(June 11, 2008, New York, NY) Adam Sullivan, candidate for Congress challenging Rep. Jerrold Nadler in the Democratic primary in New York’s Eighth Congressional District, voiced his support for the Articles of Impeachment introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich against George W. Bush.

Mr. Sullivan, who is mounting a well-organized challenge to the incumbent, stated, "The residents of the 8th Congressional District have demanded action against the Bush agenda for years, and have been disappointed by the House and Senate, no matter which Party held the majority.”

Sullivan continued: “I support Mr. Kucinich’s articles of impeachment and full accountability for this reckless and criminal administration. Furthermore, I challenge the members of the House to fulfill their Oaths of Office immediately--to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

The thirty-five separate articles include complaints about the illegal war in Iraq, as well as charges that the President spied “on American Citizens, Without a Court-Ordered Warrant, in Violation of the Law and the Fourth Amendment.”

The Articles go on to accuse the President of “Direct[ing] Telecommunications Companies to Create an Illegal and Unconstitutional Database of the Private Telephone Numbers and Emails of American
Citizens,” and also “Tamper[ing] with Free and Fair Elections."

Mr. Sullivan noted that Rep. Nadler--who has stated publicly that the President and Vice President have
in all likelihood committed impeachable offenses, and who holds the position of Chair of the House
Judiciary Subcomittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties--has been the biggest obstacle to changing these policies.

Mr. Sullivan added, "By taking impeachment off the table, Rep. Nadler and others in Congress have revealed how out of touch they are with their constituents. These representatives are defiling the
Constitution by giving President Bush and Vice President Cheney a pass on war crimes."

"I will use my seat in Congress to address the crimes of the Bush Administration, to mend our badly
battered Constitution, and to restore the tradition of government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
