Impeachment Now
Saw this at The Peace Tree. Spread it around. Let's get this thing out there.
We the people want impeachment NOW
As they say in civics class, America is a country of laws, not of men. It's time for Congress to stand up and use those laws to rid our country of the men who are systematically dismantling our constitution and ignoring the checks and balances that have always protected our democracy. Bush and Cheney think their administration is above the law. That's un-American, and this July 4th it's time for Congress to re-assert its constitutional authority and stop the administration's obstruction of justice.
Congress can start by demanding answers from the Bush administration about the Iraq war and their illegal spying program, and not backing down until they get them. Cheney won't testify? Subpoena him. He won't come? Hold him in contempt of Congress and send over the police. And if that doesn't work, impeach the guy. We just can't let President Bush and his administration continue to wipe their feet on our Constitution.
Let's celebrate Independence Day by reaffirming the basic, founding idea of our government: No one, not even the president of the United States, is above the law. Sign this petition to urge Congress to act NOW! If enough of us make enough noise, and for long enough, and from all corners of our country, then perhaps this Congress will stiffen it's spine and move to remedy the poison that has seeped into our land for far too long now.
After you've signed the petition and pestered your own Congress critter, join me by copying this post to your own blog, and adding your blog to the list below. Let's take this message of unity and support to every corner of America, and show just how many of us are ready to take back America!

We, the undersigned bloggers of America, agreeing that dissent is the truest form of patriotism, hereby publicly voice our unanimous discontent with the Bush administration and beseech the Congress of the United States of America to provide redress by immediately initiating impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.

Glad to see you posted it!
I'm all for wiretaps and hidden cameras. I have nothing to hide. And just think of all the sex tapes that would resurface? In all seriousness, I respect the way you feel.
I am up very late and I am very tired...as soon as I get going in the morning I will most definitely post this. I myself have already posted concerning this issue and recieved a phone call from the US government within about 15 mins. of posting the article. Please let me know if I can post your site this week as the site of the week....this so very,very important..and, I do get a lot of readers...you may not see many comments...but my count is high. ~Jackie
Thanks for joining!
Let's, thanks (and thanks for adding me).
Kali, easy for you to say--after all, you're a movie star. A sex tape with my face (or any other part) will definitely not make the world a better place.
Moondanzer, of course. And thanks, I'll be honored. Get some sleep.
Chuck, thank you for adding me. I think it's a great idea.
Why bother? It would never happen. In the case of impeachment, Congress would vote strictly along party lines (as they do far too often), far short of the 2/3 majority needed to convict.
Also, Congress can't even stop a war that they were elected to stop. Which brings me to my third, and most unfortunate, point-when was the last time the government represented the people and not special interest groups?
Thank YOU for spreading this via Reddit! =)

You have been Schoozed my friend. You may pick up your scmooze award at http://moondanzerdelivers.blogspot.com
If anyone can scmooze it most definitely is you. Have fun~jackie
All I can say is: I hope all your applicable immigration/citizenship needs have already been taken care of. This administration can be quite vindictive.
Woozie, a wise Jew once said revolution is "impossible until it becomes inevitable." Now, I'm not talking about revolution, but just as I was having a last-scene-out-of-Planet-of-the-Apes feeling when I saw the initial bombing of Baghdad ("They really did it..."), and just as I had a similar feeling when questions about the war started being asked in the main stream media, I do believe in the possibility--the inevitability--of change. It's ironic, but in the end change may depend on Republicans pressuring their representatives to fight the administration, once they realize Bush and Cheney care about them as much as bin-Laden does.
John, my pleasure. I think it's a great idea.
Moondanzer, thanks. Funny, I may be a virtual schmoozer, but I'm a really private person outside this space. That's probably why I like it here.
Scot, not yet (not that it matters. Citizens are now as vulnerable as non-citizens in many ways). I do put a limit to some of the things I could do (like anything that could put me in jail, pretty much), but I have a right to speak my mind and call for impeachment, no? And the point of this post is not to start a fringe group of dissenting revolutionaries but to get a majority of the people to call for impeachment.
Well I finally got around to the petition...I hope I followed the instructions correctly...it is now also posted on my site.
If Bush were impeached, Cheney would be the President!
And this would be better? How?
Please people, think of what you're asking.
Anon, first of all, this is a call for impeaching both of them. Secondly, it's not like Cheney hasn't done exactly what he wanted to do since 2001; he's not missing any power just because he's only the Vice President. No?
Say what you will about Bush, who has served this country so poorly, commuting Scooter Libby's sentence is hardly a crime. It's a prerogative anchored in the constitution. That's one of the things that makes our presidential system different from parliamentary systems. Sometimes our presidents get to act a little like kings.
I’ve Tagged you from my site Let’s Talk About It. You will have to go to that site to read the instructions.
If you don’t like to respond to such meme’s, then just disregard it and trust me, I will understand.
I am not fan of Bush but if you impeach him.. guess who's going to be President.. Cheney... and I think he's worse.. I rather focus on who's coming in next. But it's great that you are so passionate about this cause.
MS, first of all, as I said on Blog Catalog, I just cut-and-pasted this post. Still, I'm not distancing myself from the message. Yes, being a dick is not a crime, but the post itself is talking about a pattern of obstruction of justice that reaches, in the case of Libby, the level of treason. The man, after all, followed Cheney's orders and leaked Plame's name, risking her life, the lives of those working with her, and the knowledge they were all getting, and for what? To get this country into a war that has killed thousands of people for nothing.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here but the impeachment is not about the pardon; rather, it is directed at people like Pelosi who say impeachment is off the table, hoping Bush will turn to compromise on Iraq and on other issues. But as we see from the Libby pardon, this administration is corrupt to the core and as long as these people protect each other no one is left to protect the soldiers.
Let's, I'm honored. As I wrote on your blog, I did it a few weeks ago, but you'll get me next time, I hope. (and I would have retaliated with the Schmooze Award but I saw you already got that).
Asian, thanks for that. I wish I could share your optimism, but a lame-duck Bush Presidency still frightens me as long as he's unwilling to sit back and let the voice of public opinion direct this country out of Iraq. And as for Cheney, I wrote in a comment above what I think about the extent of his limits as Vice President (none).
