Remember the old saying "something in our story is wrong".
The more and more things are being revealed, about the true nature of our so- called democracy, one would have to ask the question, I think. Is anything right?

When I observe the US from a (safe) distance, I see dictatorship that we once had in my home country. I really think it is too late now. Wait until the first folks start to disappear. Your administration is completely out of control and no one seems to be able to stop it. I mean, how is it possible that Pelosi can command impeachment to be off the table without a single word of discussion? That is nothing else than a complete lack of democracy. DEMOcracy. Your folks certainly have no power anymore. All these pages on Common Dreams are nothing else than the cries of little children. Bye bye...

Go Cindy!
It is not the size of he demonstration that counts as much as the message being delivered.
we have had millions in the streets before... but this has a better chance to be effective.

I just got a call for money for Obama as I was reading this thread so I just said "when Obama comes out for Impeachment, i will consider contributing"
Until then I well keep my contributions for Cindy in California.
Love, Jim

Hi Saila, yeah Cindy has been arrested before, but this time it was after King George posted his ediict. I also don't know if Cindy can get on a ballot in Cal if she has "any" arrest record and if she can now, the law may be changed there before the next election so she cannot. These policticl guys who lurk in the shadows know how to play hardball, but they throw underhanded pitches.

I couldn't agree more. Impeachment is the only answer. It's all we have left. If this last tool fails, our process is broken and gone.

I don't know how our elected representatives can have been so shortsighted as to not have already begun the proceedings. But I do think I have an idea of how they'll be remembered.

EVEN the tame liberal jimmy breslin is calling for impeachment.congress ? congress is to this administration what the washington generals were to the harlem globetrotters.actually,its worse than that-the latter had fun with the former.a good time was had by all.nobody claimed it was real basketball,let alone real life.by leaving bush in place,congress is degrading itself,and our form of gov in the process.best case scenario-even if our democracy avoids an "emergency room" situation,it will take decades to restore it to the reasonable good health it demonstrated during the DAMNED NIXON YEARS.will congress actually let the bushies eat it ?

the only best and real case for impeachment is to number the harmless and poor human beings who have suffered and continue to suffer on account of the blatant untruths that we've all been having to listen to on a daily basis.

The children, the elderly, men and women all who have perhaps in one instant had everything taken away from them, lost loved ones, their homes, everything they have, while we have lived here relatively alienated from the effects of the crime. Cindy knows what this means.

Meanwhile we chalk it up to bad karma, or bad luck, or we illegitimately justify the horrible calamity that our brothers and sisters are having to suffer, until we have to get a taste of that suffering ourselves.

These are the lies people are telling themselves to cover their own murderous sins and truly believe they are getting away with it. When has life on earth ever differed?

Evelyn Smith, Greetings brother,

Cindy has been arrested many times before. Just punch "Cindy Arrested" on Yahoo and it'll take you there.

Cindy Sheehan to Congress, "IMPEACH NOW!".

Congress to Cindy Sheehan, "ARREST THAT WOMAN!"

Un-Common-Dreams,

That thought crossed my mind too. Why such a small group? For logistical mobility reasons? Your guess is as good as mine.

What amazes me is that Cindy is travelling with but **25** or so people in her march.

~ Just 25 souls. ~

25 protesters... ...er ... out of how many impassioned progressives in the USA?
Is this not a very derisory number of people? (or did I miss something, and someone declared that the march should purposely be kept very small for some reason?)

I am reminded of the supposed 'Million Man' march of yesteryear, and other huge get-togethers...

Where's everyone gone? Got lost in Wal-Mart, or hiding under blankets? I can't quite figure this very small turnout.
Maybe, as in the Paul Simon song:

"They've all gone
To look for America"

???

what predators eat eagles?

Would Gandhi pay $60 to get out of jail for peacefully protesting? I think not.

Perhaps the people of California should replace Nancy with Cindy as speaker of the House and then impeach both King Rats...

THANK YOU CINDY! I wish I could join you...

Dear Congressman Conyers,

I can't begin to tell you how disheartening it was to read of Cindy Sheehan's and the protesters' arrests in your office.

As you well know, there is a majority of adamant and increasingly angry Americans out there that have been placing a great deal of hope in you that you will do what this country needs. I am angry and I'm not taking it anymore!

This country DOES NOT belong to the current monkey administration just because Bush has "decided" to grant himself every executive privilege he can muster up.

We have been counting on you! It is time to put an end to all of the INSANITY and IMPEACH, TRY, and JAIL EVERY ONE OF THESE CRIMINALS that are destroying "our" country! Take the lead and stop the insanity before Bush and his henchmen get us all killed.

For the love of God DO SOMETHING!

Bob Dylan said it best: READ IT!
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

I believe Cindy's arrest will ultimately work for us favoring accountability from our Congress and our Holy Warrior and his ship of fools. As correntewire.com states "Cindy forcibly reminds us that Congress HAS THE POWER TO ARREST".

NOTED.

America do not fall once again for this farse, Did you see the democrat political debate? For these folks it is politics as usual ready for the highest bidder, There is NO DIFFERENCE between Republicans and chicken democrats., The two party system is what got us into this mess, STOP buying this B S every four years. If you want real change, then you must really change, Demand or work at grassroots levels to organize new political parties and see that the laws rulling the enrollment of new parties are made to encourage a bigger number of political parties to enroll, and DO NOT let the church mess with state.

It really has come down to the science of propaganda and human will. Is the human spirit indomitable? Or has science and the art of propaganda reached a point-if there exists such-in which "free will" is obsolete and absolutely a commodity that may be purchased. I really do not think that we have reached such a point. The use of terrorism by our government to affect policy that is antithetical to humanity, I think, has peaked in its efficacy; it can only go down now. Too many people are privy to not only the obvious of what is stated in so many comments, but also of such sordid bits in hisory, some of which, one being the declassified documents related to "Operation Northwoods," reveal the nature of unfettered power. History is cyclical, and most certainly we have something to learn from the fall of Rome and also, quite disturbingly, the birth of Nazi Fascism. The so-called Neo-cons and the associated monied interests are driving policy, and they are scared to death. Why are a bunch of Presidential directives being issued right now that pertain to emergency declaration and so forth? Why is free speech, all of a sudden, being more fully assaulted? This would have been done long ago but has not for fear of disovery; it is only being done now as last resort. Bush's Unitary Executive government is losing steam; they all know it, and they are doing whatever they can to reserve, and if possible, gain and exert more "political capital." They are rolling the dice now. They have a few more tricks; quite frankly, maybe Martial Law is close at hand. But you know what? Who is going to enforce it? How many of our troops, who are so badly being abused, are actually going to become little Nazis? A private army may be the answer; but surely, even this seems quite dangerous for those that engage in the coup. How many American communities, what with their police forces and so forth, are going to allow innumerable and illegal kidnappings and constant patrols by uniformed idiots? What about the media? Do you really think that they will choose the side of an embattled wannabe dictator? Seriously, they WOULD be charged with treason once we restored order. It would be INFINTIELY easier to tell the truth, or at least adequate portions of it, conversely, so, I think, the media that conducts better cost-benefit scenarios will choose the side of The People. Quite frankly, I guess, anything may happen at this point. However, I am confident that if we become assertive and LOUD, these spineless neo-cons may begin to divide---and then we conquer; we can turn their own tactic on them. This IS why Scooter was commuted; it will be all too easy, so long as the heat continually is put on, to cause infighting amongst these ideological blowhards. The ball is in our court; it always has been. We possess the ability to discern and clearly and confidently communicate the truth; the carriers of propaganda continually weave a faulty story. As the state of things has progressed, I have just gotten more and more audacious; I suspect the same has been experienced by many. This movement to reclaim democracy in OUR governemnt is, I think, a juggernaut.

Former TV Producer Shares Her Video About Bush's Human Side With Class

Alexandra Pelosi showed a portion of her documentary of President Bush's 2000 campaign to Alan Ross's (pictured left) Political Science 179 class.

Former television producer Alexandra Pelosi showed a group of UC Berkeley students part of her documentary of a "charming, one-dimensional" President George Bush yesterday.
Pelosi, who left NBC News to make her video, spoke to students in Alan Ross' Political Science 179 class after showing a portion of "Journeys with George," a digital video camera documentation of Bush's 2000 presidential campaign.
The video recorded crucial campaign moments during the time Pelosi spent as part of Bush's official press corps. She followed Bush throughout the New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan Republican primaries, documenting Bush's reactions to his surprising loss to Sen. John McCain in the first primary as well as his key victories later on.
But the video's first half focused primarily on Bush's role as prankster, confidante and comedian in the year-and-a-half-long campaign across the United States.
"(Bush) was so charming," said Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco. "I thought some of us were in love with him."

Roger Carter - Send you music to WMNF in Tampa Florida http://www.wmnf.org . WMNF always to the far left of the dial! It's a small community radio station but hey, it's a start. It is amazing the little pockets of progressive thought and action you find even in the midst of wing nut haven.

I think Conyers's refusal to push for impeachment again clearly indicates that politicians are totally useless, and we, the people need to handle the situation ourselves. I applaud Cindy's efforts, but her situation just underscores that fact. It is time for the call to mobilize and remove these morons from Washington D.C. ourselves.

I've found the easiest toll-free number to get through to Congress is 1-800-828-0498. You can call Pelosi with this number too instead using the 202 number that you have to pay for.

Peace activist Sheehan arrested at Congress

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN2337983820070723

What do we do with "No, no Nancy?"

Say say no to "No, no Nancy."

I imagine this is not a felony offense. However, in some jurisdictions, no one can run for public office if they have any arrest record. Don't know about California.

Yes, Reuters posted it as well. "Surprisingly" failed to mention that she was delivering over one million signatures in support of impeachment while noting she refused, when asked, to leave Conyer's offices.

Yes Evelyn. Cindy was arrested in Washington with 45 fellow protesters. I was surprised CNN.com posted it in their latest news, considering most of the propaganda they deliver nowadays which passes as "news".

It is time to take back the country that is being destroyed by republicans, democracts and media.

They call it mainstrream media, but it doesn't represent mainstream america. We should have acted when we saw the smoke, and now we already see the flames.

Is it a fact that Cindy Sheehan has been arrested in Washington DC? Can't find anything about it on the news channels.

ROGER: In my youth I used to go to sleep at night to WBAI in New York with the coolest DJ named ROSCOE who read amazing poetry like "The Tree" by Yevgeny Yepteshenko (spelling?); or "For What Is Man?" by Tom Wolfe (not the novelist). In those days radio was so OPEN to voices of protest, voices of vision. Today it's all Clear channel and the bought and paid for Republican clone machine. THIS is why your songs don't get out. A few months ago I think it was Neil Young writing to ask where all the younger people's protest songs were... and a poster pointed out that Neil can say that now, having the $ and cloud to get his voice into the arena; but for the most part, ANY message not pro war or pro corporate capitalism without conscience has to pass through the gates of hell and then some. I did radio and TV ten years ago and haven't had a gig since! It's harder for progressives to be interviewed on mainstream TV/radio than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle!

contrahiker,

Thanks for the website reference. I am hoping that someone has a connection or knows somebody in the hip-hop industry. Maybe we can also try to get the word out in other areas of the music industry. The Bush Administration has done nada for ethnicity in this country, and we ought to play that up in trying to spread our message. The music industry might be able to help us there. There are a few actors in Hollywood who have gotten involved in the movement. But we need more, and that is why I was urging Michael Moore to help us out with the larger connections. Anyone else you or others know of who might be able to help us is strongly encouraged to do so.

ECONOMICS TRUCK: Your list is a VERY short list. The best examination of this topic I've seen was done by Nick Turse and entitled, "LEGION OF THE FALLEN." One glaring example was the translator Sybil Edmonds, but there are SO many others whose careers have been compromised for doing the right, moral and courageous thing trying to stand in the way of the Bush bang-bang blitzkreig machine.
ROGER CARTER, I especially like this lyric, "They're watching every move you make
Democracy's Sentry
Welcome America
To No Knock Entry."
It reminds me of a very cool song by Jill Scott, "Watching Me." But your first one, "Time for Heroes" has an awful lot of sexism in it... look at the brave WOMEN like Barbara Lee and Granny D and Cindy Sheehan trying to make a difference where lots of men hang back to play follow the leader.

Roger Carter,

You gave me an idea. Does anyone know any hip-hop artists who might be interested in pushing for impeachment? What if we were able to enlist the help of artists like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and others to create songs calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. If these models on television can draw a large crowd for Giuliani and Obama, think about the numbers of young people rap artists could draw to support the impeachment cause. It would educate our youth about the corruption and criminal behavior of Bush and Cheney and how their asses need to be booted out of office, yesterday!

Well they've arrested Cindy and about 29 more who were urging Conyers et al to begin impeachment proceedings. Now as Evelyn questioned earlier, will they seize her home and all of her assets as the recent Executive order signed into law by our petty little tyrant allows? Your majesty's embarrassingly teeny tiny 25 percent approval rating is now officially cast in stone as the highest it will be should you maintain your rule for 18 more months. Why don't you just go ahead and throw every grieving mother who happens to have lost her child and now rerets having sent her son into your holy deathtrap into the slammer?

MADISON21: Well thought out case laid out. It's very optimistic and I thank you for sharing it!

Impeachment now, then beginning the trial.

However, the trial will take time that is true.

It will be interesting for the American public to see the evidence presented in the prosecution and again in the defense during the trial.

Perhaps we will get to see the US government more clearly.

We have all the time in the world to advance the principles of democracy and work on practicing them.

One thing that ought to keep the Democrats from pursuing impeachment is that we may find that they were very willing collaborators in the crimes of the administration. It thus will make it just as hard to vote for a Democrat as a Republican

So let's have an impeachment and a trial and then let's clean house and find human beings to represent Americans in the Congress and Executive Branch

Too right. Time's up. Time's passed. Impeach them both (all?) Today. It's not too soon. I hope it's not too late.

When enough Americans get the gumption to get out in the streets and SHUT DOWN BUSINESS for a few days like has happened in France and China, then perhaps we will get some change. It might be positive like in France or more negitive as in China, but change we will get. I am really tired of this 'Death by a Thousand Cuts' that has been inflicted on the citizens of this country. As We the People get ever weaker when will the time be right to stand up for ourselves. The founding fathers stood up to the British, the Unions stood up to the Pinkertons, what are we going to stand up for?

The Dems weigh political chances rather than simply doing what is right. Maybe they should weigh this: one million signatures is nothing to sneeze at, and the lawbreakers at the top of this administration have the lowest polls ever taken.

Mr. Conyers, and all you other Dems we sent to Congress to stop this war and hold its perpetrators responsible, it's time to step up and show your mettle. Whether the bill of impeachment will pass or not, the voters demand that you put your name in the history books as being either for or against articles which have already been written.

If the evidence produced during the debate doesn't convince America's representatives of probable cause and lead to impeachment procedings, it will certainly fulfill an expressed need of the American people.

So do the right and constitutional thing, and quit weighing possible political futures. It would at least give us some way of telling you from the Republicans.

Re Claudius,

I agree, we have to get the word out that impeachment IS patriotic. We need people with gumption,(see freewayblogger.org) with simple but effective ideas to reach the mass of working stiffs, just like you and me. I'm fed up ! Defend our Constitution, Impeach Them, NOW.

Paul Bramscher,

I would opt for the second option. I have been saying all along that we have the numbers. If we can expand our base by going to the mass media messageboards and keep posting our messages, there are many people who actually agree with us and WANT TO DO SOMETHING! Once we have the expanded base, then we can discuss organization. Along the way you will find a few Bushies who will call you some choice words, but throw a few irrefutable points at them and they fold like cheap suits. What I am saying is FORGET THE POLITICIANS. They are totally unreliable, so we need to handle this ourselves. And the best way to do it is as you point out, in large numbers. That is the first place to start, then you can move forward from there.

I only wish our elected officials had one-tenth the courage you do Cindy! We need impeachment, both to get rid of Bush & Cheney and to send the Democrats a warning--just in case they were thinking of using some of those "imperial presidential powers" when they get elected.

and so you can see that America Stands with Cindy! We are stand beside you in lobbying our "representatives" to do what is right and impeach these bastards

We need to ask ourselves the bigger question -- haven't we already lost something if we need to beg (i.e. protest) our elected officials to do the right thing? Can we even get real change that way?

There's only one of two answers:
(1) A sufficient number of Americans agree with the current leadership, state of affairs, etc. Or they don't care. In this case, we have no right asking for impeachment -- the majority of Americans are well-suited to this style of national leadership, it represents them well.

OR

(2) Perhaps they do care, don't know what to do, aren't organized, etc.

In this case, our job is to lobby & organize our fellow American -- and ignore our corrupt leadership to the best of our ability. The law of raw numbers will eventually kick in. Any remaining leadership will eventually (to put it crudely) have to shit or get off the toilet.

But why waste time banging our heads against do-nothing leaders?

I just called Conyer's office and got through on the first try.
That disappointed me. I had hoped it would take several attempts to reach him.
But maybe enough people will call to make a difference.

all the best

Notice the way the public gets upset over the stories of Michael Vick killing and torturing
dogs, but bush-cheney killing and torturing people in Irag doesn't seem to bother some people.
Just how much more are bush- cheney going to be allowed to screw up this country? Does
someone have to come up with some film of bush at the Vick dog fighting parties making bets to
get some people upset?

Go cindy: Will donate $ if you decide to run. Pelosi needs to be replaced and Cindy is the Woman to do it.

Decent,honourable American People.

The evidence before you is irrefutable.

Rise up

or Shut up

The World prefers the former to the latter - the choice is yours.

Okay, I called my congressman and urged him to support HR 333 and any resolution to impeach Bush. Now that that's done, I'm not holding my breath. Yes, it was a necessary step and anyone who hasn't yet gotten off their ass should do so to be counted as a citizen instead of a mere corporate consumer.

The next step is this: If Congress doesn't impeach and Bush and Cheney serve out their term (if the election hasn't been canceled through martial law before November 2008), we need to impeach ALL of our representatives in Congress who are up for re-election. That's right, ALL OF THEM! If they do not uphold their sworn constitutional duties to protect this country from ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic, then we are the last line - we MUST impeach Congress.

Of course, this means Democrats will have to gore their most sacred cows - other Democrats. Many Republicans are finding the necessary backbone to speak out against Bush and Cheney for the crimes they are committing. It's now the Democrats' turn to speak out against their own for the crimes of omission and co-mission that they are perpetrating. Let's see if the Democratic apologists and me-tooists can muster the guts and integrity to defend what they say they stand for - justice.

As flaccid, feckless, and futile Feingold's censure motion is, our "fearless" leader Harry "Faith Based Initiative" Reid won't even consider that.

So, dear citizen, append a few more choice "f" words into the above paragraph as imagination dictates.

Reid and Pelosi hear us loudly and clearly. There's no way they can't. 54% want Cheney impeached -- that made big headlines. They know exactly what's expected of them.

But according to their calculus, they net more votes if they do not impeach, censure, or in any way hold the President accountable than if they do. They believe they can attract more independents and right wing kooks to vote for Hillary F*cking Clinton (!) than lose base constituents who abandon the party for their unwillingness to meet their sworn duty.

It's time we start poking a sharp stick into their eye for a change instead of the other way around. We're tired of asking. We demand that you meet your oath-sworn obligation to defend our Constitution, not only from these pigs now in office, but from abuse in future generations of would-be pigs empowered by the egregious precedents established by these criminals. This is not optional.

Just what is it about "...so help me God" that you find so repulsive, Nancy? Harry? Are these words as meaningless to you as they are to me, and you're just faking you piety for the cameras? Are you that two-faced, that craven?

Gang, I think we're preaching to the choir, Rebel Farmer & Stiv have the right idea. This is our watering hole where we toss around options, not just pontificate. Start calling, start emailing and start calling your friends to call. Spread the word, make some noise.

Jmjsgoblue,

With apologies, I think you forgot the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
By the way, someone suggested calling the Congress constantly and time after time, and let the phones ring off the hooks, and also sending e-mails after e-mails with plenty of articles on impeachment, keeping the e-mails busy all day.

Listen to Stiv. Jam Conyer's phone lines and email and send letters too. Same for Pelosi.

"Those who seek or want to hold onto their existing power are not about to condemn the man (or his actions) who has done so much to extend its reach." -?

Excessive government secrecy on an unprecedented scale as we are experiencing today does nothing for the people; what it does do is increase and preserve "unconstitutional" governmental power while it covers up fraud and gross mismanagment of U.S. Foreign Policy along with our tax dollars.

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachemnts of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -James Madison

Ludwig von Mises: "Every dictator plans to rear, raise, feed, and train his fellow men as the breeder does his cattle. His aim is not to make the people happy but to bring them into a condition which renders him, the dictator, happy. He wants to domesticate them, to give them cattle status. The cattle breeder also is a benevolent despot."

If Democrats don't take action to impeach the criminals in this White House after taking the time to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his sexual encounters, the people of this nation will have no alternative but to believe that Democrats continue to be ruled by the elitist "secrecy team" whose goal is to undermine the freedom and liberty of "The People" in favor of corporate global interest groups.

The politics and political games by Republicans and Democrats is beyond disgusting!

I am truly ashamed to be a member of the human race. How can I explain Bush's slaughter to rats, skunks, and pigs?

Speaking up against the war is vital for our nation! For all of those who want peace now. People can now use their cell phone to voice their opposition to the war in Iraq. Texting the word PEACE, from any mobile phone, to the number 73223, the numeric spelling for peace, instantly links users to a network of Americans who believe that withdrawing from Iraq is the best way to bring peace to the region. It's about saying 'no' to the war. Michael Klein, a gulf war veteran, says Te goal is to create a peace chain where everyone who believes in peace texts five people and asks them to text 5 more people who stand for peace. Text peace is set to sweep the country and will be too powerful even Bush to ignore. "

Bakunin, do you think they have enough concentration camps prepared to contain forty million of us?

Oh,__ never mind, they will have means of disposal prepared. Glad I don't have any gold teeth or a tattoo. Hey think of it, the moral majority gang will have some fancy lamp shades to display while they sing,__ Onward Christian Soldiers.

The United States has become since the Reagan years more and more corrupt and decadent. The rich get away with whatever they want to and live lives of privilege unimaginable to the rest of us. They have declared their independence from the rest of the country and buy that independence by buying politicians who write laws in their favor. In fact some of the rich ARE those politicians. The middle class is in big trouble--most are in debt up to their necks, demoralized, overworked, and confused. The country is headed for a terrible reckoning....unless, unless...a peoples' movement somehow reignites and spreads--something like the Civil Rights and Peace movements of the sixties and seventies but more militant. There are already maybe 40,000,000 of us who are frustrated and ready to join a movement for drastic change here. We need to start talking to others to get them on board. First action to take is calling Congressman Conyers, your own congressperson, and Speaker Pelosi to demand that impeachment begin for Vice Presdent Cheney. Pelosi's office number is: 202-225-4965

alexnosal writes 'This administration has shown in the past how they deal with dissenters (Valerie Plame, Scott Ritter, etc.)'

You should've used the names Paul Wellstone and Mel Carnahan, both killed in suspicious plane crashes. And "Fortunate Son" author J.H. Hatfield, who committed 'suicide'.

Bush and Cheney are killers, they'll stop at nothing. But they won't have to kill Democrats anymore, since Pelosi and Reid are the perfectly corrupt couple Republicans have always dreamed of.

Who is willing to die for our Constitution? That is what we ask of our armed forces. So Congress, Ms. Pelosi, if you think there might be a danger to our fundamental freedoms, what are you will to sacrifice to save them? If you believe there might be a real threat to our liberties, is it worth risking a career? What are you will to give up? Please think hard.

Woohoo! Go Cindy!

And now if we can get Cynthia McKinney to run for president as an indie or Green....

Evelyn Smith,

I HOPE they DO arrest Cindy Sheehan and things get very ugly very fast.
I for one am quite willing to go to jail.
I'm unemployed, rapidly approaching eviction, and mad enough to chew stovewood.

There is no time better IMHO than TODAY for mass public protest that will bring this country to a halt.

all the best

Gathering of Eagles...Did you know that Eagles live on Carrion? (they eat the dead things they find)

they are feasting from the mess this president leaves

Thank you Cindy!!!

Open letter to Speaker Pelosi:

I just watched Reid say that we have 17 months left for the administration...17 months for the constitution to be locked up...
not free on bail...pending appeal...but locked up...why not commute
the sentence? How about a full pardon for our constitution?
Isn't one day of unconstitutional life excessive? 17 months?
Good lord!!! He also said that you will continue to try to get the president to change course...what was that difinition of insanity?...doing the same thing over and over expecting different
results? Yes that was it. Or as the king has said...fool me...um...whatever. Perhaps he would change course and listen a bit
more (or even listen at all) if you would just put impeachment back where it belongs...as the just and peaceful process our founding fathers gave us to insure our liberty against a tyrant.

I want to echo the sentiment of many
of my fellow Americans. We are not as concerned about
left and right politics as we are about doing the
right thing for our country and our constitution on
which it rests. You have every legitimate reason to
change your course and put impeachment on the
table...as a centerpiece of justice and democracy in
action. What shall I tell the children of this country
when asked why the president can admit to violating
federal laws
(warentless wiretaping) and nobody puts an end to it?
Do we really think he should be able to? What
justification is there to let anyone commit crimes on
such a massive scale? I understand you may have a
conflict of interest if by chance both Cheney and Bush
were removed....so recuse yourself. Lots of Americans
have been forced out of work for far less compelling
reasons and yet never given any credit for it...you
would be celebrated and loved by millions of people
loyal
to our rule of law and our sense of fairness. Is it
really too much to ask to protect us from a further
decline into a neo-con nightmare? They have given you
the last straw on a platter...by refusing to comply or
enforce contempt charges...they have rendered
oversight where they are involved, meaningless and
futile. They have given you a golden moment....you
have no choice! We do not and will not obey a
king...even if he wants to call himself the president.
We the people will start issuing signing statements
that his executive orders don't apply to us and are
unconstitutional. I plead with you again to educate
the public on this issue and consider this matter to
be of grave importance as do so many good Americans.

We the People are waiting...on the left and on the right and
in the middle of the road. Don't let the constitution get run over.

If bush does have Cindy arrested, things could get very ugly in a hurry.

Interesting point Evelyn, probably a bunch more Excecutive Orders already written up he's about to spew forth as he sees his position of power and privilege increasingly being questioned by those of us with a modicum of common sense and shows himself to be the petty little tyrant he always was.

Evelyn, I'm sure he will try every trick in the book, and if it's not in the book he'll make it up anyway. This is going to be a long hard fought struggle. It's just beginning and the world is watching with trepidation. It's up to us to rid ourselves of this "monster on the move".

I still read comments from the typical ignoramus asking for the reasons why Bush and Cheney should be impeached, take your pick:
1) Authorizing the NSA wiretapping of Americans in clear violation of the FISA law;
2) Authorizing the torture of prisoners of war in clear violation of the Geneva Convention and thereby placing our own soldiers at greater risk of being tortured themselves;
3) Authorizing and attempting to cover up the outing of CIA spy Valerie Plame (clearly an act of treason) for political retribution (her husband was critical of the invasion of Iraq)
4) For actively and systematically seeking to deceive citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda and for openly threatening aggression against Iran (as discussed in House Res. 333)
5) Incompetence in their conduct of the war in Iraq (yes they can be impeached just for screwing up) since as Joe Biden rightly put it, "they have not been right about one thing" in regards to their policy in Iraq;
6) Firing U.S. prosecutors for political reasons;
7) Commuting the sentence of law breaker Scooter Libby found guilty of breaking the law by his obstruction of justice… and on and on.

Each of these acts and others justify impeachment on their own merit but together they indicate a clear lack of respect for the people and the laws of our constitution that they have sworn to uphold.
The actions of this administration are fascist.
It is my opinion that to ignore impeachment for such crimes is akin to supporting such crimes and an admission that our constitution is merely a piece of paper with no merit.

You impeached Clinton... when a little head never hurt anybody!

Make your own bumper sticker in a photo or drawing program a personal statement!

Congress, et al....will not start impeachment
of Bush. With all the abuse and arrogance
thrust in their faces , let alone the populace
of our country....don't you wonder...why they
have all "tippy toed" around this issue that
should have been done at least in 2005? I
believe the reason is...."they are all afraid
of throwing the gauntlet...because they "know"
that he has taken over...and are afraid to
find out"!!! No, the dummies will wait until
middle of next year...when "simpleton" comes
on tv declaring martial law...no time for
elections now!!!!
Come on you hypocrites ("bad for the country-rationalization blather")hardly anyone over
the age of 60 - 65 even recognize this country
anymore...so let's face it and find out and
then deal with the truth of the matter.

Wonder if the executive order Bush signed this week will be enforced on cindy? He may have written it because of her.

And don't stop there! e-mail too. Clog everything up!

Call your members of Congress now toll free at 866-338-1015, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803

NOW! Do it NOW!

Phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

Thanks Cindy for standing up to those who have violated the Rule of Law and that continue to insult our intelligence with repeated lies and manipulation with impudence. Our political system is broken, with most of the Democrats beholden to the same corporations that the Republicans serve the interest of, but I believe that we the people deserve to know the Truth of this "War on Terra" and the systematic politicization of the Judicial Branch and so many other usurpations of the Rule of Law too numerous to list.

You are our hero.

Conyer's is frightened. They all are (except maybe Dennis Kucinich) including Pelosi...and with good cause! This administration has shown in the past how they deal with dissenters (Valerie Plame, Scott Ritter, etc.) and it will take a Herculean amount of courage especially when going after any of the Neo-Conservative upper echeleon. In addition to the Bush response, if it does happen, watch the MSM closely which will certainly vilify everyone involved in the impeachment process.
Good luck Cindy!

I suspect the game is going to change a bit when Cindy hands in those 1 million signatures. That strikes me as a high number for these type petitions. Then, the one person you want to turn it in is Cindy Sheehan, or a troop.

We need to keep the heat on Congress, not let this thing fade into the news of the day.

Keep it up, Cindy! Honest people must insist on a change of behavior from the corrupt murderers in Washington.

Cindy, you go, girl! Our prayers...and our actions...are with you. Will you answer A.N.S.W.E.R.'s call for unity?
