BRATTLEBORO -- A presidential candidate and a writer for The Nation will be in Hanover, N.H., Monday night to discuss the history of impeachment. They are also hoping to dispel "myths and misinformation" about the process, said Dan DeWalt, of Newfane, a member of the Northeast Impeachment Coalition.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and John Nichols, The Nation's Washington reporter, will be members of a panel discussing impeachment at the Moore Hall-Filene Auditorium on the campus of Dartmouth College.

Other members of the panel include Army veteran Adrienne Kinne, New Hampshire representative Betty Hall, John Kaminski, Chairman of the Maine Lawyers for Democracy and Tim Carpenter, president of Progressive Democrats.

"A growing number of prominent Americans and organizations have been organizing impeachment educational events throughout the country," wrote DeWalt in an e-mail announcing the event.

This type of forum is needed because the media has ignored the issue, said DeWalt, from his home in Newfane.

"The slant given to it by who the media report on is a political one," he said. It's not about politics, said DeWalt. It's about


the U.S. Constitution and how the current administration has abused its powers to wage an illegal war and has ignored the checks and balances of government.
Because the country's elected representatives have refused to consider the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, said DeWalt, it's up to the citizens of the nation to make it happen.

"It should be investigated," said DeWalt. "Impeachment is a likely thing that should happen."
