Do-It-Yourself Impeachment. Seriously

The subject title came from This Writing

Before the House Judiciary Committee can put together the Articles of Impeachment, someone must initiate the impeachment procedure. Most often, this occurs when members of the House pass a resolution. Another method outlined in the manual, however, is for individual citizens to submit a memorial for impeachment.

According to Rudolph, "Impeachment would lead to the ouster of Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and many others, as they are all equally guilty of war crimes. In an open impeachment trial, the evidence would come out. It isn't the only way we’ll succeed in impeaching Bush and restoring democracy, but it is an important avenue. Let's get it done."

The establishment corporate media, totally at odds with their behavior in 1998 when they ranted from the housetops for the head of Bill Clinton, have to be characterized in terms of psychopathology:
Catatonia: An abnormal condition variously characterized by stupor, stereotypy, mania, and either rigidity or extreme flexibility of the limbs. It is most often associated with schizophrenia.
Stereotypy: Excessive repetition or lack of variation in movements, ideas, or patterns of speech, especially when viewed as a symptom of certain developmental or psychiatric disorders.

I believe the failure to differentiate between criminal and political offenses contributes in a major way to the apparent inability of Congressional leaders to make the case against the regime and raise righteous indignation at the grassroots level. This said, there are crimes and constitutional violations that even Republicans should agree call for Bush's impeachment (and in some cases, Cheney's), including:

Below I grabbed from the Impeach for Peace website, adding a couple of links, though they have the information there as well, for further research. I certainly couldn't put it together better.



Impeach for Peace, a Minnesota-based impeachment group, has researched a method for impeaching the president using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson’s Manual"). This document actually empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves.
"Jefferson's Manual" is an interpretive guide to parliamentary procedure, and is included (along with the Constitution) in the bound volumes of the Rules of the House of Representatives. It is ratified by each congress (including the current one), and has been updated continuously through the history of our democracy. The section covering impeachment lists the acceptable vehicles for bringing impeachment motions to the floor of the House.

Before the House Judiciary Committee can put together the Articles of Impeachment, someone must initiate the impeachment procedure. Most often, this occurs when members of the House pass a resolution. Another method outlined in the manual, however, is for individual citizens to submit a memorial for impeachment.

After learning this information, Minnesotan and Impeach for Peace member (Jodin Morey) found precedent in an 1826 memorial by Luke Edward Lawless which had been successful in initiating the impeachment of Federal Judge James H. Peck. Impeach for Peace then used this as a template for their "Do-It-Yourself Impeachment."

Now any citizen can download the DIY Impeachment Memorial and submit it, making it possible for Americans to do what our representatives have been unwilling to do. The idea is for so many people to submit the Memorial that it cannot be ignored.
Feel free to download it, print out TWO copies, fill in your relevant information in the blanks (name, State, notary is optional), and send in a letter today. There's also extra credit for sending a DIY Impeachment to your own representative.

Hold on to the other copy of the letter until Jan. 15th (after the new congress) when we're having everyone send them in.

That's right — to make a big impact, we're having everyone send it in on the same date (Over 300,000 downloads so far representing over 1 million mailings). We hope to flood the congress with sacks of mail and cause a newsworthy event to further pressure them to act on the memorials. Although, it's important to keep in mind that in the 1830 precedent, impeachment resulted as a result of a single memorial. Yours might be the one.

Investigate,Indict then Impeach All Involved

I want to see wide open Investigations, by this coming Congress that should Already have been done by the Previous as the Proof was coming into the Publics Eyes and Hands. Screw this Bullshit about 'Super Secret Intelligence', we all know how the Intelligence went down!

I want to know what went on behind close doors, at the White House and Congress, and anywhere else the Investigations lead.

I want to see the Names of All involved, from the Administration through Congess, into the so called Think Tanks, and into the Offices of the so call Corporate Leaders of whatever businesses Profitted off of the Many Corrupt Actions coming out of Washington's Power Elite!

I want to know what happened to the Peoples Treasury and in whose hands it ended up in. The lost Billions, the OverPricing of War Profiteering!

I want to know how much is being paid for the Mercenaries, We Have Hired, and how much these so called companies have Ripped us off for, while running free reign causing this countries name and standing to be even more tarnished and putting our Military Troops into even more Danger, by their actions!

I want to know How Much We Paid Nation States to join the so called 'Coalition of the Willing' and the promises made by the lyers and crooks!
There is So Much More, over 6 Long Years, of Corruption of power by the Administration and Congress!

What type of Country and World are 'WE going to leave for those following us? Call me old fashion but I grew up in a Country, and served in it's Military in another Quagmire, who's parents strived to improve their lot for their children, as their parents did before. Not just in wealth but in better living conditions and a much more accountible Government, made up of those we hire to lead us forward, in all area's, not backward for their own wants!

Remember, The World Is Watching also!!!
