Impeaching "President" Bush

[shannon_a]

The San Jose Convention Center, as is true with most Convention Centers, is filled with video screens which show time, weather, news, and any other degree of minutia which might be of potential interest to convention goers, locked up in a convention center for days at a time, with no access to the outside world.

I glanced at them a couple of times while I was at GDC on Friday, and was nearly floored when one of the news blurbs that went by was on a slowly growing push to impeach "President" Bush for his war crimes in Afghanistan and for his violations of the U.S. Constitution.

When I got home I immediately started googling through all of the news services for info on the process. CNN, SFGate, Yahoo News ... not a one of them had a single news story on the topic.

It was only when I started searching Yahoo web sites that I found even a single mention on the topic.

The move isn't being led by a lunatic, nor by a freshman senator trying to gain a bit of attention. Ramsey Clark, one of our former Attorney Generals (under Lyndon Johnson), is the one who's written up articles of impeachment, citing 10 different violations by our "President" and his staff.

Here's the central website:
http://votetoimpeach.org/

The articles were written up on January 15, and as far as I can tell have received almost no coverage (other than those rogue news monitors at GDC).

But we can change that.

Blogging was a prime force in getting Trent Lott out of his position in the Senate; the discussions in blogging communities spread like wildfire, until finally the larger media companies were forced to pick them up.

Take a look at the web site and the articles, and if you have problems with Bush's policies, link them in to your own blog, and suggest that your readers do so too.

Because this is a story that should be out there as well.

Oh, and if you'd like to see a conservative response, read here:

Written a month and a half after Ramsey's articles, this column suggests that he should be brought up on treason charges.

Nope, no censorship and thought police in our country. None at all.

Done and done. And referred one J. Grant (http://www.livejournal.com/users/flemco) of FLEM (http://flem.keenspace.com/) (NOTE: several images on FLEM are NOT WORKSAFE, and a good deal of the content, for that matter) fame to the site, as he doesn't read my journal but I have him on my list to keep updated on the strip and read his political rants. He occasionally puts political cartoony things up (read through the first several comics on that site by clicking "First" under the strip that shows up).
