October - Impeachment Month

Impeach the Evil Bastard yourself. You can do it. What if all of DU did? How cool would that be! Have you printed your copies today? Why not? Just do it! Do it now!

PS Kindly kick to impeachment :-) and pass it on please. If you tell 2 people and they tell 2 people, if every DUer told 2 people...wow.

1. DIY IMPEACHMENT - citizens CAN begin proceedings...
...and if enough of us do it, these rat bastards will have to listen to us.

Visualize IMPEACHMENT. Then DO something to make it happen.

2. I'm game.
Back in the spring of '04 my representative's response to a question about impeachment from somebody at a 'town hall meeting' was something to the effect of, 'that's what we have elections for.' The election of '04 worked out nicely, didn't it? I'll never forget his response and will be delighted to send him my DIY memorial for impeachment. In fact, I have given up any hope for impeachment via the usual route, so am grateful for the opportunity to initiate the effort on my own. Regrettably, I have no hope of this succeeding either but, at least I'll have made the effort.

Thank you.

11. Oh, that horse is already out of the barn.
B-)

My little old church lady mom used to tell me she was probably on J. Edgar Hoover's list because she was an active civil rights supporter.

9. Looks like DU wants to wait...
until after the 2006 elections when we'll 'have the numbers'. Or, maybe until after the 2008 elections? A couple more years of this won't matter. Or,until Cheney's out of the picture - as if he's not running the show anyway. Or, maybe until we're through with the Foley matter - or, the next hot topic. Or, whatever..........

14. Do-It-Yourself Impeachment Due this Thursday!!! (Oct 12)
Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 12:36 AM by Jodin
The day the nation demands impeachment is almost upon us. This coming Thursday (Oct 12), sacks and sacks of mail will arrive in congress demanding impeachment via the House of Representatives own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).

There's a little known and rarely used clause of the "Jefferson Manual" in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.

That's where we come in. In addition to the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.

STOP WAITING FOR YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ACT FOR YOU.

You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in.

http://ImpeachForPeace.org/ImpeachNow.html

More information on the precedent for submitting an impeachment
memorial, and the House Rules on this procedure, can also be found at
the above address.

If you have any doubts that Bush has committed crimes warranting
impeachment, read this page: http://ImpeachForPeace.org/evidence/

If you're concerned that impeachment might not be the best strategy
at this point, read the
bottom of this page: http://ImpeachForPeace.org/

"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace."
Bush, June 18, 2002

"War is Peace"
Big Brother in George Orwell's 1984
