Demand Impeachment!
Eventful is a website where people can ask for events to be performed in their local area.

The most popular event demanded by those of the D.C. area? Impeachment. Here is the link: http://eventful.com/demand/D0-001-000000054-0

"WANTED BY POPULAR DEMAND:
Impeachment of George W. Bush
Washington metro area
The right to impeach public officials is secured by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Sections 2 and 3, which discuss the procedure, and in Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: “the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This is because the vice president can hardly be considered a disinterested party—if his or her boss is forced out of office he or she is next in line for the top job!"

1. Treason, by means of the Iranian abuse of US intelligence...
"Patrick Lang, former director of the intelligence agency's Middle
East branch, said he had been told by colleagues in the intelligence
community that Chalabi's U.S.-funded program to provide information
about weapons of mass destruction and insurgents was effectively an
Iranian intelligence operation. "They knew exactly
what we were up to," he said.

'Sophisticated' operation. He described it as "one of the most sophisticated and successful
intelligence operations in history."

"I'm a spook. I appreciate good work. This was good work," he said.""

Bushco apparently work for Iran.

2. Impeachment's too good for this crowd!
Really, I'm beyond impeachment when it comes to this gang of thugs and cutthroats. They need to be tried, convicted, and put into prison!

They cannot be "let off." Consider that many Bushistas of today were connected to the Reagan/BushI Iran-Contra debacle, or were connected to the administration during that lapse of good judgment. If we don't put them away this time, they'll only be back to do more damage.
