Impeachment Activity

   First up for this Tuesday morning is an article about the grass-roots effort to get the ball rolling regarding the impeachment of George Bush, which our congress doesn't seem to want to pursue.

Impeachment Activity

No, unfortunately, not from the Democratic Congress (who still feel, for some unknown reason, that an illegitmately elected office holder, who also happens to be the World's biggest War-Criminal and desecrates the U.S. Constitution each day that he remains in office, is yet entitled to to serve out his full 8 years).

However, several progressive minded activist groups got together in New York this weekend for an "Impeachment Summit": HipHopCaucus.org, Progressive Democrats of America, WorldCantWait.org, Independent Progressive Political Network, Climate Crisis Coalition, AfterDowningStreet.org, Gold Star Families for Peace, A28.org, Democrats.com, ImpeachBush.org, CodePink, for example.

They were brought together by the adamant refusal of Congressional Democrats to even begin any serious investigations of Bush's pre-war lies and ongoing war crimes.

   So, the groups outlined a plan to mobilize the overwhelming 58% majority of Americans who simply wish the Bush regime was over. It was a similar mobilization that swept Democrats into power in 2006.  The goal is simple: to mobilize an even larger majority and thereby create overwhelming pressure on Congress to impeach Bush and Cheney.

Specifically we have a 6-point plan:

  1. On March 17, March on the Pentagon to end the Iraq War and Impeach Bush and Cheney.

    2.    Gather 50 prominent Americans for a press conference on the Capitol Steps to demand impeachment.

    3. Hold Town Hall Meetings across the country on impeachment, modeled after the Vermont Town Meetings that have endorsed impeachment resolutions.

    4. Organize a bus tour from Washington DC to college campuses across the country with the message "Impeach Or Die".

    5. Launch a grassroots advertising campaign called "Bush is Over" modeled after the "War is Over" ad campaign created by John Lennon during the Vietnam War.

    6. On April 28, hold creative local impeachment events across the country, including assembling crowds to spell "IMPEACH!" in large outdoor spaces like beaches, monuments, and parks.

The group wants to build a huge, visible grassroots movement.

This War is not going to ever end as long as Bush-Cheney remain in power.
When the 58% who want this nightmere to end grows to 70-75%, all that remains then is to finally storm the gates.

It is up to "we the people" to literally take the Nation back.
