Here’s hoping
Dems seem to be doing well in the upcoming races if that poll is to be believed. I think this is a good thing. Note I don’t mean to say that being a democrat makes you a good person automatically, but right now we need some parity in the government to stop the rubber stamp the current administration has.
A couple of worries of mine. 1. I hope that we don’t find ourselves in the same position we did when the Democrats had the whitehouse and the Republicans had the congress…namely legislation grinding to a halt because of the partisan politics (though I am not holding my breath). I also hope we see some more sanity. Namely the repeal to the recent laws enacted to deprive enemy combatants of the right to habeas corpus and the NSA warrentless wiretapping.
Here is what _will_ happen. Democrats will spend the next two years trying to impeach Bush for breaking the law (I am not necessarily against his impeachment, because I think there is enough evidence that he broke the law that a panel should at least look into it). However in the mean time other issues will be overlooked. Like, why haven’t we tried all the people at gitmo yet? Or what in gods name are we going to do about Iraq…Iran…Afghanistan…North Korea…Pakistan…Isreal…outsourcing…the fall of the american auto maker…drug costs for seniors…social security…health care…the deficet…fuel costs…global warming. China is becoming a world economic power, are we ready to compete?
Do-It-Yourself Impeachment Due this Thursday!!! (Oct 12)
The day the nation demands impeachment is almost upon us. This coming Thursday (Oct 12), sacks and sacks of mail will be sent to congress demanding impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).
There’s a little known and rarely used clause of the “Jefferson Manual” in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.
That’s where we come in. In addition to the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org, part of the movement to impeach the president, has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
STOP WAITING FOR YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ACT FOR YOU.
You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.
