Tell A Friend

By David Swanson (about the author)     Page 5 of 5 page(s)

 Taking the all-consuming focus off the elections that are over a year away would give us a healthier democracy, but we also need to think in terms of electoral threats, or we are taking our power off the table the same way Congress has.  We should promote primary challengers who use the issue of impeachment.  We should promote third party general election challengers who use the issue of impeachment.  Many are already doing so.  To refuse to make these challenges is to fail to grasp the gravity of our situation.  In terms of the presidential race, there is something we've not considered.  If every person who likes Dennis Kucinich but believes he can't win were to send him $100, he would win quite easily and influence Congress immediately. 

 Be the change you want to see in the world. 

 No sleep till impeachment. 

 Thank You.
