Majority believes Bush misled the people
This is the latest from the "Impeach Bush" campaign. Sorry if this is a dupe.

Steps forward for the impeachment movement
Majority of U.S. public believes Bush misled the people
Buses coming from all over the U.S. for September 24

Haunted by the threat of impeachment, Bush has received the news that he dreaded most.

A majority of the U.S. public doubts the United States will win in Iraq and believes Bush intentionally misled the country about Iraq's weapons capabilities, according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll.

Previous Gallop polls have asked the same questions, but this was the first time that over half of those polled - 51 per cent - believed Bush deliberately misled the people when he asserted Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, USA Today said.

As we reported two weeks ago, more than "two-in-five voters (42%) say they would favor impeachment proceedings if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq," according to a recent Zogby Poll.

The war in Iraq is one of the greatest atrocities in recent times. The Bush Administration's combination of arrogance with an utter disregard for the law requires Congress to immediately proceed with filing Articles of Impeachment. Tens of millions of people know with certainty that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and other leading officials lied to them. That is why the impeachment movement has developed as a nationwide grassroots political phenomenon.

On September 24, hundreds of thousands of people will be in the streets for major antiwar demonstrations in Washington DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The impeachment movement is organizing a major contingent for September 24 at the White House.



Undeterred by the bitter cold and intimidation tactics of the police, thousands upon thousands brought the antiwar and impeachment message to Bush's coronation, January 20, 2005.



ImpeachBush.org/VoteToImpeach.org signs and banners will be everywhere that day. Thanks to the support of so many people, the publicity and outreach campaign is in full gear and will get stronger in the weeks ahead. Supporting this campaign makes all the difference.

Listed below are some of the cities that we know are already mobilizing buses and car caravans to come to the September 24 demonstration at the White House. It is already an incredible list that will surely double in size as we intensify our work, getting out leaflets, posters, stickers as well as the phonebanking and national outreach efforts.

This is a huge, national effort and the expenses are great. Every day volunteers sacrifice their time and energy. But we can only succeed with the donations and contributions of people who believe that nothing is more important than holding Bush and other high officials accountable for their criminal conduct. Please make a contribution and tell a friend and family member to so as well. To make a contribution on our secure server, where you can also obtain information to write a check, click here.

Cities already organizing transportation to the White House on September 24 include:

10. This "bad news" is "good news" if... Big IF.
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 09:10 PM by AuntiBush
I dunno. They seem like the "untouchables," but I'm so pessimistic with the powers that are, I just can't see * and Co doing so... they're too arrogant, above our laws and Constitution.

Then again, I have hope that other powers behind the scenes are doing "something," if not for us, their own hides and offspring's future.

Hope. Gotta keep hope and faith.

Edited: Because I now see the links.

29. Hi Aunti!
I always like to think about:

Apartheid in South Africa
The Berlin Wall
Communism in the Soviet Union

All seemed to be unbreachable edifices for a long time, then, almost overnight, one fine day ... they fell! A paradigm shift happened. Let's hope that we're on our way to a big one here at home.

32. Similar to....
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 06:44 PM by AuntiBush
"What goes up, will certainly always come down." Or, "the bigger something is, the harder it shall fall."

I'm thinking of a balloon filling with water. Eventually, it's going to burst. In other words, it's pretty bad now, yet historically the will of the people will triumph over all the corruption, etc.

Maybe I need to believe in a happy ending, giving optimistic thoughts a good try. Sadly, that crashed "hard," on Nov. 3, 2004.

5. We need to remember our troops in Iraq & innocent Iraqis
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 09:13 PM by Erika
Bush doesn't like to talk about his war or the fact that Afghanistan is becoming even more unstable. We need to make him answer for their presence. See www.icasualties.org for info on these hellish wars.

In fact, it might be easier to impeach Cheney first.

26. Is this good news? Can we really hold out some hope?
I'd love to believe "we the people" could make a difference.

Hope against hope.

28. The Majority of people think he misled us, BUT
the next question should be....DO THEY CARE? I would love to see the results of that question. IMO, most of the assholes in this country couldn't care less that he's a damn LIAR. I remember when the LIARS had to admit there were no WMD in Iraq, the sheeple said it didn't matter...then their excuse became, "We took out Saddam and the Iraqi people are better off." :grr:
