Liebermann might replace Gonzo!

Majorie Cohn on Thom Hartmann
This a.m. on Thommie Hartmann reported that she hears that Lieberman is rumored to be the nominee to replace Gonzo.

Balance of Power in Senate would go Red
In CT who would replace Lieberman as a Senator. The governor of CT (Whom is a Republican - Jodi Rell - she got there after Rowland who faced IMPEACHMENT). As a side note - I am a CT Yank!

When I used to believe in the system of checks and balances - I did not think that the Senate Democrats would not approve such a nominee. But now I do not believe the Dems have the guts.

Balance in Senate would go to REPUBLICANS! Hello Karl Rove anywhere?

Also, the 41 Co-Sponsors of HRES 589 (impeach Gonzo) should be hammered NOW to sign on to HRES 333. Just my thoughts.

Conyers in Newark @ rally on Sat rally ( Peoples March for Peace, Equality, Jobs and Justice) talking about his single universal health care HRes 676 . But it pans @ the beginning with the IMPEACH signs in front of him (heh heh). And Conyers answers a heckler (use the term liberally) when they ask him from the audience about IMPEACHMENT versus health care. IMPEACHMENT PRESENCE from the NJ impeachment movement.

American Friends Service Committee created this powerful exhibit, which has traveled throughout the U.S., illustrating the human cost of the Iraq war. In NJ boots equating the number of American Soldiers lost in Iraq lie on the ground. Silent and poignant - like the SM coffins every Sat night.

Montebello Summit - Boys Just Want to Have Fun

Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America news clips from anywhere but here (USA).

Slicing and dicing of clips from Canadian TV coverage of the Montebello Summit held with Bush, PM Stephen Harper, Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

• CTV clips.
• NewsWorld Clips - CBC.
• Steve Previs of Jefferies - CNBC Amero comment - Dec 06.

Topics range from: Security and Prosperity Partnership, aimed at increasing trade and security between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. NAFA Super Highway from Mexico to Canada. And oh yes the protestors.

Yes, it's true: like contestants on a reality TV show, protesters at the SPP meeting were invited to vent into video cameras, their rants to be beamed to "protest-trons" inside the summit enclave. It was security state as infotainment - Big Brother meets, well, Big Brother. The spokesperson for Prime Minister Harper explained that although protesters were herded into empty fields, the video link meant that their right to political speech was protected. "Under the law, they need to be seen and heard, and they will be."

Take the Constitution to the People with a little help from Oprah

RE: The Swift Boating of the Constitution
Take the Constitution to the People with a little help from Oprah

Gentlemen

Good day!

My name is Sharona and I have been working with the 100% volunteer effort for impeachment in Los Angeles. Firstly, let me extend to all of you, on behalf of the impeachment activists, our sincere thanks for your efforts to elevate the awareness of the American public on the necessity to impeach to save our country.

I believe the best way to jumpstart the education of Congress, Senate and Americans-at-large on the Constitution is to get Oprah engaged in this process. Idealistically, to get the Constitution as an Oprah Book of the Month Club selection – and I am serious about this recommendation. Further Oprah programming could be a show with a diverse panel of Constitutional Lawyers (Mr. Fein, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Turley) allowing Q&A from the audience and a special rebroadcast of the Bill Moyers Tough Talk on Impeachment on Oprah.

Having an audience of American women reading the Constitution with Oprah on national TV would definitely encourage members of Congress to read their Employee Handbook. I recognize that getting the topic of impeachment on Main Stream Media daytime TV would be no small task.

For obvious reasons, the names of the Oprah Show's producers are not public anymore; therefore, I am taking the bold step of sharing this unorthodox programming idea with you gentlemen to advance my efforts. I have been submitting to the Oprah show via their website this proposal daily since mid-July with no traction, therefore, I am throwing the gauntlet over to you. Thank you for again for all your good work.

Best Regards,
sls

High Noon in Thousand Oaks

LANIC and PDLA Rally @ Congressman Gallegly - The Heat is ON!

Taking Impeachment to a Republican Representative and member of the House Judiciary Committee.

We had a great, great turn out this afternoon in Thousand Oaks. We camped out @ a major intersection off of 101 with 8 traffic lines. There was 100 plus people on all four corners and there was a plenty of honking going on. This is deep in the heart of Republican heartland in CA. We had local constituents of Congressman Gallegly district present 4 counts of impeachment. These documents were presented to the Congressman's chief of staff as Rep. Gallegly was out of the office today.

Erica, an Iraq Vet (a beautiful young lady from Congressman Gallegly's district and I believe DAughters of American Revolution) participated. Photos of this great event may be found http://picasaweb.google.com/VoiceofAmericans2008/LANICAndPDLARallyCongressmanGallegly.

As a side note, the crib of Rep. Gallegly was definitely nicer than Congressman Waxman's.

Nancy: real women wear a pair below the belt too.

Harpers and WaPo articles on FISA and the wimps.

The Republicans have never met a national security issue they're not willing to politicize. This is no way to run a superpower.

That Saturday night, the House sent the president a bill that, as a disgusted Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.) put it, with just a touch of exaggeration, ‘makes Alberto Gonzales the sheriff, the judge and the jury’.
They got the President the bill he wanted and, as a result, they created absolute fury in the Democratic base. Pelosi has received more than 200,000 e-mails of protest, according to an aide, for letting the bill go forward.

Sanders - Impeachment is just NOISE!

Thom Hartmann "Brunch with Bernie".
Bernie Sanders response today from a listener call in question.

I have quit the Dem Party after 20 years and I see that all this corruption gives IMPEACHMENT AS THE ONLY OPTION.

Senator Sanders response (para-phrased).

Barring the sum of new developments (i.e. a smoking gun of impeachable crimes - I am just dictating what Bernie said - not agreeing) would need 66 votes in Senate to get removal of office.

Thom mentions.

Impeachment in the House is entirely possible.

Senator Sanders continues.

It is a political question. If the Dems go the route of impeachment that would give Rove alot of ammunition and sympathy. He feels that maybe Rove would welcome an impeachment action. Rove would be able to say "you may not like what the President is doing - but he does not deserve impeachment. Dems are over reaching".

If you impeach Cheney/Bush you get Pelosi and she does not want that. (Hello - since when do elected officials get to decide what they want! Where is the PEOPLE'S VOICE IN THIS DEMOCRACY!

Senator Sanders sums with:

Number of investigations going on right now to expose BushCo activities.

Senator Sanders wants to see a grass root movement that gets the Dems in the White House for 08 - that is what he views as the most important mobilization of grass roots right now.

Voice of Americans 2008 view on Senator Sanders' impeachment comments.

Investigation of BushCo activities.

What do we do with all this information Bernie - why not do these investigations in the House during an Impeachment Investigation!.

Grass Roots should deliver the White House in 08!

1. Historically when a political party introduces impeachment - they win by a landslide the White House in the next election.
2. You need to get LISTENING DEVICE and START LISTENING TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

Congress needs to go to Debtors Annoymous

An Overwhelming Vote for Waste, Earmarks and Corruption

John Nichols Blog
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?bid=1&pid=220192


Extracts from article about CONGRESS - THE DEMS

Knowing a patsy when they see one, the defense contractors are now piling on…" And they are getting a lot more "free money" than any of the communities across the U.S. that hope for a tiny earmark here or there to pay for a new bike path or a polka museum.

"Now in control of Congress and having made multiple promises to restore oversight of the war in Iraq and the executive branch in general, the Democrats have been successfully rolled by the White House, the military services, and the big spender pundits."

So how many members of the House refused to get rolled? Not many. The final vote on the Pentagon appropriation for the 2008 fiscal year was 395-13. The "no" votes came from: California's Bob Filner, Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey, Georgia's John Lewis, Massachusetts' Barney Frank, Minnesota's Keith Ellison, New York's Nydia Velázquez, Oregon's Earl Blumenauer; New Jersey's Donald Payne, Ohio's Dennis Kucinich, Washington's Jim McDermott and Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin – all Democrats – and a single Republican "fiscal conservative": Michigan's Vernon Ehlers.

My slice & dice on the NO Democratic Votes to earmarks + nice to knows.


Bob Filner: Chair of House Veteran's Affairs - good on him - he is protecting our VETS and TROOPS! HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored


Barbara Lee: HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored


Lynn Woolsey: HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored


Blumenauer, Earl: HRes 589 = Impeach Gonzo co-sponsored


Barney Frank: HRes 589 = Impeach Gonzo co-sponsored + CHAIR Financial Services


Ellison, Keith: (Triple Hitter) HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored + HRes 589 = Impeach Gonzo co-sponsored + No on Earmarks


Donald Payne: HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored


Dennis Kucinich: HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney sponsored


Jim McDermott: HRes 333 = Impeach Cheney co-sponsored HRes 333


Tammy Baldwin: HRes 333 + HRes 589 = Impeach Gonzo co-sponsored + on House Judiciary Committee

Bush Signs Law to Widen Legal Reach for Wiretapping

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 — President Bush signed into law on Sunday legislation that broadly expanded the government’s authority to eavesdrop on the international telephone calls and e-mail messages of American citizens without warrants.

They also said that the new law for the first time provided a legal framework for much of the surveillance without warrants that was being conducted in secret by the National Security Agency and outside the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the 1978 law that is supposed to regulate the way the government can listen to the private communications of American citizens.

Wake up Americans. Change the TV channels while you still have a choice. Start watching C-SPAN or Keith Olbermann or even Jon Stewart to get what is really going on with your rights.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-news/comments/2007/08/03/59047

I am dialing Senators/Congress right now to say:

(1) Stay in session (preventing the kind of recess hijacks this Administration is so fond of).
(2) Refuse to send a bill of any kind. A Bush veto would be the BEST outcome -- more than likely we'd get another signing statement.
(3)Executive order confiscate assets - after 30 days they become law - get Congress whilst in during Aug to not allow the 07.20.07 IRAQ executive over to get in LAW!

Election 2008 and online communities

Candidates and Social Networks: Generation Gaps and "Unearned" Status
http://techpresident.com/node/4205
Synopsis - key points below

A critique: the authors consistently refer to "internet strategies" and "online presence," but they're really only looking at a small piece of the broad world of online politics. A better measure of "online presence" would take into account blog mentions, online fundraising, email list size, membership in candidates' own campaign-specific social networks and the number of active volunteers recruited through the web. Also, don't forget online-enabled offline activity such as downloaded neighborhood walklists and virtual phone banks.

I think one thing you have to look at is third parties. Converting all that "online support" into voting might not only be difficult in just getting people to show up, it might also be difficult in that even if they show up they might not be able to vote in a primary in some states. (They might not even be registered at all).

Letter_2_the_Candidate

I emailed Mr. Obama & Mr. Edwards to request

1. Support Impeachment
2. My candidate must support the restitution of the Constitution and check and balance system of this Democratic Republic plus commit to rescind all the over reaching Presidential powers grabbed by the Bush administration. (cut & paste from the letter).
   

Below is my personalize letter from Barack. As we know - he does not support impeachment - but he did not comment on giving back the over reaching Presidential powers...uhm...interesting.

Mr. Edwards has a hair dressing appointment today - should be available in 48 hours.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts on impeaching President George W. Bush. I appreciate and share your high level of dissatisfaction and frustration with the President, his actions and his priorities. I disagree with him on many issues, ranging from the war in Iraq to the future of Social Security to funding our children’s schools.

I support robust Congressional investigations into his administration and the highly questionable actions it has taken in areas such as domestic spying and the U.S. attorney firings. He has horribly mismanaged the rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. The Democratic Congress has achieved important progress this year, but we are still stymied by a President who is out of sync with the American people, vetoing legislation to responsibly get us out of Iraq and to support increased stem cell research.

America needs to move forward again, and I don’t believe that continuing this era of bitter partisanship is the best course of action. As I travel the country campaigning, I hear the call for a new direction and a change in our politics, a thirst for something more. I don’t believe impeachment answers this call. I believe if we begin impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunctional. We would once again, rather than attending to the people's business, be engaged in a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, non-stop circus.

Instead, I will continue to move forward with a positive agenda in the Senate and on the campaign trail. I hope you will stay involved and work for progress on the issues that matter most to you. Thank you again for writing.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama
