Impeachment Advocates Crash Server, But Still No Reports in the Corporate Media
Tue, 12/18/2007 - 16:10 — dlindorff


The push for hearings on Dennis Kucinich's Cheney impeachment bill (H Res. 799) continues, with the number of signers of Wexler's petition now topping 90,000.

The rush to sign on has been so heavy that on Monday it crashed the server. Rep. Robert Wexler's people have since changed to a better server, but in the process, there were some resets of the tally, which has led to a lot of concern and even to anxious conspiracy theories among impeachment backers. Wexler's office says there has been no problem with sabatoge, and that the current number, just over 90,000 as of 10:45 am Tuesday, is accurate. The list has been checked for duplicates and other signs of trouble, and looks clean, they say.

So impeachment advocates should continue to push for support for this call for action. Get people to the petition site and signed on.

But don't stop there. This important breach in the impeachment stonewall at the House of Representatives has still not been reported at all in the corporate media. We need an avalanche of phone calls and letters to corporate media editors demanding that they stop censoring out this story.

I spoke at a political theater event on Sunday in New York City produced by the Culture Project Theater, and was part of a staged "grand jury" investigation into impeachment, under "prosecutor" Marjorie Cohen, president of the National Lawyers Guild. With me were Columbia University law professor Scott Horton and former Rep. and Nixon impeachment panelist Elizabeth Holtzman. ....(more)

2. Bombard corporate media. Yes, that seems to the way to go....

even more so than politicians. They control everything anyway.

I plan to bombard corporate media about their censorship and lack of followup, etc., etc.

Thanks for this post!

13. The public doesn't support impeachment.

So sorry, no matter the crimes committed, they just can't do it.

Move along.

16. We are the public. Or at the very least part of it.

17. Over 109K now.

Just thought I'd share the list of items I typed in as my concerns:

Restoration of the full Constitution and Constitutional crimes.
Congressional Oversight.
Fair Trade, not "Free Trade".
Campaign Finance Reform.
Corporate influence on the Democratic process.
Foreign influence on the Democratic process.
Tax breaks for multi-billion dollar companies.
Retroactive immunity for criminal acts against U.S. citizens.
Election Fraud.
The War on Drugs.
No Child Left Behind.
Healthy Forests.
Lobbyists being appointed (and approved) to oversee the industries they work for.
Unqualified appointees being approved by Congress.
The DLC and "Blue Dog" Democrats.
Republicans, as a species

I'm sure I missed a few, but also sure I hit the high notes.
