OK I'm going to get dissappeared....
In Minnesota last night we had our precinct caucuses. I proposed a resolution to have the legislature of minnesota vote to impeach president bush and vp cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors. My name is on the document and it was passed unanimously by my precinct to be sent up to the next level. Funny, there was no argument or disagreement. Not even much discussion, everyone was very much behind the idea. Here comes the double-tap to the head.

9. I sure hope this has legs
Stranger things have happened. The idea for the Peace Corps came out of a precinct caucus in MN, why not the down-fall of the BFEE? (delusions of grandeur, I know)

Here's some words from Sam Adams to keep your spirits up, you've stood tall with the Founders:

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

22. Good for you!
Now let us know about ANYTHING that happens.

Anything that strikes you as unusual. Keep a diary or other records. Record your phone calls (that's legal). Check the credentials of everyone you meet.

And spread the word about what you've done. Maybe this will start the revolution.

31. I was hoping some other precincts did the same
I was talking to my wife afterward last night speculating on how many other precincts put impeachment on their agendas. Hopefully it is hundreds! Glad to hear about yours, thanks.

34. Delta Force, a la CBS's The Unit, will be paying domestic visits to
those who dissent from the current rash of madness. BTW, be sure to support their policy of building a Third Temple

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=215343

which is behind most of this lunacy.

36. Way to go, gilpo!
I couldn't get released from work for the caucuses (I work afternoon-evening).

But Fred Stembottom is already all over this election cycle here in MN and volunteering in several ways. This will be my 3rd election of doing very public duty. This goes strongly against my timid nature but it is other Minnesowdans like you that inspire me to do it.":patriot:

See you on the "hustings"!

41. WE approved the motion at our precinct caucus in Denton Texas
and unanimously sent it to the county convention. I am working to get myself on the Resolution's committee to make sure it is approved at the county level. Then ON TO STATE.

Want to se The TX Dem Platform to Impeach the Chimp?

I know I do.

51. Actually -- I think the more high-profile of a lefty you are, the safer.
At least physically. Or Michael Moore would be dead. And Randi Rhodes would be getting sued by a taxpayer-financed corporation. Oh, wait.
