Unimpeachably Impeachable

“My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution.... [As was said at] the North Carolina ratification convention: ‘No one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity.’”

Jordan stressed James Madison’s reminder at the constitutional convention that those who “subvert the Constitution” are “impeachable.”

Congressman John Conyers, D-Michigan, also a member of the Committee on the Judiciary in 1974, heard those words. He is now chair of that key committee. Inexplicably, he is now hiding from those words.

Wake up, John. Show some courage.

H. Res 333

So, my Congressional Representative is a middle-of-the-road-but-thinks-he's-liberal Democrat in a very progressive state (OR-3, Blumenauer) who is dragging his feet on co-sponsoring H. Res 333 to IMPEACH CHENEY (first).

I'm going to be working to build up pressure within his district (after all, ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL!) to force him to co-sponsor.  WHY I should have to waste my valuable energy to push a supposedly DEMOCRATIC congressman towards what he should already be doing is beyond me, but hey, I guess that's what I have to do.

Where does YOUR Congressional Rep stand on H. Res 333 ? 

Obviously, if you have a Rethuglican rep, your best shot is to start lining up an opponent NOW who can speak out in favor of H. Res 333 and help to spotlight the Rethuglican's decision to choose PARTY over COUNTRY.

If you have a hold-back Democrat rep (like me) then all you can do is call and call and call.  Call their office.  Call your friends (and ask THEM to call the Rep's office).  Call everybody together to have an "impeachment party" and put pressure on the Democrats to DO THE RIGHT THING.

And, I guess if they won't, then we must elect third party candidates who are willing to caucus with the Dems but will begin to form a strong enough coalition as to have some power.  Also, they will be moving a slow-to-act-progressive Dem out of the way.  IT'S OUR COUNTRY, AND WE WANT IT BACK!!!

Mr. Bohne is a clockmaker and activist. He HATES the US Government, and without stretching the truth (reality) will do anything to dig up dirt on any of these bastards, as long as it's REAL dirt.

"the first man to raise his fists, is the first man to run out of ideas."

You halfwit.  you demonstrate unbridled stupidity by suggesting you have an "elected representative."  Waddya gonna do?  Write the cocksucker.  It's the system stupid, it's dead.  Write anyone you want, write god.  You get just as much of a response.

What are we waiting for?

Mr. Ray McGovern is what one would hope would be the kind of individuals we would have working in public service.

Indeed, why has Rep. Coyners craw-fished on impeachment. One may understand keeping your mouth shut before the election so as not to seem to be butting heads with Pelosi's stupid statement, but with the continued abuses going on, it's not like bush&co stopped committing their crimes just because more people showed-up to vote than even they erase. I truly believe that if they are allowed to follow through on their plans that there may be no 08' elections or if there are they'd be so compromised that bush & cheney could run again and win.

I don't know what they have on Conyer but it has to be something that would put it before his country and his honor.

"I have read"

so the bastard is willing to sacrifice lives and etc to keep his position on the judiciary committee?  Kill him.

With GREAT respect.  GODDAMNIT RAY!, the bastard was never elected!!  We know who, when, and how.  It all starts there, and if anyone wants to do something, then these bastards must be killed.  Or given ONE chance to surrender to custody.
