McKinney Calls For Impeachment: Conyers Not Planning Investigations
Atlanta Progressive News has copy of Cynthia’s final floor speech in which she introduces articles of Impeachment but as it turns out she was not allowed to read on the US House Floor….
We have a President who has misgoverned and a Congress that has refused to hold him accountable. It is a grave situation and I believe the stakes for our country are high.
No American is above the law, and if we allow a President to violate, at the most basic and fundamental level, the trust of the people and then continue to govern, without a process for holding him accountable, what does that say about our commitment to the truth?

I am not willing to put any political party before my principles.
This, instead, is about beginning the long road back to regaining the high standards of truth and democracy upon which our great country was founded.
Mr. Speaker:

To my fellow Americans, as I leave this Congress, it is in your hands to hold your representatives accountable, and to show those with the courage to stand for what is right, that they do not stand alone.

McKinney quietly replies, “Now they say they aren’t even going to issue subpoenas.”
hold Congress’ feet to the fire. 50,000 telegrams to Congress forced them to hold impeachment hearings on Nixon….
