I just don't really think our democracy is going to be restored without US demonstrating our outrage and determination. www.worldcantwait.net Oct. 5th http://impeachforpeace.org brief video/invitation and concise information on main page concerning reasons for impeachment.
Here are the PDA ones again as well- lots of good info and links here.

2. I'm English
which obviously poses slight technical problems but I'll tell you a story.

The WIYOS, http://truthfacerecordings.com/wiyos/, were over here on their annual visit 2 weeks ago and played at a local pub. In with the chatter about what they'd play next the mention was made of "the President for whom we didn't vote" This was met with instant raptous applause from what the I'd have considered the least politically aware bunch of over 100 or so locals to my complete amazement.

Draw strength from like minded views over here. :)

3. I'm actively volunteering on a campaign
and we phone and walk canvass for a straight Democratic ticket, so we are encouraging voting for that ticket. I have some close friends, most of whom would vote straight Democratic anyway. In my workplace I don't say much about politics. Most of the people I work with are Republicans. I have mentioned and most except the two most strident know I'm actively working on a campaign for Democratic Congressional candidate Andrew Hurst, and that I took the day off Tuesday to meet John Edwards at a fundraiser for that candidate, but I think it's not wise to bring politics into the workplace, not if you want to get along with your co-workers.

4. Why would anyone encourage others not to vote?
I see people around here trying to do that, and I don't understand the point.

8. You know the benefits of a senate majority, right?
It isn't just about the individual senator, or their individual votes.
