How Many Would March On DC Demanding Impeachment?

[ThomWV]

Simple question, would you go to DC to march in a demand for the Congress to Impeach?

[tom_paine]

1. Raise hand.

ME!!!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[SemperEadem]

69. ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[commander bunnypants]

2. got my tennys all warmed up.

I would even drag my apolitical wife up there

DDQM

[disgruntled_goat]

3. im on the west coast

so i'll start marching now. maybe i'll catch up :)

[montanacowboy]

4. You need to get some big

organizations to mobilize it -and they will come

[anarchy1999]

5. Where do I sign up?

I'm unemployed, happily married and have been struggling with this notion for several months now. Count me in with my husband's support 100%. It is all we have left to do.

[T Wolf]

6. in a New York minute

Followed by a perp walk on his way to jail.

One can dream, right?

[jus_the_facts]

7. If someone would come by and pick me up and take me with 'em....

....or help with some sort o'travel arrangement to get there....HELL YEAH...'BRING IT ON'!!! :headbang:

[FlemingsGhost]

8. Again, FORGET about the streets of D.C.

Media headquarters.

[genius]

26. Let's go to the Congressional residences

Make them know we are watching them.

[0007]

9. Being 70 and on limited resources and with a few medicals aliments

I'd probably try to make it, but I'm sure my friends would hold me back.

So count me as a maybe, maybe.

[genius]

25. This is great. We need senior, veterans and children's groups

If anyone needs any assistance, we need to work together to get it for them.

[asjr]

36. I'm with you!

Get someone to push a wheelchair and I will carry the banner.

[alvis]

10. Absolutely! n/t

[Skip Intro]

11. yes - not just a march against the invasion, but a march for impeachment

that is exactly what needs to happen

a huge, mega-organized march that would channel all of the angst and anger and fury at what these criminals have done to our nation and her people

It should be organized to the point of, along with individuals driving out, busses chartered to carry people who wouldn't be able to get themselves there

It should be overly massive and definitive - the largest march on DC in our history -impossible for the media to ignore

but I have no idea how it would be brought about - ANSWER, the Dem party, AA, MoveOn, DU, patriotic press - all of the above and more working in unison - with one simple message: "You've failed, You're Fired, Get the Hell Out!"

I would get there somehow

[genius]

12. I would but let's check the numbers in advance

One million won't do it. We need 10 million or more. I think that we can get 10 million. So let's wait until we are certain we have the numbers.

[HFishbine]

13. What charge?

Impeached for what? Make the case.

[genius]

16. Mass murder

for starters

[ThomWV]

18. The Charges Have Been Made

Both Ramsey Clark and John Dean have already made the charges, I suspect that each of those men gave it a lot of thought before they came to the conclusion that reasonable grounds exist for the House to bring charges and the Senate to hold the trial.

[anarchy1999]

42. Thank you.

n/t

It is time to make the march. I'll push the wheelchair, I will thumb the ride, I will walk all the way. I want my country back.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. Lying to Congress is an impeachable offense

and Bush did that in order to start a war.

[HFishbine]

24. Doesn't one have to be under oath

for a charge of lying to congress?

[ThomWV]

30. The Oath Of Office

I would have to think that his oath of office, which requires that he faithfully dispatch the dutys of the office of President would count for something. Is that oath alone not enough to demand honesty from the President in his dealings with the people and the Congress?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. That's correct

[Kali]

28. Screw impeachment

YOU'RE FIRED

[ThomWV]

14. OK, Well, Tell Me, What Groups Have Organized Large Marches?

There have been a lot of large marches before, all of which were organized by someone or another. Who's done it? How do I contact them to make this recommendation? I have no clue.

[genius]

17. The IAC and Moveon working together could pull it off

I don't care for the IAC but the organization gets the numbers.

[bobthedrummer]

15. I got a station wagon and could take whoever would want to go.

Or we could take buses,etc.-yes, I would go to demonstrate that George W. Bush aka The War President is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors as is Cheney, Rumsfeld and the "Vulcans"--but Congress would have to be receptive or any demonstration would be for nought, just like the anti-war demonstrations.

Imagine a couple of million Americans all headed to D.C. at once, he is a uniter indeed.

[genius]

20. Let's call attention to it by making a big deal on the way to the march

We could do a rally prior to going to Washington D.C. in every state to encourage all our local people to join us.

[genius]

22. IF we get the numbers, we also need to surround the residences

of everyone in Congress.

[BostonTeaParty04]

55. You *are* a genius, Genius!

that is exactly what should happen: state rallies. Get people fired up. Plan, strategize for the BIG MARCH.

I don't want International Answer involved. They turn protests into an altogether different type of event. And they really have ONE agenda: justice for arab/muslims. That's great. But we have to make this a simple citizen action. As pure and simple and free from outside influence as possible.

[Only Me]

64. Sign Me up Too!

I can do local, sorta local and probably Washington.

[KansDem]

21. Include me in!

:hi:

[liberalhistorian]

23. HELL YES!!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!

[RapidCreek]

27. I'd drive there from South Dakota to participate.

RC

[goclark]

31. California Here We Go!

Does votetoimpeach.org have a March planned?

[Jose Diablo]

29. You bet I would but the question is

Why hasn't congress already started impeachment procedings? Maybe congress is a big part of the problem too.

[TankLV]

38. Last time I checked, the repukes controlled everything with safe margins.

I would be a wasted and pointless effort.

No repuke, plus add the dinos, would ever initiate such a thing - even if he and his entire gang of criminals were caught screwing little boys and girls.

The repukes main and only allegience is to the repuke party, with a few dino enablers.

Will never happen.

Now, if we had a plan to keep the repukes distracted, and out of the chambers, and only patriotic dems could ramrod a rushed vote while they weren't looking (just the like repukes do every f---ing day), then it might have some chance of success. But since most of the dems are just too damned honerable and play nice, this will also never happen.

Waste of time and effort.

You'd all just be another "focus group".

[G_j]

44. if being called a "focus group" by Bush is a reason not

to demonstrate, guess who wins?
I don't care what AWOL and Rove have say about us. :puke:

And so what if the repugs control things, the idea is about sending a message. Can you imagine if MLK stayed home because people said it was a waste of time?

a defeatest attitude accomplishes NOTHING, never did, never will

:argh:

[TankLV]

45. Good point, point taken.

nt

[CPschem]

33. Absoulutely- i do live in DC

[guitar man]

34. Let's go!

The Mrs. and I could take both vehicles from Oklahoma and pick up as many as we can carry along the way.

I have had enough of *'s shit,just say the word!

[RobertDevereaux]

35. Count this Colorado guy in! n/t

[loudsue]

37. Well, how 'bout THE THREE MILLION MOM MARCH... and have the moms of

our troops, and the moms of draft-age kids, LEAD the charge?

We should carry placards that read: "Get rid of the entire corrupt, sold-out crowd in Washington!"

"Take back the voting process and elect all new members to ALL branches of government!"

They'll start seeing that they're all in the cross-hairs if they don't do something NOW.

With that, they'll KNOW...that WE KNOW!! And maybe it will make a few of those who are not quite ready to impeach bush take a second look.

We also need placards that say "Give the people back our air waves! No more media monopolies."

"We're taking back our Democracy!!"

I'm ready.

:kick::kick:

[BostonTeaParty04]

56. The congress people who won't vote to impeach?

No problem. We run them out of town. Make them resign. Period.

[LSdemocrat]

39. How would this march be anything but a complete waste of time?

What could this march possibly accomplish given that we have a Republican congress?

[Malva Zebrina]

40. I can understand that logic but

I protested this war for many weekends freezing my ass off in the frozen north here in Maine. We , about a hundered of us, protested on a bridge where the wind blowing over that freezing water was like an air conditioner gone berserk. We once did not even recognize a friend and a familiar neighbor because of all the clothing that needed to be worn including face scarfs.

I will never regret that protest. That action has allowed me to reconcile my conscience, for some reason. We are only the people--we have no clout, if viewed in that way. We were dismissed, not only by our stupid president and his sycophants, but by our own congress ,who I think were playing quite sleazy politics. And that includes Kerry.

So, to a certain extent, I have not the burden of carrying guilt for this unacceptable killing, murder and slaughter in Iraq that has been engaged in with the unmitigated consent of our unelected, quite stupid, wannabee president.

I and many like me did what we could in the position we find ourselves in. Ther is not any guilt

I see his pictures here as he goes on
ANOTHER goddam vacation. He is going on vacation for doing nothing but travel around getting more money for his campaign

WOW, that is really tireing. It takes a lot out of a president to travel around, reaping in the money--so he absolutely needs ANOTHER vacation.


Why is not anyone pointing this out in the media.

He is being irresponsible. He is ignoring the deaths of our sons and daughters in Iraq.

Geez


Can we get this asshole out of here?

[G_j]

41. me!

[Toucano]

43. Where do I sign up?

[LeftofU]

46. count me in!

[Samantha]

47. I have been thinking about this non-stop for the last two days

The problem is even if you could impeach Bush* Cheney would become president. That would not accomplish any change in policy because Cheney determines the policy.

That aside, impeachment is too good for Bush.* It also takes too long. We need Bush* out now. We should demand his and Cheney's resignation. We should start a massive letter writing, faxing campaign to Senators and Congressman demanding their immediate resignation. There are no Constitutional restrictions on a demand for a resignation. If we could build, build, build this effort, the demand for immediate resignation, then we could organize the protests. We have to start doing something right away. Planning an impeachment just won't cut it, not to mention the fact it just won't happen.

Just my opinion.

Postscript: the demands for resignation should include an immediate evacution of Americans from Iraq. Let them fight it out among themselves, but bring our soldiers home where they belong. They should have never been sent there to begin with.

We demand Bush and Cheney resign Now. We cannot wait until the election. We need both of them out Now. Evacuate Iraq Now.

[scottxyz]

48. How about coordinated local marches?

So we don't have to spring for airfare/busfare/trainfare and a DC hotel room?

I think this is a great idea. I think lots of people want to go "on the record" as having opposed the madness of King George - even if the House is too loyal to go thru with an impeachment.

[RetroLounge]

49. How about coordinated local marches?

This is a good idea.

Gety a leader/coordinator in each and every big/medium/small city.

RL

[scottxyz]

50. Could we use MeetUp.com to organize it?

Worked pretty good for other organizing tasks.

[DemLikr]

51. I'm there! All the way from Fort Lauderdale n/t

[BostonTeaParty04]

52. Yes, but with one condition.

That condition is: we don't leave DC until the house votes for impeachment. Period. I am tired of showing up for marches and vigils that are starting to feel like mutual masturbation for all of us activists, and the NOTHING changes. Okay, so maybe a few minds get changed.

I would go to DC and protest right there on the mall until our demands were met. I guess I have so much admiration for Sadr (no, I don't think killing is a good thing), but could you see the American public push back the US Marines like Sadr and followers have done?

We need to find our Inner Fierceness!

I am ready to go today!

***good question, btw**

[Ksec]

53. You betcher ass I would.

[Ksec]

54. So who could organize such a march?

Hafta be a huge name with great organizational power.

Anyone have any ideas?

[BostonTeaParty04]

57. The PEOPLE OF THE United States of America, that's who!

That's a pretty f'ing large and well-known organization.

Believe! We just have to Believe!

Think about it... the media reports on our activities. What is stronger:

1. A group of orgs named X and Y and Z are asking for _______.

VS

2. The PEOPLE of the United States of America have had enough; they demand __________

Remember the press conf this week when Scott McClelland was trying to explain (Monday?) what the uprising was. He kept saying, "an individual", "one individual", "one man".... And bush and the rest of the cabal have been trying to minimize the action by pigeon holing them as "a group". Well screw that. We KNOW it is the Iraqi people who are saying NO to this occupation. It's the people. If it were just a disgruntled GROUP, do you think the entire world would be telling the USA to cool it? No way....

The PEOPLE.........we the people.

[madmax23]

60. This march...

would only demoralize the troops in Iraq. Not a good idea.

Even the Pearl Harbor committee didn't begin until after the war.

Let's not for the sake of our men and women overseas.

[BostonTeaParty04]

62. Sorry to disappoint, MadMax

We are protesting to run a thug terrorist out of town. This is not just about Iraq. It is not just about 9/11. It is about the entire corrupt fascist, earth-raping, misery-creating cabal. In my humble opinion.

Besides, it isn't like we have any national guard left in this country to come run us off! Why is that? Oh... they are occupiers (which is not their job).

The soils of this country are so incredibly vulnerable right now. Not just from 'terrorists', but from any disaster or national emergency.

Oh, don't get me started!

Nice sentiments about 'supporting the troops,' but by NOT taking action now, we will have abandoned them. They have a madman as a commander in chief. And if it takes them 'well after the action' to get a clue, then it does.

[burrowowl]

66. Support the troops

BRING THEM HOME! IMPEACH BU$HCo!

[BostonTeaParty04]

59. 2 million Italians protested on the anniversary; 11 million spanish

protested right after their train attacks.

We don't need an organization to arrange this.

We need fire in our bellies.

Okie doke, I am ready to go!

[Th1onein]

58. Count me in.

eom

[Catherine Vincent]

61. Impeachment is too good for Bush!

Fire that bastard! And Cheney too. We'll just have to deal with President Denny Hasty!

[Hippo_Tron]

68. You mean president Tom DeLay

That will not be a pretty picture.

[Catherine Vincent]

71. No, it would be Dennis Hastert.

Dennis is the speaker of the House, Tom Delay is majority leader. Dennis is the one that sits behind bush and next to Cheney. He is third runner up.

[BostonTeaParty04]

63. Would the Jersey Girls make the CALL to the People?

I wonder.

Now there are four brave women who have some clout.

[thebaghwan]

65. Just Wednesday night I replied to an email about accountability in

government from my House Rep. with a call for bush's impeachment. I'll go!

[AgadorSparticus]

67. if I was anywhere near there, you betcha i'd be there!!

[historian]

70. absolutely

I got knocked around in the 60's during anti vietnam demos - still not too old to be knocked around some more

[mandyky]

72. Someone set up a ride board!!

We need to have a rolling march that lasts until they hear us.

[mandyky]

73. The time is NOW

This PDB is the last straw for me. I definitely have come arouond to LIHOP, if not worse.
