ATLANTA25 US Representativesincluding two members of the Georgia delegationhave now signed on as co-sponsors of H. Res 635, demanding a probe which could recommend Bushs impeachment, including the initial sponsor, US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Atlanta Progressive News has learned.
If the Democratic Party is able to retake the US House of Representatives, Rep. Conyers would become Chairman Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee, whereas he is currently minority leader on the Committee.
If not acted on this session, the bill would have to be reintroduced next session. It is possible that a new bill could include new language regarding NSA domestic wiretapping.
Sources in Washington DC tell Atlanta Progressive News that H. Res 635 is a venue for coalition among members of Congress who are willing to consider impeachment for a variety of reasons.
Even though H. Res 635 does not specifically reference the NSA domestic wiretapping issue, some Members of US Congress have found the wiretapping issue to be a compelling reason to sign on as a co-sponsor, sources say.

You're right, but thats not the flipside of the statement.
One issue types aren't looking for 'somewhat conservative.' They look for complete adherence to their one fetish issue. It's a mental disorder.
Water pollution?
I say let 'em do it. Put it to a vote. Soon.
Just wait till the lunatics control the White House and the House. This is not doom and gloom, but reality. It really is all over, folks.
I still believe he does this because Hillary requires him to do it - since she's known for intimidation tactics and being the holder of FBI files.
