DIY ITMFA (or the post in which I say "so")

Enough is enough!

Last month Kucinich brought the articles of impeachment against Cheney. But that was last month and the media likes to suck neocon elbow and more people voted for the American Idol than in the last election and blasé, blasé, blah... BUT, slowly and surely more and more and more Reps and committees are backing Kucinich's impeachment articles against Cheney.


So, while trying to combat the personal crises and malaise brought on by the endless arrogant bullshit dumped on us wee earthlings from on high by the Filthy Rich Greedy Bastards Social Club and Secret Church of Satan, Prince of Darkness, LTD, ESQ, FU -- I found these lovely people in Minnesota who are trying to empower the citizens to push through an impeachment.
.

See ... there's a book of House Rules called Jefferson's Manual which discusses something called a memorial -- which is essentially a regular citizen like you or me sending a letter requesting the impeachment of whichever federal officer and the reason you are making this request. Congress is supposed to consider every reasonable request.


So the people at Impeach for Peace have created a Do-It-Yourself Impeachment Kit.. All you have to do is print out 3 copies, mail one to Kucinich, one to your congressperson, and one to the folks at Impeach for Peace -- because they are planning to hand deliver everyone's impeachment letter in one gargantuan memorial that creates press and requires the House to act, based on their own rules.


This is me trying very hard not to make a very sarcastic and cynical remark, because this is no time for sarcasm and cynicism. This is the time for motivation and action.

(That is why the ignorant radical religious right keeps kicking our ass -- they kept the "fun" in fundamentalist and with their Crazy Militant Action G.I.Jesus as their co-pilot, did the work of Satan's Cabinet without faltering.)


So, in an effort to decrease the sarcasm, cynicism and general malaise caused by living in this time and place, I have not posted a picture of Cheney's snarl, Bush's smirk, nor even -- bless him -- Kucinich. This lovely mermaid is demonstrating how I'm planning to destroy Dick -- by printing out the memorial letters created by Impeach for Peace and getting as many signatures from the millions living in my major metropolitan area as possible. I'll even mail them.


Remember, every reform in history is led by the people --- NOT the politicians. Think of the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Suffrage, the organization of unions, and so on.

I encourage you to get up off your lazy malaise and act, dammit!

nurture, not murder! breasts, not bombs!
