IMPEACH THE MADMAN
Edited on Mon Jan-02-06 12:18 PM by ray of light



D.U. Friends,

After the 04 election, the Democracy Cell Project began the arduous task of trying to link up progressive causes to fight for democracy and to become a community that would become a bridge connecting progressive organizations while helping people educate, empower, and activate others both locally and nationally.


Now, 06 is here. It's time for the BIG push. The time MUST start now. We MUST fight apathy, fear, ignorance, and job stress and really push ourselves and others to get involved. Knowing how busy people are, we've created the 5 minutes of democracy a day that even the most busy person can do.

This week, we are asking for every D.U er and every blogger to get involved starting right now. On our homepage, you will see that we've posted the assignment and it's very important.

JANUARY 7: National Day of Town Hall Forums on Ending the War


AND...

JANUARY 9: Thousands of concerned citizens will call members of Congress on Jan. 9 and demand the censures of Bush and Cheney and investigations into possible impeachable offenses committed by them. Callers participating in this grassroots National Call for Accountability Day will urge their representatives to cosponsor Rep. Conyers’ bills: H.Res.635 to create a select committee to investigate and to make recommendations on grounds for impeachment, H.Res.636 to censure Bush, and H.Res.637 to censure Cheney.

AND...


JANUARY 31: drown out the Bush regime. PLAN NOW for drum circles, choirs singing, tap dancing, noisemakers, etc. during the speech in your local areas.

The following Saturday, FEBRUARY 4, come to Washington D.C. for a huge message--the END of the Bush regime.


Go to here to see the embedded links:

http://www.democracycellproject.net/index.php

And please email your list, post on other blogs, and share with your community these events and the http://www.democracycellproject.net/index.php homepage as well.


(I'd even appreciate a bunch of noms and kicks too to kick this regime out of office!)

1. Thank you..
Ray of Light.

Please everyone, find out what is needed in your area.

January 7 events can be found at: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/event/

If you are in the NYC area, you are REALLY needed!

Educating people who are just now waking up is critical.

Providing street heat for legislators is also critical.

Being the media is absolutely critical.

In 2006, no one who has any critical thinking skills can afford to sit around and lament.

ACTIONS needed.

21. Yes it does. And it helps to assert yourself by
asking for the specific legislative aid. It's great to keep their names handy.

17. Don't wait for congress. We need to run these monsters out of
the white house ourselves. Even if it is Congress that finally acts, it will be in response to the action on the streets.

Local for San Francisco, but can be copied elsewhere (creativity counts!)

1.New local plan for the SOTU on Jan 31st:
If we're going to succeed in driving out this regime, we need to think big and plan big. Disgust with the Bush agenda has been growing as increased revelations come out about spying and wiretaps-on
top of the war, the torture, threatening Roe v. Wade…
In order to make a critical impact, we need to have 5000-10,000 people gathering in a very public place that represents the Bay Area and will get serious media coverage. Union Square can hold a lot more people and will be impossible for the media to ignore. There will be activities and teach-ins going on earlier in the day (we'll keep you posted).
5:00 pm Rally
6:00 pm BRING THE NOISE! This is when Bush will be speaking and we will drown him out!
7:00 pm Help topple the giant 35ft paper statue of Bush

Could you also join the dcp in the forum and post your information in our forum. It's one of the ways we're trying to help people hook up more easily.

19. The media hoodwinks the politicians as much as it does the public - I have
no doubt that some polls, including from "Dem" insiders, are being pushed onto Dem lawmakers to persuade them that impeachment would hurt Dems more than the GOP.

31. Polling..
...is both such seductive quantification of public opinion AND so easily misinterpeted that it is possible for candidates to be told that the populace overwhelmingly fancies torture and brutality.

I was a Sociology major. It is entirely possible that pollsters are often wrong. No matter how large the sample size...

37. I believe powerbrokers keep Dem lawmakers in line with false polls, too.
I imagine they showed Kerry plenty of polls in the 80s and 90s to keep him from investigating BCCI....

"But, Sen. Kerry, the public doesn't CARE about BCCI and polls show they don't understand it, so let's move on."

Kerry didn't listen to them then and he shouldn't listen to them now.

Look what they said here. Seems they don't want us to tell the world the truth about the NeoCons.

I suppose that's the only answer they have to anything--to talk as if they are tough. Easy enough to do on a blog.

33. That site has something like 300 members


Talk about a lunatic fringe.

That's all there is because there aren't that many people who share their philosophies who can also read and write.
