Impeachment Happening in Congress Right Now
Congressman Dennis Kucinich is on the floor of the House of Representatives right now introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Yes, 35. He'll be reading for a while.

Watch C-Span Now!

If you don't have cable, go to a bar and tell them to put it on C-Span 1!

Or watch at the Video/Audio tab at
http://c-span.org

Take your laptop outside and turn the volume up!

More details coming later tonight!

Action in the House coming later this week!

Good websites to watch for updates and actions:
http://kucinich.us

http://democrats.com

http://afterdowningstreet.org


Let Justice roll down like waters in a mighty stream . . .



There's going to be at least one article of impeachment that interests you and perhaps even mentions you. Watch for updates.

8. What is the next step?
Does anyone know? Is this sanctioned by Pelosi? Will there be discussion?

26. I'm interested in this too.
Majority vote to get this passed? I assume each article would be voted on separately? This could start the ball rolling....big time!

33. I hope so...
I saw this thread and have to admit my first thought was, yeah, like that would lead to anything. The last 8 years have certainly kicked my optimism out the window.

Dare we hope that these criminals will get what's coming to them - sooner rather than later?

29. The rest of our "Dem leadership" should be watching this.
Maybe a spine can be learned as opposed to grown.

36. Send the politicians a message they will understand
send dk a campaign contribution, make it as significant as you can and be sure to write thankyou on the check. If every reader of left leaning sites sent even $10.00, dk would take in several millions. Then make it hit home for your congressman/senator. Write and tell them that your campaign contributions will only go to representatives who have true political courage--dk!
