Do-It-Yourself Impeachment, no joke.
The Citizens’ movement!

The day the nation demands impeachment is almost upon us. On Jan 3rd, sacks and sacks of mail will be sent to congress demanding impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).

There’s a little known and rarely used clause of the “Jefferson Manual” in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.

That’s where we come in. In addition to the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org, part of the movement to impeach the president, has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.

STOP WAITING FOR YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ACT FOR YOU.

You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.

I suppose they mean well, and this could make a few people feel very good about themselves, but it is vapor. A complete waste of time. Someone in Congress is going to try to impeach President Bush just like they have every other President.

Here’s an old UPI piece about some Dems demanding the impeachment of President Reagan “for ordering the invasion of Grenada.” And there were others.

Here are former Congressman Henry Gonzalez’s (D-Texas) Articles of Impeachment against the first President Bush.

Here are the Articles of Impeachment against Clinton (Bill).

Here are some Articles of Impeachment against this President Bush.

If Pelosi takes the House, someone will introduce Articles of Impeachment no matter what these fired-up anti-Bushies do.

This Section 603 of the Jefferson’s Manual stuff goes to the House. If they want to do anything with it, they appoint a committee to determine if there’s anything impeachable to it. These fired-up anti-Bushies cannot simply demand that President Bush be impeached, and holding their breath until he is can legally do them no good.

But this band of anti-Bushies is accepting your money. It’s on their site, and they do accept PayPal!

Follow the money.

I wonder if they give you a dKos t-shirt and Halloween mask with each donation.
