Summer.
Instead, we had to hold a demonstration in favor of free speech rights, as the University saw fit to inform us that our previously approved event was cancelled, a mere 30 minutes before it was to begin, and sent the police.
