This 28-year old on MySpace has put together one of the most moving videos I have ever seen, of Bush Cheney and the rest saying one thing then exactly the opposite. Alex has captured them in their own words coming from their own mouths. Shame on Democrats, shame on Republicans for not getting it. No one will finish watching this short video unaffected.
What to Do, 10,000 Voicemails Campaign Impeachment groups across the country are setting the goal of leaving 10,000 voicemails for congressmen by the time they return to their offices Tuesday morning. The recent ruling that Harriet Meirs must testify before the House Judiciary Committee in September gives HJC Chairman Conyers the chance to do exactly what former congresswoman Liz Holtzman suggested in the near-impeachment hearings last month. Holtzman back in the '70s was on Judiciary when they were impeaching Nixon. Conyers would say, "this is an impeachment inquiry" which means there can be no pardons or claims of executive privilege. To do so is automatically impeachable, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. Bush claims Executive Privilege, there is only one way to vote. Now you have Holtzman's "Twofer", both Bush and Cheney gone.
On Tuesday morning let the congressmen return from their vacations and conventions to find voice-mailboxes chock-full with renewed demands for democracy. Chairman Conyers must not miss this opportunity. Leave a message with your congressman and say: "When Meirs testifies, as she must, declare this is a formal impeachment inquiry. Conyers must say the word 'impeachment'." This closes the door to the administration's plan to blanket-pardon itself into the sunset, leaving 4200 fine Americans dead over lies, their families heartbroken and with children who will never know their fathers or mothers, unmeasured carnage among civilians who did not attack us, a spat-upon Constitution, and an economy broken for the benefit of the newly rich at Halliburton.
Too many facts, too few sites where you can sign petitions
-- anymore. Even this video is outdated, asking to include Rumsfeld and Gonzales in the impeachment proceedings.
The books have laid out the facts prodigiously -- from Bugliosi's book (The Prosecution of Geo. W. Bush for Murder) to Wm. John Cox's You're Not Stupid! Get the Truth: A Brief on the Bush Presidency and a spectrum of sources between (Charlie Savage's Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Surversion of American Democracy, John Dean's Broken Government), the deception and subterfuge should be clear to all Americans by now.
The truth about this administration is NOT clear to all Americans. Clearly, I need to reread Orwell. Meantime, we all need to reread George Lakoff (Don't Think of an Elephant!) and Thom Hartmann (Cracking the Code) if we are to communicate with the deeply brainwashed and remain hyperaware of the tactics being directed against all of us.

Many point to 1984 as the map of the downfall of democraacy, but the pattern card has been written and rewritten many times throught western history by many who thought God was whispering in their ear that their mandate was to kill those who did not look, think, act or believe as they did. Witness "Protector Cromwell" who thought God told him to erase Catholics and Catholicim from Great Britain---and if he enriched himself and his cronies in the process, it was all for the good.
Fast forward to our oil for bullets mandate now and ask: why does this story keep repeating itself through out history?
