Do you have a moment to help Impeach President Bush?
This administration must be held accountable for its misdeeds. We have considerable work to do and I am going to need your help to make this effort successful. Join me in sending the message to the President, the media, and the American people that we are not going to stand for an imperial presidency any longer

4. Impeachment is not going to happen..
Our time would be better spent getting as many Democrats elected in the upcoming election and the 2008 election in 2 short years.

10. We can do both
and put the Impeachment meme into the atmosphere so it takes on gale force.

The pressure must get to the point of a screeching sound so the Reps have no choice. Long odds under the circumstances but it is our (Yours and Mine) Constitutional obligation to demand impeachment of a criminal administration.

18. If the Dems don't impeach, that would be a crime itself.
How could anybody ever forgive them? If we help them get elected, they'll owe us a favor for helping them out. We must hold the Bushies accountable. If we do what we've been doing and let them slide by once again, they'll keep coming back and getting worse. If these crimes go unpunished, future administrations are more likely to launch wars of agression and commit these atrocities and we'll be sending the message to the rest of the world that Americans stands for this kind of behavior. It won't let that happen! Not on my watch!

16. I and a # of friends have signed on
I hope many, many, many, many more will. There are already enough names to make this a grassroots/mainstream issue.

19. An Immodest Proposal
Empty Envelopes for Empty Promises

An Immodest Proposal to Awaken Sleeping Democrats

by Steve Bhaerman

http://www.opednews.com

With each new revelation of criminality, hubris and incompetence on the part of the Bush Administration, there is one thing I find truly amazing: While the Bush approval numbers now hover a couple of degrees above freezing, the Democrats seem to have made no gains whatsoever. Amazing. But not surprising. At a time when courage and leadership are being called for, the Democratic Party leadership (now there’s an oxymoron rich in irony content) isn’t taking the call. Think of how John Kerry wimped out in the face of very obvious and alarming voter fraud in Ohio. Consider how few Democratic Senators stood against the abuses of the so-called Patriot Act, or who stood with courageous Sen. Russ Feingold in his call to censure Bush. Or how mealy-mouthed the Dems have been in extracting us from an immoral, illegal and ill-conceived war. If the Democrats are the firewall between a proto-fascist regime leading us backward into neo-feudalism, then God help us.

Well, as the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves, and I may have a self-help formula for the millions of us suffering from “outrage fatigue” and ready to play “lead the leader.” I call it the Empty Envelope campaign, and here’s how it works. Over the next month, as the Democrats are gearing up for a campaign year where they are hoping to regain control of Congress, let’s send the Democratic Central Committee empty envelopes instead of donations: Empty envelopes for empty promises.

You use can use a version of the letter I’ve written below, modify it as you like, or write your own original letter in place of or in addition to my letter. The important thing is that it’s not an email, but a genuine mailed letter. If it’s returned to them in one of their own envelopes, all the better. You can even mark the envelope “contribution enclosed” so that they’re sure to open it. And the contribution you are making is far more valuable than money. It is a call for courage, vision and integrity from leadership that has lost its way.

<snip>

Imagine the impact of getting 250,000 empty envelopes. Or half a million. Or a million. Or ten million. Will that get someone’s attention? Well, if they’re still sleeping after all that, we can just consider they’ve been “put to sleep.” But the good news is, we’re still awake, and more of us are awakening every day. Buckminster Fuller once said that applause isn’t for the person on stage, it’s for the audience. In other words, by applauding and seeing who else is applauding, the audience is recognizing itself. May we the people -- those willing to come front and center and be adults in the matter of the “low-jacking” of America -- recognize ourselves and grow in power.
