There's HUNGER For Impeachment. Will We Feed It? by thepen Page 1 of 1 page(s) |

VOTING ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php
With his usual visionary courage, in introducing H.Res. 333 Dennis Kucinich is saying what we all know, but which most of the rest of our behind the curve politicians are still too afraid to say. The Bush administration, and Richard B. Cheney in particular, has committed high crimes against the people and interests of the United States of unprecedented magnitude. We have created a VOTING action page on this issue which already has over 15,000 submissions just since yesterday.
At the same time you are casting your vote on the action link above, you are ALSO sending a real time message to all your members of Congress expressing your position, together with any personal comments you wish to add, and you can send a letter to the editor of your nearest daily local newspaper, all with one click. We're not afraid of democracy. You can vote yes. You can vote no. We say bring it on. But let ALL those who care about what's happened in this country speak out so that we reflect the true voice of the people on this historic issue.
WHAT WE NEED ARE A MILLION SUBMISSIONS
With a million submissions (15,000 already sent) we can force the hand of Congress to take a stand, to do their Constitutional duty, and to demand accountability from an administration that has brought nothing but death, destruction and financial ruin to our country. It's not as if those voices are not out there, to speak against a president of vice with a 9% approval rating. But it's up to us to reach out to and mobilize the remaining 91% who are not hiding from the truth, and let them know there is a way to effectively make their voices heard.
Who are we going to listen to? Will we listen to the snarky columnist for the Washington Post, who thought she was being just so clever ridiculing those of us who are outraged at the inaction of our Congress to constrain the endless power grabs by the White House. Or will we listen to our hearts telling us that we were deliberately lied into a disastrous, unnecessary, counterproductive and immoral war, the first article of impeachment proposed by Mr. Kucinich?
Will we cower under our beds fearful that only arrogant dictatorship can protect us from some unknown threat of the future? Or will we throw off the intimidation of those who have manipulated the insecurity that they themselves created, when they fabricated operational ties between Iraq and the lone wolf terrorists of 9/11, the second article of impeachment proposed by Mr. Kucinich.
And will we now blunder into an even greater catastrophe by launching another preemptive attack on a country that we could live with in peace with if justice and diplomacy were to prevail. Or will we immediately remove from power the primary architect of both past and future debacles, whose very threats accelerate the drive towards the unthinkable, the third article of impeachment proposed by Mr. Kucinich.
The country is hungry for leadership, for honesty, and for resolution. But most of all the country is hungry for accountability. Elections DO have consequences. Because now at least there are enough votes in Congress to call for that accountability, if only we will speak out in sufficient numbers to demand it. Constitutional crimes MUST have consequences. That is what the Constitution demands if we will honor it. Will we listen to those who have tried to take ultimate accountability off the table, or will THEY listen to us?
VOTING ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php
One wag observed recently that if Dick Cheney were impeached, that would make George Bush president. Who was it who abused his mandate to vet Bush's vice presidential candidates in 2000 to appoint himself? Who was it whose office personally orchestrated the lies passed off to us as intelligence on Iraq? Who was it who masterminded the outing of one of our best assets in preventing the proliferation of the REAL weapons of mass destruction, and all to keep the high crimes they had already committed from being exposed? Who has been the real acting president of the United States all these years?
Yes, let George Bush just TRY to be president without Cheney constantly propping him up with grim warnings about what would happen without him. He won't last long either, and then we the people will finally be free of their incompetent tyranny.

Even Impeachment leaves a loooong way to go.....
Impeachment won't "cure" the cancer in our Government. They have embedded thier PNAC-cohorts into every part of this administration. It won't be as easy to fire them as it is to impeach Bush & Cheney. We have to repeal the 'patriot' act and RESTORE our Constitution IN FULL. We have to clean the rats out of the Pentagon... (isn't Rumsfeld still there directing his "SSB"? Rumsfeld's "SSB" ) We have to RESTORE our participation in the World Court, and replace a lot of "appointees" throughout this administration. We have to stop our OWN proliferation of nuclear weapons before we hypocritically dictate who can and cannot have them. We have to stop being Israel's pitbull, and go back to supporting fairness and justice for all. We have a LOT of work to do AFTER the Impeachment. But first things FIRST: we have to break the Barrier of Silence being enacted against gressroots America by the monopolized "mainstream" media. This is the FIRST step in the Impeachment of Cheney. I have been posting comments everywhere that we need to bury the newspeople in emails DEMANDING they stand up to the monopoly and REPORT the FACTS about the thousands of demonstrators - the hundreds of petitions - the dozens of City Resolutions and State attempts to Impeach --- and the N-E-W-S that Kucinich has filed impeachment papers against Cheney.... all of which -and more- have been trivialized or downright ignored by "mainstream" monopolized media. NOW SOME CLEVER GENIUS HAS DEVELOPED A WAY FOR US TO DO THAT!! http://www.thespotlightproject.org/WhatIsTSP.php Do NOT relax your efforts! Now is the time to REDOUBLE our efforts! We need to back up Kucinich with our threats to strike if his bill dies in committee! Sign the Pledge to Impeach today! Send copies of your petitions to stop the war and to impeach Bush & Cheney to accompany the Pledges to Capitol Hill! http://pledgetoimpeach.org by mary-ann (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 55 comments) on Friday, Apr 27, 2007 at 2:39:45 PM  (0+)

Ralph is 100% correct!
Whining about it to each other gets us nowhere... we need to WRITE THE D.I.Y. LETTER and SEND A COPY to the Impeachforpeace.org people, THEN we have to get out there and table petitions and pledges... the pledge is designed to give the grassroots some leverage when making our demand to Congress.... pledgetoimpeach.org print some copies and take them to the mall - pass them around the neighborhood - enlist some college students to table them... ALL petitions then need to be gathered together and taken AT ONE TIME to congress... pledge to impeach is going to do that. So if you have any petitions, contact admin@pledgetoimpeach.org to arrange to bring them OR send copies of your petitions. Pledge to impeach does NOT ask for any money! It doesn't cost anything to gather signatures. It doesn't cost anything but a few stamps to send letters! If we don't do it and remove these fascists from our government we will no longer have a Republic, it is fast becoming a dictatorship. And that is NOT an 'opinion' it is a FACT! Read Fascist America In 10 Easy Steps Facts are even more frightening when presented in order. Read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's books... what is happening today under the PNAC's has happened before. It shouldn't be a surprise. Too damned bad Americans are so disinterested in History and Psychology. by mary-ann (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 55 comments) on Sunday, Apr 29, 2007 at 11:12:06 PM (0+)
