[Perky]

9. Three actual resposnse to the post and the rest are kicks

tells me alot about the groundswell for impeachment.


Look Impeach will not happen unless Bush officially tell the nation to go Fuck itself. The GOP is in power...they do not eat their own. Besides the GOP undestands that they would get Cheney...Not even they could stomach that.

[Dr. Jones]

14. That's okay if you want permanent bench-time,

there's plenty of players who are willing to step up to the plate and make a difference.

In case you haven't heard, the GOP IS becoming increasingly divided, and Bush HAS basically given the middle finger to the American people in his threat to veto any votedown of the unpopular UAE ports deal.

[klook]

36. Well, Bush has officially told the nation

to go fuck itself. He finds new ways to do that every day.

So here's another non-kick post to this thread that says IMPEACH THE BASTARD!

Here's to the groundswell. :beer:

[Minnesota Libra]

10. HELP !! nothing shows up on the links where do I go to...

....recommend or at least send it to my Senators?? :bounce:

[Dr. Jones]

12. Strange...I see what you mean about the links.

The links I provided are for your own research, not action. They worked when I posted this I thought...but now I cannot edit the OP. Here's what you have to do. Type the link in your browser and put a colon (:) at the end of each link. If that doesn't work, go to Google and type "house resolution 635." The first hit is THOMAS at the Library of Congress - click on that.

HOPEFULLY this will work, thanks for alerting me to this. To take action, simply call the Congress at the 1-800 number I posted in the OP.

[Just Me]

21. This is the first time I've EVER seen a post with so many nominations,....

,...and so few responses. :rofl:

I wonder if we're all assuming our sentiments on this one are so united that there is no need to post a word?

[suffragette]

22. Thanks to John Conyers for sponsoring and to my rep,

Jim Mcdermott, for being a co-sponsor.

25. This is why the sudden demonization of Conyers is going on.

You know, the aids coming out saying he made them babysit and stuff and abused them. One said he "made" her live in their house for 6 weeks while his wife was in school. Thats why that shit is going on. This is to try and make him look bad so no one will take this seriously. I believe the effort will fall flat though.

[Just Me]

27. Geeeeeee,.....I wonderrrrrrrrr.

}( He's a persistent advocate for OUR nation, OUR people, OUR interests. Naturally, the right-wing machine must attack his character. That's SOP for those rat droppings. :grr:

[Swamp Rat]

26. Kickity kick kick kick!

[DemGirl7]

32. yeah, I know

But you never know what might happen. And what makes it even better is that my Representative, Rep. Maurice Hinchey is one of the co-sponsors of the resolution.:)

[SPKrazy]

34. Saw On ABC That Conyers Is Under Attack

Former Aides claiming he had them babysit his kids, and to "menial" tasks for him.

Hmmmmmm,

Sounds Rovian to me

[chalky]

35. Sounds like the S.S. Swiftboat has been launched again.

What can we do to scuttle that?

39. Am I allowed to kick?

:kick:
came across this late...thought it rather important.

[AbbyR]

40. My folks will never vote for it,

but I really wish the media would give it a vote or two by just REPORTING it. Somehow, people have to start realizing what the administration has done to this country. I'm not holding my breath.

[CarlSheeler4U]

41. Dr. Jones. Been pushing it, but need more kick.

Thanks for the coverage, but we need calls to action from more than the readers of this blog thread.

Blogs who help get the voice of everyday folks out are doing the public service that mainstream media is failing to do.

I'm committed to keeping our billboard up and letting people know we hear you and we care.

I'm asking people to do a small thing in support. Contact 10 people you know and ask them to do the same. This will eventually give us back our America.

Those wanting to help can do what many have done and send $20.06 with a commitment to share each month up to the elections.

It all helps keep our billboard up.

48. We have to simultaneously dump Cheney or else we're in worse s*it.

If El Chimpo is forced out, his replacement isn't going to be an improvement.

49. The correct bill should be H.Res.635.IH
