Impeach

President

Bush

Now

The part that really says "petulant jackass who doesn't actually give a rat's ass about anything other than power" is the part where he threatens to stop all CIA interrogations of suspects if he doesn't get to torture people. And the "clarity" bullshit has to stop. There's been 50 years of work on understanding, very clearly, what does and does not violate the Geneva conventions on this issue. It's very clear now. The idea that this legalisation of torture effort is some sort of attempt to "clarify" anything is a giant lie. Do not let that abuse of language, history, and American principles stand. It was torture when the Soviets did it; it was torture when the Hussein regime did it; it's torture if we do it. Period.

You do realize that the Geneva convention does not apply to anyone in Gitmo, right? Furthermore, what you consider torture, what Bush considers torture and what the accords consider torture are all different things? I have no problems with the torture that Bush wants to allow. Considering the police in the US can legally do worse things to you, I'm all for it. While I'm against extreme physical torture, I am 100 percent behind harrassment, humilation, sleep deprevation, and minor abuse (things that leave no marks or do any damage) for anyone who does not fall under the accords.

Impeach Bush yourself! No Joke.
This is much more than just a petition.

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.

memorial, and the House Rules on this procedure, can also be found at

impeachment, read this page: http://ImpeachForPeace.org/evidence/ (http://ImpeachForPeace.org/evidence/)

The Bush administration has once again satisfied my paranoid suspicions, of what can happen when unbridled corruption in any government is allowed to flourish. Bush has unequivocally exposed himself for the kind of two-faced Devil that he really is. Right now as you’re reading this there are a growing number of angry Americans across this marvelous country of ours, who have already signed many of those petitions, urging the President to at least consider the border guards case. But by his contemptible inaction, Bush has exposed his sinister dark side, for all of us to see. Yes a dark side capable of controlling the hearts and minds of his slavishly obedience servants. Perhaps a supernatural power or charisma that protects him, from being forced to answer those embarrassing questions. Bush a religious man, says that he wants to spread a form of democracy in the Middle East. And yet Secretary of State Rice his Wolf in sheep's clothing is hell-bent on the destruction of Israel. Therefore, take your pick on his true agendas! Spreading Democracy all around the world? Or appeasing terrorists filled nations, with American blood and unearned tax dollar donations. I have already made my choice, for the Bush administration has already demonstrated it to me. By its ludicrous open borders policy, and the lack of mercy they has displayed, for those two innocent border guard heroes. We should say what's in our hearts, and not hold any thing back. Therefore it's time to free your-self right now from those politically correct restraints. Speak out with some authority, for the taxpaying citizens are in essence, "America." We need to use what's left of our political power and demand that Bush personally sign that pardon in front of Congress, just before he's impeached and placed in prison for high treason.
