its time to push for impeachment
i mean seriously his numbers are at all time low, lets start seriously putting pressure on our senators for full on impeachment. If anyone sees actual validity in this idea, message me i am a web professional and i will help with any website or whatever campaign we need to get started to try and push for this. At least get it in public conscience...

1. It is a moral imperative. Someone must introduce House impeachment
It must be done, no matter that the GOP controls both Houses of Congress. It is a moral imperative, after Bush's Veteran's Day speech and today's rewriting of history. Don't let this go.

2. Impeachments can only come from the House. Once a president is impeached
in Congress, THEN the impeachment case goes to trial in the Senate.

Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 09:25 PM by Stop Shrub
lets start pushing our senators, i mean like what we did before vote situation in january to really look into impeachment. At least just get the MSM talking about it, it will limit his power if he is fighting that battle also...we just need to inundate the mailbox's of a few congress people, get them to just finally crack and do the right thing. I think people are gonna be close to ready for this.

26. blm just gave you some good info,
so why are you asking to push senators, don't you mean house members. I think you are jumping the gun, but I do like your enthusiasm!

It would be better to take back the House first in 2006 when we have a clear majority. Then I think it is quite possible as his numbers go further down the toilet!!

8. That is why I don't understand John Conyers. He is a congressman Right?
I heard it only take 1 congressman to start an impeachment process.

17. See my post below
You cannot introduce ANYTHING if you cannot get it to the floor. It is all about the daily agenda, nothing is off the cuff. It is scripted to the max.

18. There has been more than one inquiry in the House.
I imagine Conyers signed on to all of them. They cannot get a hearing in the committee because you-know-who is the chairman.

16. And Hastert completely controls the House agenda, so unless the GOP
turns tail, it ain't happening. Of course, after the 06 elections, SPEAKER PELOSI might be able to do something about it.

5. We have to start in the House. I believe Nixon's approval ratings were
about 31 or so when they started on him.

The time for impeachment is now! World Can't Wait.

9. let's see if we can just stop a supreme court nomination first
if they can't manage a simple filibuster, then we can forget about impeachment.

10. we don't need impeachment to even happen
but if it is a large part of MSM rhetoric then we are seriously taking away almost all of his political capital and weakening him so he cant do any further damage. Also if it is a hot button topic maybe we can have a large 2006 election push to get dems in there to get him out, just like abortion has become only thing that matters in alito (which is idiotic i might add) the dems impeaching bush will be what everyone rallies around and fights.

11. i understand completely, but if we can't get a filibuster going
than any talk of impeachment is going to sound laughable.

19. Because of the postal regs ("anthrax, you see") it would be much better
to send a POSTCARD with a peach on the front, and on the back, where the message is written, simply write IM in large block letters, and sign your name.

Imagine thousands and thousands of postcards with a single peach on the front, arriving at Congress. Media outlets, too! They'd get the drift!

Impeachment will follow.

23. I am totally against impeaching shrub
unless Cheney is included in the impeachment. I could not
take even 1 year of a Cheney presidency.

27. 22 Republican Senators will never vote to convict.
This is not even feasable until after the 2006 elections
