It is time to put impeachment back on the table! Iraq spins out of control. Bush escalates and threatens still wider war with Iran. The Bush program of torture and illegal detentions continues. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Bush's full program remains in effect. NSA Spying, the Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act; all continue. And, all are illegal. The whole program of the Bush Administration must be thoroughly repudiated by removing him from office before his term expires; otherwise, the whole direction he has taken society will be condoned, legitimated, and made permanent.

A movement to Impeach Bush for War Crimes can quickly advance the whole struggle; making ending the war and removing Bush a reality. As impeachment becomes imminent and his war options grow more limited; the more his war crimes are exposed, the greater the impetus for his removal and repudiation.

On the weekend of February 17, join activists, leaders, academics, and writers including Cindy Sheehan, John Nichols, Dennis Loo and more.

Saturday Workshop list is in formation, including:
"Organizing for oversight, investigation, accountability - impeachment" (presented by the Progressive Democrats of America)
* Impeachment "from the people"?
* Protesting the 4th anniversary of the Iraq war
* Freeway Blogging & other creative endeavors
* State by state activities for impeachment
* Organizing Labor unions
* Youth and student organizing walk-outs, strikes, teach-ins
* An all-afternoon intensive tutorial by experts on the crimes of the Bush administration
* presented by The Bush Crimes Commission Sunday strategy break-outs on how to advance the demand for impeachment this spring

Everyone who sees the need and opportunity to remove George Bush and his regime from office for its crimes, and repudiate his program, will gather in New York City to plan how to accomplish this in 2007.

4. Now, That's the Ticket !!

It's been nearly a year...



Everyone answered "Yes, but what do we do about it??"

Well, a movement arose -- the majority of Americans responded "YES" -- but still the Rationalizing for Inaction continues.

So now we see "our leaders" fiddling with impotent non-binding resolutions, bloviating through impotent open-ended hearings, and impotent to promise any result on any front while we remain under "rule by signing statement."

The Euphemedia, of course, retreats to sucking on its 2008HorseRace Pacifier.

And the torture continues, the spying continues, the warring continues, the Band Plays On.

Only Impeachment -- Can Stop the Music -- Can Stop the Treadmill -- Can Stop the War!

Let's come to our moral, patriotic, anti-war senses and get on with it.
