2. Thank you, Hissyspit.
I mostly really, really want us to be able to look back at this terrible time and know we tried to DO something. I have three nieces under ten.

Please let's keep pushing.

3. Cool
Unfortunately:

"Alexander Hamilton wrote: "The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law."

Note to Mr. Conyers: Mr. Hamilton did not qualify this statement with, "if we have the time, the votes and the go ahead from our suicidal political leadership."

I think * just added a signing statement that precludes impeachment against republicans...

20. At one point the ad for, David's petition was nested in the thing and
the other ad was for democrats.com.

Watching how the system works is sort of fascinating.

13. Great article.
I actually read it all.

Nancy has her own agenda, but we won't go there. There comes a time when we will go there and it won't be pretty.

It's time Nancy. Time to prove you have balls too.

14. Might be worth faxing a copy of this article to every Dem Member of Congress...
... then follow up with each of them and ask if they actually read it, and what they think about it.

Well done sfexpat2000

I hope that Pelosi (& the DLC) reads that article.

The Democratic leadership has failed us. The meaning behind our 2006 votes that gave them the majority has been ignored: we have been slapped in the face.

I don't know if we can impeach George W. Bush or Dick Cheney but I know we must try.

43. The biggest, most humongous, heartiest K&R. If I could K&R a brazilian times, I would!
Great job, Beth! Woot, woot, you go, girl!

My favorite part:

Alexander Hamilton wrote: "The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law."

Note to Mr. Conyers: Mr. Hamilton did not qualify this statement with, "if we have the time, the votes and the go ahead from our suicidal political leadership."

Such powerful writing. Your Shakespeare training always shines through. Once again you have buoyed my flagging hope that we, The People, can eventually stop the criminals.

The most excellent venue for your words. May they roll like the wheels of the unstoppable juggernaut from your left coast across this land gathering force until they roll over this evil administration on our opposite coast.

Now Power, Peace and Love.

I liked that article the first time I clicked over to it from the email link. It was one of the first my eyes were drawn to that day. SO cool! NICELY done. I LOVE the rebranding of the "Fear of Flying" title. It describes the entire situation BEAUTIFULLY. Not just clever. Elegantly clever. And it certainly speaks for me!

SO cool!

53. Some of you smarter people have to clue me in on how to get
distributed. The organizer of our event is chewing his nails because so far the registration is low -- although, that happens every time and we get 3X the registered number of bodies.

So, thanks to Rob, I'm now on a huge learning curve. lol
