The Battle for the U.S. Senate: It’s Cheney vs. LaRouche  

by Debra Hanania-Freeman

President Bush’s tenuous grasp on reality is growing weaker in the face of mounting opposition from even his own party, while Vice President Cheney is trying to block bipartisan cooperation in the Senate by any means necessary. Lyndon LaRouche points out that Bush and Cheney have already provided sufficient grounds for removal from office, and that the time had come for members of the Senate to step forward and tell the American people the truth. “If a core of the Senate leadership go to the American people and tell them that this is the way it is, the people will listen,” LaRouche said in his June 16 webcast.
