Black
American Citizens File Articles of Impeachment Against Obama
Sarasota, FL ( August 12,
2013) - The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) based in Sarasota, FL,
headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against
President Barack Obama with the following language.
We, black
American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from
governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to
Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from
office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism
that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.
On July 4, 1776, the
founders of our nation declared their independence from governmental tyranny
and reaffirmed their faith in independence with the ratification of the Bill of
Rights in 1791.
Asserting their
right to break free from the tyranny of a nation that denied them the civil
liberties that are our birthright, the founders declared:
“When a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security.” - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
THE
IMPEACHMENT POWER
Article II, Section IV of
the United States Constitution provides: “The President, Vice President and all
civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors.”
THE
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
In his conduct of the
office of President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, aka Barry Soetoro,
personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard
of the constitutional rights of citizens and in violation of his constitutional
duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented,
obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that:
ARTICLE 1
He has covered up,
delayed, impeded and obstructed the investigation of the Benghazi Battle.
Specific conduct includes:
(1) failing to adequately secure the US Consulate and the CIA annex in
Benghazi; (2) failing to send a response team to rescue embattled US citizens
in Benghazi; (3) lying to the American people about why the US Consulate and
the CIA annex were attacked in Benghazi; and (4) hiding from the media and
congressional investigators the Central Intelligence Agency personnel and other
wounded US citizens who were on the ground in Benghazi by scattering them
throughout the United States, forcing them to adopt new identities and
subjecting them to monthly polygraph tests.
Benghazi Battle elements
that are under investigation:
On September 11, 2012, the
anniversary of the September 11, 2001, the US Consulate and the CIA annex in
Benghazi, Libya was targeted in a premeditated, preplanned attack launched
without warning by Islamist militants.
Footage of the attack
broadcast in real time showed armed men attacking the consulate with
rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, assault rifles, 14.5 mm anti-aircraft
machine guns, truck mounted artillery, diesel canisters, and mortars. It
was not an act of savage mob violence, nor a spontaneous protest in response to
an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.
In that attack, four
American citizens were killed: US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens;
Information Officer Sean Smith; and two embassy security personnel, Glen
Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs. Ambassador Stevens is
the first U.S. Ambassador killed in an attack since Adolph Dubs was killed in
1979.
ARTICLE 2
He has disclosed secret
grand jury material by exposing the existence of a sealed indictment of one of
the Benghazi attackers in violation of Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure that clearly states: “… no person may disclose the
indictment’s existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or
summons.’’
ARTICLE 3
He has authorized and
permitted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division
of the Justice Department, to conduct Operation Fast and Furious, wherein guns
were sold to Mexican drug trafficking organizations that were used to kill
innocent Mexican civilians and two rifles sold to a smuggler in January 2010
ended up at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in
December 2010.
ARTICLE 4
He has authorized and
permitted confidential income tax returns information from the Internal Revenue
Service to be provided to unauthorized individuals, organizations and agencies.
ARTICLE 5
He has caused
investigations and audits to be initiated or conducted by the Internal Revenue
Service in a discriminatory manner, including harassment and intimidation of
conservative, evangelical and Tea Party groups applying for non-profit status
between 2010 and 2012.
Elements of this illegal
conduct include the facts that: (1) the head of the Internal Revenue Service
tax-exempt organization division, Lois Lerner, admitted during a telephonic
press event that illegal targeting occurred, then invoked her Fifth Amendment
right and refused to answer questions before Congress about the targeting out
of fear of self-incrimination; (2) two other career Internal Revenue Service
employees stated that they acted at the behest of superiors in Washington --
Carter Hull, a retired Internal Revenue Service Attorney and Elizabeth Hofacre,
an employee of the Cincinnati IRS office which oversaw tax-exempt applications;
and (3) Carter Hull stated that he was directed to forward the targeted
applications to, among others, one of only two political appointees in the
Internal Revenue Service Chief Counsel William Wilkins.
ARTICLE 6
He has (1) authorized and
permitted the National Security Agency to conduct or continue electronic
surveillance of over 300 million average Americans; (2) given access to
National Security Agency surveillance data to other intelligence units within
the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secret Service, the Department of
Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in violation of the law; and
(3) conducted the surveillance of average Americans unconstrained by Congress,
the United States Supreme Court or the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court which has, to this date, functioned as a rubber stamp, having approved
every request made of it in 2012 and rejecting only two of the 8,591 requests
submitted between 2008 and 2012.
ARTICLE 7
He has authorized and
permitted the Department of Justice to wiretap and secretly obtain two months
of telephone and e-mail records of Fox News Reporter James Rosen and over one
hundred Associated Press journalists.
ARTICLE 8
He has thwarted Congress
by (1) failing to enforce all or parts of laws duly enacted by Congress,
including the Defense of Marriage Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Affordable
Care Act; and (2) after Congress refused to pass his Dream Act, unilaterally
issuing an executive order directing immigration officers to no longer deport
an entire class of illegal immigrants who came here as children, regardless of
individual circumstances, and to give them work-authorization permits.
ARTICLE 9
He has violated the
Constitution when, on January 4, 2012, (1) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to
appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, actions that were
ruled unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit which affirmed previous decisions by the Court of Appeal for the D.C.
Circuit and the Third Circuit; and (2) he bypassed the U. S. Senate to
appoint Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
ARTICLE 10
He has intimidated
whistleblowers and brought twice as many prosecutions against whistleblowers as
all prior presidents combined. Egregiously, while refusing to prosecute
anyone for actual torture, he prosecuted former Central Intelligence Agency
employee John Kiriakou for disclosing the torture program.
Wherefore Barack H. Obama,
aka Barry Soetoro, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal
from office.
