Time to Make a CITIZENS' ARREST!

[tucsonlib]

So Bush actually admits now that he knew about and condoned the torturing of prisoners. And why not? What's he got to fear? After all, impeachment is still "off the table"; The people are distracted by the primaries and the price of gas; Congress won't do squat; And in a few months he'll be heading for a nice, comfy retirement. Same goes for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell and the rest of the gang. Now, fact is, these folks are criminals. Not in some partisan sense - like the way the Republicans branded Bill Clinton. These people committed crimes! Lots of crimes. The evidence is there. In some cases they've even confessed their guilt! So what's to do?
In January of 2003 I attended, along with several hundred thousand other traitorous, anti-American Saddam-lovers, a demonstration in Washington D.C. Our goal was to perform an intervention of sorts. To try to convince the administration that an invasion of Iraq would be not only morally, ethically and financially catastrophic - It would also be a criminal act. Predictably, they ignored our advice, and two months later they embarked on a crime spree of historic proportions.
Now, imagine this:

We choose a day this coming summer when we're certain Bush will be at home in our White House. Ideally, a day when a cabinet meeting is scheduled. We have indictments written up detailing the crimes committed. (I believe such a document already exists for Bush. It just needs some updating to include his most recent offenses.) In the weeks leading up to the event we wage an educational campaign - to convince any remaining doubters or fence-sitters that: A. We're serious, and B. These are in fact actual criminal acts that were committed.

Then, on the appointed day, we march to the White House and issue arrest warrants in the name of the American people.
How many marchers do you think would show up? A million? Five million? 50 million?
Now, I'm not so naive as to believe that we'd accomplish anything substantive - at least in the short run. But I'd be willing to wager that history would one day recognize it as the day that sparked the Second American Revolution. And that schoolchildren would one day be told of both the Boston Tea Party.... and the Great Washington Citizens' Arrest.

Just imagine.....

4. Not a "Mob Action".

A legal exercise of our Constitutional Rights - while we still have one or two.....

3. "How many marchers do you think would show up? "

Sadly, about 50. Let me know when.

5. You're Mistaken - And I Have the Proof

Before the war, when we were in the minority, HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS turned out in Washington - on short notice and with a minimum of prior publicity.

See you there!
