Class action lawsuit against Cheney and Bush

A lawsuit was filed late Friday January 14th in the U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. The lawsuit alleges that both defendants have acted outside the scope of their job description in waging a war against Iraq. The complaint alleges that both defendants and others working within the White House and Defense Department have covertly implemented a white paper called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses:” as presented by the Project for the New American Century or PNAC in September, 2000 two months before the murky elections of that year. Among the persons signing the paper were Richard Cheney and Jeb Bush. While the paper was published on the internet, implementation of it by the White House has been in secret.

The class action lawsuit filed by retired attorney and great-grandfather, Doug Wallace alleges that the defendants have violated their oaths of office in entering into a private treaty relating to International relations without approval of the Congress and have made a mockery of the Constitution under a false banner of a war on terrorism.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction against further implementation of the PNAC plan without a 2/3 vote of the congress and a full disclosure to the American Public.

You can visit Doug Wallace's website, but be cautioned that the colors on it will mess up your vision for a few seconds. Whew! He also asks that you print off this letter and send it to the court as a citizen desiring to support the class action. Since Mr. Wallace is a retired attorney, I guess that's an acceptable legal form. You can also donate on his website to help cover expenses.

Good luck, Mr. Wallace. I'm not feeling optimistic.

More on PNAC.
