Impeach For Peace

Why Am I Doing This?

I decided to create this web page when I found many people were responding positively to my solitary protest marches around the courthouse square, down- town, and at Wiley College. My first "walk- about' was galvanized by mailings from "The World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime.org" for the national anti- war and anti-Bush regime protest on Oct 5th. I had come to the realization that only direct community action was likely to effect any change in view of my (our) Congressional Representative, Louie Gohmert’s, utter commitment to the Bush White House and its worldview.

I was gratified by the number of very supportive responses I received and pleasantly surprised at how little overt hostility I encountered. I was even interviewed by the Marshall News Messenger (see reproduced article)!

I'd only considered marching the day of the national protest but, as the news regarding a possible attack on Iran became more grim, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was passed, and the realization that the President would be in office, as Commander-in-Chief, for another two years, regardless of the results of the November midterm elections, settled on me I realized that I'd better keep on speaking out while it was still legal (or before I was accused of "providing material support for terrorism" and spirited away). Happily that hasn’t happened (yet) but, as I've continued my protests I became aware that I might be able to reach more folks with a website that I might also publicize during my ongoing 'walk-abouts'.

Impeach for Peace, in Minneapolis, had sent an e-mail via the "World Can't Wait" list serve regarding the “Impeach for Peace” website & petition and one thing led to another.

This then, is a more extensive discussion of the things I don't have the time to talk about when I press a handout into your hand and we both hurry on our ways. I hope you'll take the time to read and consider what I've put forth here, explore some of the sites I've linked to, and when you've finished I hope you too will feel the need to submit a "memorial" requesting the impeachment of George W. Bush for so many very wrong actions. You never know, your's may be the final straw needed to effect real change!

Please feel free to e-mail any comments, kind or otherwise, to me using the "contact us" link at the bottom of each page. I will gladly respond to any serious questions.

“There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away... The Constitution doesn’t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended”

1,000 PEOPLE SPELL OUT "IMPEACH!" IN PELOSI'S DISTRICT

Beach Impeach

January 6, 2007 - Over 1000 people gathered in Nancy Pelosi's district, on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, to spell out the message "IMPEACH!" "America is a great country," said event organizer Brad Newsham, a local cab driver and author. "But President Bush has betrayed our faith. He mislead us into a disastrous war, and is trampling on our Constitution. He has to go. Now. I hope Nancy Pelosi is listening today." A majority of Americans share Newsham's sentiments. A 2006 Zogby poll found that 52% of Americans agreed with the statement: "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment?"
