\r\nAfterDowningStreet.org<\/b> is a rapidly growing coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups, and political activist groups, which launched on May 26, 2005, a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war.\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\r\nImpeachCentral.com<\/b> is a nationwide organization of thousands of activists dedicated to the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for violating the laws of the United States. While the Bush administration has violated the Constitution on numerous occasions, the group is focusing on the lies they told the American people and Congress which led the country into the disastrous Iraq War. These lies were confirmed when the Times of London published the secret Downing Street Memo.\r\n\r\n<\/p>

Dr. Cargill is the Medical Officer for the Office of AIDS Research for the United States.\r\n\r\nDr Cargill has alerted NIH security that I (Boyd E. Graves, J.D.) am a threat to their Institution. Dr. Cargill has even conferred with NIH counsel to seek to bring a lawsuit against me. For the record, Dr. Cargill contacted the NCI archivist, Judy Grossberg in early May 2000. Ms. Grossberg informed Dr. Cargill the HIV flowchart was page 61 of progress report #8 (1971) of the U.S. Special Virus program. THE PRECEDING PAGES ANSWER EVERY QUESTION AS TO THE GENESIS OF THE HIV\/AIDS PANDEMIC.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn March 1970, the United States signed into law PL91-213 (March 16, 1970) which authorizes population control (stabilization) in nations and in parts of nations.
