Madame Speaker, We Need to Impeach

[hyphenate]

If we're to save our country from further attack. Any more of this shit, and even our allies are going to come after us!

We can not coddle the psychopath any longer--world peace and survival is at stake. Iran is ready to give us a lesson in tough love because of this dictator, but we need to respond to them with some rational behavior, and not let this bastard get us into another game of chicken.

[Rick Myers]

1. Seconded and recommended!!!

Amen! Someone MUST ACT to save the Nation!!

:kick:

[MaggieSwanson]

25. There is a motion and a second.

All those in favor, please say "Aye!" Any opposed?


(Aye!)
Maggie

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. All we need for evil to succeed...

if for good people to do nothing.

[volstork]

3. AMEN!!!!!

[CitizenLeft]

4. I was one to say "no" to impeachment...

...because it would fail in the Senate, because it would take a lot of time and energy, and because I mistakenly thought...

Never mind.

Today, today, is a new day.

Impeach his ass. NOW. NOW. No more Mr. nice guy shit. He's got to go before he kills us all, for the love of GOD, he's got to go.

Maybe that is the reason why Pelosi and the Dems insisted on getting the most important issues out of the way - minimum wage, medicare, all the domestic issues that are so important. Do it in the first 100 hours, then clear the freakin' calendar and IMPEACH HIM.

[Digit]

9. I had hoped it would happen in the normal progression of things

But his recent call for the "surge", and obvious intention to engage Iran and Syria has convinced me otherwise.

26. Any American thinking the minimum wage is more important than the Constitution, is the problem

"Maybe that is the reason why Pelosi and the Dems insisted on getting the most important issues out of the way - minimum wage, medicare, all the domestic issues that are so important. Do it in the first 100 hours, then clear the freakin' calendar and IMPEACH HIM."


The most important issue is the precarious state of American liberty with an unelected Imperial Executive, gutted Bill of Rights, Constitution in shreds and bogus War On Terra.

Those "most important" "domestic" issues are compeletly worthless (unless you want to focus on survival under corporate fascism) next to that.

More people need the information or understanding of what is really at stake here.

:thumbsup:

[midnight]

5. Come on Mrs. Pelosi let's roll.

Let's do a two for one, and remove both bush, and cheney.

[man4allcats]

18. My sentiments exactly.

I have said from the beginning they needed to go. It may now no longer be merely a question of law but perhaps of our very survival as well. They must be stopped now before they start World War III.

[Connie_Corleone]

6. I've been skeptical of impeachment in the past...but NOW...

This confrontation with Iran should be the last straw for Congress. I'm 100% in favor of impeachment and Congress needs to get a clue. I know the Democrats are worried about public opinion turning against them if they impeach the chimp, but this is about saving our country from more disaster. They must do the right thing.

We're not talking about blowjobs in the White House. We're talking about a madman and a Constitutional crisis!

[Disturbed]

8. GW Bush- High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

GW Bush- High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

1. "A Crime Against Peace." Initiating a war of aggression against a nation that posed no immediate threat to the U.S.--a war that has needlessly killed 2550 Americans and maimed and damaged over 20,000 more, while killing over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children, is the number one war crime according to the Nuremberg Charter, a document which was largely drawn up by American lawyers after World War II.

2. Lying and organizing a conspiracy to trick the American people and the U.S. Congress into approving an unnecessary and illegal war. This is defined as "A Conspiracy to Commit a Crime Against Peace" in the Nuremberg Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory.

3. Approving and encouraging, in violation of U.S. and international law, the use of torture, kidnapping and rendering of prisoners of war captured in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the course of the so-called War on Terror. Note that the Hamdan decision actually declares Bush to have violated the Third Geneva Convention on Treatment of Prisoners of War, which means the justices are in effect calling the president a war criminal. Under U.S. and international law, if prisoners have died because of such a violation--and many have died in illegal US captivity because of torture authorized by this president--the penalty is death (a point made to the president in a warning memo written by his then White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, the text of which is published in full in the appendix of our book).

4. Illegally stripping the right of citizenship and the protections of the Constitution from American citizens, denying them the fundamental right to have their cases heard in a court, to hear the charges against them, to be judged in a public court by a jury of their peers, and to have access to a lawyer.

5. Authorizing the spying on American citizens and their communications by the National Security Agency and other U.S. police and intelligence agencies, in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

6. Obstructing investigation into and covering up knowledge of the deliberate exposing of the identity of a U.S. CIA undercover operative, and possibly conspiring in that initial outing itself.

7. Obstructing the investigation into the 9-11 attacks and lying to investigators from the Congress and the bi-partisan 9-11 Commission--actions that come perilously close to treason. (Former Florida Senator Bob Graham, who headed the Senate Intelligence Committee until his retirement at the end of 2002, has called this the president's most impeachable crime.)

8. Violating the due process and other constitutional rights of thousands of citizens and legal residents by rounding them up and disappearing or deporting them without hearings.

9. Abuse of power, undermining of the Constitution and violating the presidential oath of office by deliberately refusing to administer over 750 acts duly passed into law by the Congress--actions with if left unchallenged would make the Congress a vestigial body, and the president a dictator.

10. Criminal negligence in failing to provide American troops with adequate armor before sending them into a war of choice, criminal negligence in going to war against a weak, third-world nation without any planning for post war occupation and reconstruction, criminal negligence in failing to respond to a known and growing crisis in the storm-blasted city of New Orleans, and criminal negligence in failing to act, and in fact in actively obstructing efforts by other countries and American state governments, to deal with the looming crisis of global warming.


The Democrats’ Impeachment Road Map

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YjVjM2M2N2U3ZjJlNTRiZmYzZjJkYzJiN2RlZGQyYjY=

Couldn't two of most provable crimes be chosen to move forward? It should take more than a month to bring forth the Impeachment for the Senate to vote on. Even if not enough votes for guilty are cast this would show the America and the World at least two crimes of GW Bush. No matter what the verdict, the House should move on the the Impeachment of the VP.

11. K & R. Done. Here's what I wrote:

Madame Speaker:

We have a madman in the White House. You must act quickly to remove this person, or to force him to RESIGN. Please consult with whomever you can to see how this can be done. We are counting on you for this action beginning tomorrow, Friday, January 12. The line in the sand must be drawn before it is TOO LATE.

I know I am not in your election district, but I do have many friends who proudly voted for you.

Thank you for reading this,

17. Thanks!

It definitely helps to have the contact information!

[porphyrian]

10. How much longer can we afford NOT to impeach? - n/t

[EFerrari]

16. Pick a crime. I'm sorry, Nancy, that you had to be Speaker during

this presidency.

But, we really, really need you now.

Please help us make this a country that you'd want your grandkids to grow up in.

[rman]

19. impeach, investigate and convict -

this whole admin. Whatever it takes.

[Kurovski]

20. Kick.

:kick:

[AbbyR]

21. I don't know if they have the will to do it

but if they don't, this country is lost. Pretty soon the rest of the world is going to get sick to death of this little Hitler and take matters into their own hands - and then they will be coming after us.

I hope Congress will do something, but I won't hold my breath.

[rman]

22. Now would be a good time

Impeach, investigate, whatever it takes.

[hyphenate]

23. I called Nancy Pelosi's office today

as well as my rep, Jim McGovern, and told them both we need to impeach. I don't know how much they're listening, but hopefully they are, period.

I think many of us are ready for whatever fight gets started.

[cool user name]

24. Kicking and screaming!

[EFerrari]

27. Impeach, indict, say goodbye, it's time to go.

:kick:

[MN ChimpH8R]

28. First, chimpeachment

of Boosh and Cheney. Then removal from office. Then to the Hague. Then to the gallows with the whole scumbag lot.

[Roland99]

29. Hear! Hear!
