Making Impeachment Happen

[davidswanson]

Congressman Dennis Kucinich plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney. It's time now for us to follow through by asking the rest of Congress to get on board with the American public, and by letting the media know where we stand.

It's Time to Poll on Impeachment
After the Downing Street Memos proved George Bush lied about Iraq's WMDs, Democrats.com began lobbying corporate media polling organizations to include impeachment questions in their polls. For two years, those pollsters have contemptuously dismissed our requests. But now that Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced Articles of Impeachment for Dick Cheney, it is time for pollsters to include impeachment questions in every poll they take. You can ask them to here:

Here Comes the Veto

The Democrats in Congress have watered their war funding bill down, so that it merely "sets a goal" to end the war. But Bush may follow through on his promise to veto it, and he may do so this Friday. When he does, our response should be to demand of Congress:

No New Supplemental
Impeachment Instead

Let your Congress Member know that you don't want a weaker or stronger or fancier war funding bill. You want impeachment:

1. Thanks David!

Great resource.

It's time to yell:

:applause: IMPEACHMENT!!!! :applause:

[lyonn]

2. If ever impeachment was necessary, now is the time

The hell with the coming election and the ramifications of "going along to get along" bs.

If we don't care any more about our country than this, and allow the bushies, Rovearians, neo-cons to dictate how to interpret the Constitution, laws of the land, bush lying to the people about the reasons for going to war, then we deserve to be dictated to by the bushies. We have lost credibility along with the bushies.

3. Five Get thee to the Greatest Page!!!

And PLEASE, folks, PLEASE note the convenient TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers - whose use doesn't cost you a farthing! You can weigh in for no cost! You can weigh in on this to ANYBODY, House OR Senate! Just for the asking!!!

If you want to back up Dennis Kucinich, and add to his momentum, DO IT! And if you can, call YOUR rep (it does NOT matter whether they're friend or enemy - they STILL need to know how you feel - it might intimidate a republi-CON here and there and render THEIR "resolve" a little shakier) AND SOMEBODY ELSE'S!!!

4. Done. Thank you.

Recommended.

5. No new supplemental, impeachment instead ! Sounds like a plan

I love it when a plan comes together ! Dems are the 'A Team' ! Voted #7 for the Greatest Page.

6. Kick and Rec n/t

7. A time for everything under the sun...especially impeaching!

Now is the moment! Didn't Dennis Kucinich say that?

Thanks for the action guidelines.

8. "It's time now for us to follow through"

Same thing I have said in two other threads. People here bitch about how this will fail, how this will make us look bad. I say BULLSHIT. If we do OUR job and contact Congress regarding Impeachment, then the chances improve that they will do their job. If the Articles go nowhere, we have only ourselves to blame.

[PreacherCasey]

9. Seconded. I've been on the phone to all my friends and my representative all day. eom

[go west young man]

10. Great news!

Amazingly I just found this out today while visiting my wifes family in Voronezh, Russia. It's headline news here along with Yeltsins funeral of course. I can only hope its getting as much attention in the states.
