"In 1999, the Republican Congress impeached President Bill Clinton after a $60 million investigation by Republican Special Prosecutor Ken Starr found no crimes by President Clinton - except consensual sex. This was a crime against Democracy."
"In 2000, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney lost the Presidential election, both nationally and in Florida. But five Republican "justices" on the U.S. Supreme Court declared Bush the winner by throwing out 175,000 uncounted Florida votes. This was a crime against Democracy."
"George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have illegally occupied the White House since January 20, 2001. In that short time, here's what they have done with the help of the Republican Congress:"
"Announced plans to invade Iraq with 250,000 troops, without Congressional authorization or debate Threatened seven nations with nuclear war Promised America "perpetual war" Let Osama Bin Laden escape from Afghanistan Failed to catch the US weapons scientist responsible for the Anthrax terrorist attacks Attemped military coup d'etat to overthrow populist Venezuelan president Unaffordable tax cuts for corporations and the rich Returned to massive budget deficits by cutting taxes for the rich Raided Social Security despite firm promises Cut health care despite firm promises Made global warming worse by opposing conservation and promoting oil drilling Undermined efforts to protect clean air, water, and national parks Sabotaged key environmental and arms control treaties Helped Enron steal billions from California consumers Secret Energy Task Force Established an unconstitutional shadow government without notifying any Democrats Cabinet of millionaires Iran-contra criminals rehired Detention without charges Surveillance without warrants Right-wing judges Restrictions on abortion Had enough? So have we!
That's why we are calling for the impeachment of:
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney The Republican Congress The Supreme Court 5 Is that impossible? No! Read the Constitution:
Article I Section 2: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
Article I Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
Article II Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Article III Section 1: The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour
Here is our plan:
Step 1: We, the People, will draft the Articles of Impeachment.
Step 2: We, the People, will elect a Democratic Congress in November 2002 with instructions to impeach the President, Vice President, and Supreme Court Justices.
We have the most powerful political weapon in our own hands - the power to vote. (If you are not registered to vote, click here.)
We can use our voting power to win the next election in a landslide and defeat all Republicans.
To succeed, we must use the Internet to mobilize a get-out-the-vote effort on a scale never seen before.
Join us by creating your own e-mail list of Democratic voters. Start with your holiday card list, and add your relatives, neighbors, and colleagues.
We will create tools to help you maintain your list and to persuade everyone on your list to vote for Democrats.
We will also help you connect with fellow Democrats in your area to plan local outreach efforts, such as setting up card tables at supermarkets, libraries and schools.
If we can persuade 100,000 activists to each create a list of 100 voters, we will win the next election in a landslide.

I will elect a Democratic Congress in November to impeach George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Supreme Court 5 "
Dear Democrats: I watched ALL of the hearings after the presidential election. Do you understand how this even got to the Supreme Court?? No, I thought not. Three democrat district judges in Florida ruled with Bush, et. al. It was appealed to the Florida Supreme court...who overturned these 3 fine, fair judges WHO actually (unlike your troops) listened to the facts!!! WHAT A CONCEPT! The US Supreme court sided with the 3 judges of Florida. The system worked! NOW SHUT UP ALREADY!
Tell you what...Pick any wide open piece of farmland out in Nebraska where we can have a good old fashioned ass whoopin' fight. You bring your constipated Gore lovers and we'll bring out the rest of the country and we'll mix it up. Let's just see how tough you crybaby liberal "can't let go of a pissy opinion" types are when the fists start flying and the hair gets pulled.
I'm just anxious to see you're side get a mudhole stomped in them & walked dry.
As a self-proclaimed intellectual (and a beer guzzlin' sleazeball) please allow me to answer that question.
"Chuse" is the alternate spelling of "chews".
During wartime? ..the Democrats are starting this action..we know how Low the stock market can go but how Low can a Democrat really go?
Yes, during wartime.
I was counting on this, among other things, happening to the Democratic Party.
Bill Clinton and his DLC friends taught the Democrats that to win national elections they had to do two things: run as moderates and paint the Republicans as extremists.
They were successful at both efforts. For a time. Long enough to win two national elections.
What I am counting on is that with Clinton gone and the DLC out of power, the Democratic Party will return to its social Democratic roots of populist militancy, gun-grabbing, and racial identity politics. Already one can see that the liberals have siezed absolute power in the Senate. Moderate Democrats are not heard. The likes of John Breaux and Zell Miller are lonely voices in their caucus.
The guys who ran this "Impeachment" effort are the leftists who supported Clinton. The ground troops who Clinton so easily betrayed when it suited his purposes now want to carry on in "his" memory. And they hate us. They hate all Republicans. It is a visceral hatred, very much wrapped up in a self-righteous conviction that only they have the right to rule because only they have the right answers.
This militancy is already rampant in the Black Caucus and among the Washington Democratic Party apparat, among other groups. It is also joined by the powerful Hollywood monied elite and the Bay Area dotcom crowd. They are very resentful and have a sense of grievance that I have seen in other times and other places, notably in Weimar Germany.
We can sieze on this militancy for our own ends. Remember how Clinton undid us to his own ends: he painted us as extremists. Some of us cooperated rather unwittingly. Others, most notably the House Managers, did thier constitutional duty. All were labeled as "Clinton haters" by the White House propaganda apparatus.
We must learn the right tactical lessons from the Clintoons while guarding against the moral effluent that was his grand design. The Democrats are exposing themselves as hyperpartisan. There is where we can get them. But we need a good economy to help us along and a victory in Iraq.
Bush needs his lucky rabbit's foot back, that's for damn sure.
Be Seeing You,

Starr found no crimes by President Clinton - except consensual sex.
I wrote to the editor of the Washington Times about this. I said that this wasn't consentual sex -- it was sexual harrassment. Consider:

Uh......it was actually December of 1998.......but I know the Dems don't care about accuracy or truth or anything like that.....
