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

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.

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".

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/23/sheehan.impeachment.ap/index.html

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.

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.

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

Say say no to "No, no Nancy."

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.

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.

The Daily Californian
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."

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

"Gathering of eagles"

what predators eat eagles?

wow, such a colletion of hatred

http://gatheringofeagles.org/2007/07/19/sheehan-blogs-about-goe/#comments

send every one of these fuckers who posted to IRAQ immediately, let's see how big their mouth is then

i posted on their foul site, i don't expect the comment to be approved though LOL. gathering of dung i call it. man i despise people like that.

what predators eat eagles?

`skeeters from the West Nile...

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"

???

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.

Cindy Sheehan to Congress, "IMPEACH NOW!".

Congress to Cindy Sheehan, "ARREST THAT WOMAN!"

Evelyn Smith, Greetings brother,

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

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?

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 ?

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.

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.

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

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...

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?
