but we will need to impeach all of the supreme court, the congress, and the presidency since the whole kit and caboodle is corrupt to the core.

12. Inherent Contempt. The House and Senate have the power to hold trials. |

2. I CHALLENGE S-O-M-E-B-O-D-Y running for |
|
president to hold a press conference and lay this shit out plain and clear for the American people. Shit, get Jon Stewart's writers and KO to help make it clear and succinct.
SOMEONE needs to step forward for the sake of our country.
I alternate between feeling hopeless and angry (not just about our political situation, but life in general). I often feel that EVERYONE involved in our current government is compromised in some way for them NOT to be shouting from the rooftops and sounding very clear alarms!!!!
Now, with dickhead's latest maneuvers, he seems to be directly challenging Congress and anyone who disagrees with his God-given (sarcasm) powers. That actually gives me hope that they are NOT all compromised. If he's challenging them, they're not a lemming. Yet.
SOOOOOOO, please, please, please.......SOMEONE WITH A VOICE ENOUGH TO COMPELL THE MEDIA TO GIVE THEM AIR TIME and MAKE IT CLEAR THAT CRIMES ARE BEING COMMITTED AGAINST US, AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTION, AGAINST HUMANITY.
I beg someone to do something. We can have all the marches in the world, but unless the media airs it, it seems so.....sad. Storming the local media outlets (or maybe the corporate media offices???) is an alternative as well.
I don't know, but I'm scared for my daughter and the 1984 scenario manifesting.

He is running for President and he is calling for Impeachment. Do you support him?

8. Of course, and I applaud him and support him. HOWEVER.... |
|
the media doesn't.
It's complete bullshit how things work in this corporate-owned country, but someone like Dennis doesn't ever get his due respect and is laughed off as a left-wing nutcase. He's speaking to the choir here at DU, and doesn't get the opportunity to have his voice heard in the "mainstream."
The situation is so dire that someone who is able to get the media's attention (not like Paris Hilton gets their attention) must speak out. Perhaps Dennis can convince the other candidates that the situaton is so dire for our country - politics be damned - that they can hold a joint press conference. Of course, many egos will need to be put aside to do such a thing.
I honestly don't care how or why it's done, but it needs to be done in order to WAKE UP THE MASSES.

18. I love Kucinich & he has my vote |
|
However, I don't think there are enough of us who support him. Definitely support Kucinich in all ways, but we need to work to hold them accountable & protect this country NOW.

3. just a suggestion, I think this should be done a state basis |
|
ask your local House legislature to put impeachment on the table, cuz, the Congress sure is not listening to us.

11. If a state legislature acts, then congress still needs to act. States can initiate, just as |
|
Kucinich has initiated with HR333.
But if congress won't act on it, it doesn't happen.

9. All other issues are secondary and dependant to a constitutional democratic republic. |
|
Impeachment is imperative.

14. Actually, they can be held in contempt, as we will soon see. But, they are so |
|
squirming to get out of it, to confuse the situation, etc.
An unnamed official quoted saying something is not the law. It is a ruse.
