Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 10:09 PM by ProudDad
What part of "petition your government for redress of grievances" don't you understand???

So a group of American Citizens are going to publicly lobby the ONE MAN who can for sure introduce Articles of Impeachment in the House...

Get real!!!!!

I'm sure that John Conyers will welcome their support and the publicity their appearance in his office may provide...

Too bad so many self-styled "Democrats" here don't understand grass roots politics or the Constitution of the United States...

Last Sunday on ABC:

"This morning on ABC’s This Week, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) highlighted the new American Research Group poll showing that nearly half of Americans want the House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush, and 54 percent favor impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney.

"ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Conyers today about new reports that the White House will refuse new congressional requests for documents about the U.S. Attorney firings.

"Conyers decried the administration’s stonewalling, adding, “We’re hoping that as the cries for the removal of both Cheney and Bush now reach 46 percent and 58 percent , respectively, for impeachment that we could begin to become a little bit more cooperative, if not amicable, in trying to get to the truth of these matters.”

"Stephanopoulos responded, “I’m surprised you put impeachment on the table there. Are you open to pursuing that?” Conyers said he was not putting it “on the table,” merely pointing out the views of the American people."


So we have to help him "put it on the table". Our representatives have to be able to point to a majority putting pressure on them for them to act... Politics 101...
