It looks like our impeachment efforts are making a real difference. On CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Rep. John Murtha raised the possibility of impeaching the president.
"We've already compromised," Murtha said. "And we need to make this president understand, Mr. President, the public has spoken. There's three ways or four ways to influence a president. One is popular opinion, the election, third is impeachment, and fourth is the purse." Host Bob Schieffer followed up, pressing him on whether impeachment was a serious option on the table. Murtha responded, "I'm just saying that's one way to influence a president."
Murtha no doubt cleared his comments with Speaker Nancy Pelosi before his appearance, which would indicate that impeachment is back "on the table" where it belongs. But Murtha is going to get a lot of heat for speaking truth to power, and his staff will be inclined to back off. Murtha needs to hear our support and encouragement immediately.
Call Jack Murtha to thank him and ask him to sign onto Dennis Kucinich's bill to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney: (202) 225-2065.

Tell the Pollsters: No More Excuses
There is no longer any possible excuse for polling companies' refusal to ask Americans whether they support the impeachment of Cheney or Bush. Articles of impeachment have been introduced in Congress. Prominent Congress Members are discussing the topic on television talk shows. Please go here to ask all the polling companies to start asking the question.
On Saturday, April 28th, impeachment events were held in 43 states and several foreign countries. George W. Bush met a major protest in Miami, Fla. The California Democratic Party passed a resolution demanding impeachment at a convention in San Diego hosted by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Citizens on both coasts spelled I-M-P-E-A-C-H with their bodies on numerous beaches. Rallies and town forums gathered crowds and made the news everywhere.
Together, our one voice has brought us this far. Did you really think we would be seeing this two years ago? We did this. We can finish this. Then... We celebrate! then... we work together to rebuild this great nation to all that we know it can be, that it should be, that it once was and shall be again!

Okay...I wrote them. Now if this thing will just work.
I am amazed that so few are calling for this...even after the elections and the expressions of disgust all over the country. The people have spoken, and this is necessary because what happens in future administrations? Always the excuses?
Where are the others, why always the lone voices?
I think efforts have to be stepped up now.
A lot of impeachment activity this week - isn't that great? It's something I can get behind and feel strong about. Move On didn't support impeachment before because they didn't think their members wanted it, but they decided to ask.

I'm following up on all impeachment initiatives. Thanks - you gave me a couple of new ones.
Geroge Tenet's book will add some fuel to this fire. If what I am seeing it clearly states that Bush knowingly lied to get us into war. That is an impeachable offense.
Impeachmetn should be on the table like salt, pepper and Splenda.
I can't wait for Impeachments to start! That day I will buy a bottle of Tequila, some limes, salt, and sit back with my radio full blast celebrating the demise of America's worst DICTATOR ever! Let the proceedings begin!
The most popular Conservative after the Republican debate yesterday said it was folly to go to Iraq. THAT's why he's suddenly a household name.
What part of trainwreck do these other idiots NOT Understand? A part of me wants the Republicans to keep being stubborn- until the cement dries in their new Shoes before the American people throw them overboard- But the rest of me doesnt want ONE MORE SOLDIER TO Come home without an arm or in a box because of this bullshit war!
ITMFA!
