Dear Four Reasons Reader:
Something truly amazing has happened. George W Bush was re-selected by god so that he and his administration can be held accountable for a premeditated war of aggression- the highest international crime.
There has been a tremendous effort underway since January of 2003 to bring up charges of impeachment as well as to try to bring up criminal charges in the International Criminal Court- which the US is not party to and therefore makes it a difficult task. This motion is headed by Ramsey Clark, Francis Boyle, and a host of serious legal scholars. Impeachment wasn't an option for the main reason that no one wanted to damage their own career or the democratic party.
Everything has changed now.
Some will say impeachment is impossible with the house and senate under GOP control. Well, impeachment itself may be impossible- under 'traditional' paradigms but bringing up impeachment charges is not. All this takes is one brave Congressman or woman to put it on the floor.
I have spoken with Francis Boyle (read his impeachment articles http://thefourreasons.org/impeachbush.htm) and his words are that we must all make it clear to our congressional reps on Nov 16 - when they go back into session- that this is the choice and that they must put forth articles of impeachment to hold the Bush Crime family accountable for their war crimes and crimes against humanity- based in and on a strict interpretation of the principles espoused by our constitution.
We are taught in school that there are three branches of government There are indeed four- the zeroeth branch of government is never discussed because it is implicit by virtue of the others' existence. The fourth branch of government is the People.
The four reasons has been around for 18+months. The site has seen, in the last 5 months, approximately 500 unique visitors a day with an average of roughly 25 search engine hits for "Impeach Bush".
After the selection- yesterday, that is, I received over 400 search engine hits for impeach bush and 2000 unique visitors. In addition My site statistics allow me to see which sites link to mine and what I have found is a relatively massive interest in a motion towards Impeachment.
I have also received several inquiries yesterday from readers on how they can get involved- an oddity based on the fact that I received, on average, as many inquiries per month prior to the selection.
What does this mean to me?
It means we must adopt a new paradigm which suggests that the real power of this country is in the people and if the people put the pressure on- in an organized and informed way- that we drive a motion towards impeachment. While the energy is fresh in our minds we must hold ourselves accountable and extend this level of responsibility to the people representing our interests in the government.
I can hear you like minded cynics out there saying "not possible with a republican house and senate". Let go of this. Shift the paradigm. If you want something bad enough you will have to work really had for it. Shift your strategy. Be disciplined and diligent. Reflect for a while on the circumstances in which our Constitution, and country were born.
Reflect a while on the Constitution. Understand the nature of the high crimes and misdemeanors carried out 'in your name' by the Bush Administration. Reflect on the detailed list of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by this Administration.
Ask yourself if you are being a responsible citizen. If your answer to this is no than it is you who will have to 'sacrifice' some of your time to do what is necessary and to have the resolve to protect the interests of US citizens at home, and abroad,
The election result is no victory for the Bush Administration. If you choose to believe that 'we have them right where we want them" - in full world view, where they can run but they can't hide, and you are willing to be brave, pick up the phone and a pencil, and tell your reps how you feel and, more importantly, WHAT YOU KNOW, and that it is high time to do the right thing, then you have already shifted the paradigm and what comes after will progress with greater ease.
You the people!

>>>Well, impeachment itself may be impossible- under 'traditional' paradigms but bringing up impeachment charges is not. All this takes is one brave Congressman or woman to put it on the floor.<<<
What does this mean? Why does this only need to get to floor? What can be done from this point NON-traditionally?
Good. It will keem them out of the high schools.
Ping and thanks for the email on this NW_AZ!
What does this mean? Please come by and read.
What took them so long? I mean, it's been three whole days.....
</sarcasm>
GOODY GOODY - let them do it. It will only hasten the total demise of power for the most foolish conglomerate of ingrates our nation has ever known.
Right on Schedule, if Bush Won.
The Interesting thing is that EDWARDS didn't wait
for the body to get cold before news comes out that
he wants to be president in 08 ...
Viva Revolution!
LoL! Heehee...
Everything has changed now.
I guess they are free to damage the democrat party now.
Most irrelevant post I've read in a long time.
...And they've got to show more passion. They can't merely move further Left, they've got to get angrier.
Yeah, that's the ticket, Dems. Get angry! Get radical!
You'll flip those darned Middle American red states back to blue in no time!
They have to take both Senate and House first to even think about this. Clinton could get impeached because the congress was under Republicans.
Goebbels would be proud. They can't actually get him out of office but they seek to use the media to spin a leadened albotross over the neck of this administration for the next 4 years.
Not gon' do it. Wouldn't be prudent.
The Zogbyism of the left must stop. Deal in FACT.
Hey, these fellers is real gol-durn legal scholars, er sumpthin.
In a long time? You have only been here a few days.
Since you are on this thread, what can be done NON-traditionally?
I think this guy is a candidate for Secret Service attention. Sounds past tin foil stage.. I mean he is welcome to his opinion.. its just feels creepy..
And who owns the House and Senate again?
55 Republican Senators say NO!
Cynthia McKinney will sponsor the bill, and Tom DeLay will shoot it down just like the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban renewal.
It'll take all of three seconds, and they'll break for lunch.
>>>They have to take both Senate and House first to even think about this.
Wait, you missed something.
The article said that it only needed to make it to the 'floor'. Then it would be taken NON-traditionally.
What is this?
And so the left marches on....
PLEASE DO IT, PLEASE TRY AND IMPEACH BUSH!!!
I'll get out the popcorn...and laugh laugh laugh. Thank god these idiots never learn anything-- Liberalism is like ramming your head against the wall over and over, and wondering if the next time will smart.
The stupidest thread in a long while. Good luck, losers. Try to impeach him. First of all, they will not, secondly, it's so stupid that the thread doesn't even belong here on FR.
You mean it is only a media stunt?
If that is all, I should have posted this under blogger.
I thought there was another avenue, hence my questions.
These people are so delusional. Yeah, I guess a congressman can bring something like this to the floor-and it will die a quick death within minutes.
Not gonna happen. They're a lot more afraid of Dick Cheney than they are of President Bush.

Thanks for the laugh!
Henry B. Gonzales brought up a charge of impeachment against Bush 41 for the Gulf War. He was written off as a crazy old Mexican, which he was.
Some Democrat like the soon-to-be-bankrupt Jim McDermott can introduce a bill of impeachment. It will sit there, and sit there, and nothing will happen.
Agreed. It has been 'forwarded' ;)
Did these fools not get the message? After this election, we are in charge now. The right is starting to wake from its sleep. You don't believe it? Look what happened to Daschle. If anyone tries to mess with our President, the people of this nation should hunt them down and punish them like the traitors they are.
ARREST RAMSEY CLARK! [He's got to have done something illegal .... I am very confident he has!]
I hope they do it. It will demonstrate how out of touch the far left is, and the American public needs constant reminders.
Sounds like another wacky lib coming off a three-day bender and just opening his eyes to the reality of the world...
then passing out again into a delusional dream
Makes me just tingle! I have no doubt there are some libs who are just that stupid.
Occasionally, their response time is better than Domino's.
Then you need to turn me in.

Good point. However, it will introduced by the liberal who needs to solidify their leftist base the most. Could be Jihad Cindy, but maybe not.
Its just what you do when the opposition candidate wins a second term. Of course, now they have to find a misdemeanor. Jay walking would qualify.
I have non-traditional avenues. My response time is prompt thank you very much.
This is hysterical. Three words that should bring terror to these idiots: President Richard Cheney.
I say investigate Soros, Clark, Moore and the whole lot of them to the hilt. They have got to be in violation of a number of Federal Laws. The 1st Ammendment does not give the freedom to plot the overthrow of the government!
LOL
The concept of the democratic (small 'd') system seems to have escaped their grasp...
All I know is that the bill is DOA, Tom DeLay will call it as such in front of the press, and he'll speak no more of it.
Libs don't respect the electoral college or the popular vote. They only respect their misguided marxist treasonous ideologies. By the way, you didn't know that you are just a dumb neandrethal redneck. What gives you the right to speak? (maximum sarcasm)
The left can go ahead with this lunacy and I guarantee that map in 2008 will be even more red, provided the GOP comes up with a great presidential candidate.
That is the 'traditional' impeachment. If you go back and look, something 'NON-traditional' is planned. This is why I posted. To explore what NON-traditional avenues there are.
Dang it. Why didn't Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin think of that? This feller's just too smart for me...
LOL!
Now that is one activism I would love to be a part of!
How do we get that rolling? :)
