sign the illinois impeachment petition.
get your red hot impeachment petition here.
had a conference call with karen yarborough last night, as she has gotten calls and emails from all over the world, all but a couple positive.
she asks us all to lobby our butts off for this bill. time is of the essence, as the illinois house is already on overtime.
we hope to deliver a ton of petitions before the session ends. right now it is in rules, and we are working to get it out. it will probably get sent to executive committee. we need public pressure to keep this from being swept under the carpet.
we are working on a plan to get this out into the media. but for now,
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION !!!

9. come on now, this is the real deal.
this is not an online petition to sound off about impeachment. this is a petition in support of karen yarborough, and her real live, legally binding resolution of impeachment. if we can't get it through the majority democratic illinois general assembly, we will never get it through the u.s. house.
let's go, here.

12. let's keep this going.
here is a little more info for ya. give these co-sponsors some love if you can, eh?

Bush Impeachment Online Petition & Delivery

Click here to sign an online petition calling for the impeachment of George Bush. The petitions will be physically delivered to the offices of local state representatives on a date to be announced.

On April 22, a bill was introduced to the Illinois General Assembly by representative Karen Yarbrough calling for the impeachment of George Bush. The bill takes up the issues of illegal spying, torture, detentions without charge or trial, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, and the leaking of classified information.

Quoting OpEd News, “Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utilized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125 (hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born.”

If you’d like to participate in a petition delivery to the representative in your district, note that in the space provided when you sign the delivery. Someone will get back to you. We do not have a date at this time. For some districts the petitions will be mailed.

Press advisories will be emailed and faxed to the media supporting the deliveries. Watch this page for additional support materials and updates on this action. Visit our Forum for additional information.

Proceed to http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/94/hjr/09400hj0125.htm for full text of the Resolution.

Proceed to http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042406B.shtml for additional background.

Proceed to http://www.impeachpac.org/resolutions for other impeachment initiatives.

14. Signed and commented:
"We are a nation of laws. There is strong evidence that this president has violated the law by misleading Congress in matters of war and by illegally wiretapping American citizens. If he and his vice president are not held accountable -- or no serious effort is even made to determine whether they have broken the law -- then we have done more damage to ourselves and our way of life than any terrorist organization could hope to have done."
