Mainer to join Kucinich at Dartmouth

John Kaminski, chairman of the Maine lawyers for Democracy, will join Ohio presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich and John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine, to teach the public about the process and history of presidential impeachment at Dartmouth College Monday.

Kucinich has continually called for impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. The forum, held on the Hanover, N.H. campus at 6 p.m. Monday, will give a historical perspective of the process, clear up myths and discuss what impeachment involves, according to a press release from the group Democracy for New Hampshire.

The panel will include other New England activists, and be streamed live on www.kucinichtv.com.

Kaminski is a leading member of the movement in Maine to impeach Bush and Cheney. The group has pushed resolutions supporting impeachment, and is actively lobbying Reps. Tom Allen and Mike Michaud to support impeachment.

Kaminski said he fully supports Dennis Kucinich in his bid for presidency.

"Impeachment is essential to preserving the constitution and the political process," he said.
