One person can make a difference:
I know there are people here that believe we cannot get impeachment through, however, I totally disagree with this. We as a group, can get good representatives and senators into office, and get a democrat into the White House in 2008. That only requires us as democrats going to the polls and voting in masses. By letting, our voices be heard across this great country of ours. That is the easy part.
However, over the next year, we will not get a thing done as long as the current Administration is in office. Daddy Bush will veto any thing and everything other than his own personal agenda. That is the bottom line plain and simple. Not to mention what he could do to the judicial branch of government in the process.
Those of you who sit here and say that we cannot get impeachment through, I say poppycock! One voice turns into hundreds, and hundreds turn into thousands, and thousands turn into millions. All of a sudden, we do have a voice, and a very loud one at that. However, if we sit on our duffs and say Whoa is me, we can't fight it, then you're right, we won't accomplish a thing.
Any and all of you who think I'm right on this issue, please feel free to contact me at the email address below and I will get your voice pointed in the right direction. After I wrote my last post "Make DNC One Voice", I was contacted by several people that are well on their way in getting impeachment on the table. I will be happy to get you into contact with these folks, so your voice can be heard across this great country of ours.

Right now I'm so disappointed in our own party I refuse to donate any money or time to them. Maybe if enough legal voters got on board they would get the message. I'm damn tired of belonging to a wuss party. Bush gets nearly everything he wants and we get crap representation! And they don't care about us except for our pocketbook!
it is as much a symbolic action as anything else.
it is also an initiative. you shoot for what you want, but take what you can get. in the end we should not sell ourselves short by trying only for the bare minimum we can accomplish: we should go for the gold or drop out of the race entirely.
If the time, energy and conviction you have for impeachment were focused on the '08 elections we will have a better end result. Bush will be out of office, and we will have good lawmakers filling both houses of Congress and the White House.
I, for one, do not buy the idea that impeachment will take attention away from the other important issues: on the contrary, we have witnessed the fact this president will not respond to "nice" requests to change course. At this point what is left is for congress to actually USE the power it is given by our Constitution.
Beginning the process will bring a lot out into the open, and will also mobilize our liberal base.
We have to remember who we represent as the Democratic party. We should not be playing to win over the other side. I'm sorry but we are being *way* too nice.
Guess what, the public wants these guys gone and our reps do exactly, totally, without remorse, nothing!!!
My inlaws in Germany say that each day the news makes fun of our President and the people because they are so apathetic they do nothing. So much for international relations.
It took awhile to create this mess, and its going to take time to fix it, but we have to push the issues and make ourselfs heard.
