>PRESS RELEASE:
>
>Independent Harold H. Burbank, II of Canton,
>Connecticut has announced that he will challenge
>incumbent Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy for
>his 5th District US House Seat in the 2008
>election beginning immediately and run primarily
>on the issue of impeaching the Bush
>administration for lying America into its current
>wars. Burbank, a Canton attorney with an
>international law background, began his campaign
>in reponse to a challenge from his colleague Dr.
>Francis A. Boyle, a renowned international human
>rights scholar, teacher and lawyer at the
>University of Illinois School of Law, who has
>lectured throughout the world that unless the
>damage done to our Constitution by the Bush
>administration is fully restored by the
>impeachment process, the country will devolve
>into World War III.
>
>"It is time to stop kidding ourselves about the
>necessity of impeaching this administration so we
>can end these illegal wars of aggression, get our
>troops home safely, save our treasury, avoid new
>wars, and defend our Constitution," Burbank said.
>"Chris Murphy refuses to do this. He will not
>support Dennis Kucinich's House Resolution 333 to
>impeach Richard Cheney and he will not introduce
>his own articles. I promise that upon election I
>will introduce impeachment articles against any
>executive officer who refuses to end the Iraq and
>Afghanistan wars begun under President Bush,
>refuses to end all US military involvement there,
>and refuses to end funding for any vestige of
>these illegal and immoral occupations. The
>arguments for continuing them are false, do not
>serve the interests of average Americans, and
>threaten our children's futures with unending
>war."
>
>Burbank's campaign has been endorsed by Dr.
>Francis Boyle in a national radio interview, and
>by Dr. Robert Bowman, director of the Star Wars
>Program during the Reagan administration. Burbank
