Impeach the MoFo Already


Dan Savage, brilliant advice-giver that he is, has started a campaign called ITMFA--based on his classic acronym DTMFA (drop that mofo already) from his weekly column.

He's definitely not alone in this awareness campaign: I googled "impeach Bush" and came up with 7 million hits.

Of particular interest is the site Impeach Bush.org which provides a legal document listing 20 points that provide grounds for impeachment. It is soliciting signatures for its referendum, and to date has collected 700,000 signatures.

This is the moment where the US must decide its moral stance: Puritanism or Human Rights?
Will they allow history to record that they are willing to impeach a President over extra-marital sex, but will not impeach one that consistently lies to the public, invades a country based on said lies, illegally wiretaps citizens phonelines in the name of their "protection", and permits torture to be used in defense of "freedom" and "democracy"?

Have you heard about HR 333? I urge you and your readers to take a few minutes to look at:

It's a list of the 25 most recent comments made by real Americans participating in an online poll/letter-writing campaign concerning the impeachment charges recently filed against Vice President Cheney, which are now being evaluated by the House Judiciary Committee. Comments can be sent to elected representatives and local newspapers at your option. The participation page is at:

Since this campaign began, some members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors, in part due to hearing from their constituents. Has yours? Make your voice heard, and let others know!
