How many people do you think it will take to make Congress realize that they need to hold BushCo. accountable for fucking up the war so bad in order to keep the shit from hitting the fan?

The Conyers petition had 560,000 (?) which doesn't seem like a lot when you realize how populated the U.S. is.

Then, of course, is the afterdowningstreet.org petition which doesn't state how many signers.

How many do you think know what's going on, are pissed but don't know what to do about it?

2. The question is, of the 300,000,000, how many...
eligible voters does that consist of ? If 560,000 is a good number of the eligible voters, then I would be calling them on this.

I believe that would be critical mass - if 1% of the population loudly, repeatedly called for investigations and impeachment that would change the landscape. I believe that more than 1% want impeachment right now but don't think that it will happen - for many reasons - and therefore do not act in any way, shape, or form.

5. Why not? If not impeachment, it could have other ramification such as
calling out the hardline Republicans who think anyone in their party is above the law

7. 61,000,000 voters.
Chimp gets 60,000,000 by hook or crook. The only critical mass is one that trumps those idiots.
