Impeach Jay Bybee Now

Judge Jay Bybee signed memos at the Justice Department purporting to authorize aggressive war and torture. Aggressive war is our national religion, but in May the House Judiciary Committee secretly "interviewed" Bybee about torture. He admitted to authoriz ing torture. He admitted that torture was conducted without authorization. And he admitted the central role played by his sidekick John Yoo.

It's time to ImpeachBybee.org

This is the full text of the resolution that drove Alberto Gonzales out of office. We need the same thing for Jay Bybee:

Countdown to Crawford Amuses Me

Bush needs to be held accountable for his crimes. I'm Registered Republican,
It doesn't matter wether you're Democrat or Republican, It's all a lie anyways.
They all sing the same tune. We're all American no matter what our choice of
party. As American's it's our duty to hold our officials accountable for their
actions. George Bush has brought us into a war that we didn't want based on
lies and acts of false flag terror. He and his friends made a fortune off the
lives of our sons and daughters. He prayed on our fears to gain control over
our lives via the Patriot Act. He announced himself above the law. Will you all
allow him to be above the law? It's not too late. It's never too late. Yes his
term is almost over, but it's not over yet. Impeach him now before he decides
to send us into Iran
on his way out. If that happens this economy will crash and bring the whole
world down with it. If nothing is done, every president after him will know
that he/she can also be a dictator "above the law" and that the
American public wll lay down, take it, and do nothing about it.

You say it's too late? Our forefathers gave their lives to see to it that
tyrants like this were not in power. All you have to do is pick up a phone and
call Congress.

The Thousand Thousand Bush Murders

WE THE PEOPLE demand the Impeachment of G.W.Bush and Slick Dick Cheney!
They have committed crimes against us, WE THE PEOPLE, and crimes against the
People of Iraq, and are about to do the same to Iran.

Did you not find it strange NO ONE at that hearing could call Bush what he
is..A cold blooded killer, nor could they say he is a bold faced liar?

Where was their freedom of speech? What happened to their rights given to
them under the Constitution?

If our rights are taken away kiss FREEDOM OF THE PRESS goodbye as it walks
out the door.

Impeachment or Anger Management?

The ONLY reason Pelosi let this go to judiciary is because Cindy Sheehan
announced running against her. The problem with this country is we have a
choice between who they tell us to vote for. The Republican and Democratic
parties are just funnels for special interest money that answer to the
contributor and not to the electorate.Look at who voted to allow wiretapping
BEFORE a court order was issued -CLEARLY against the Bill of Rights they've
sworn to uphold-and whatever ELSE VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT. We need to force
legislators to pass a law that ANY public official that purposely subverts the
constitution can be IMMEDIATELY prosecuted. Not like Rove who will laugh and
laugh until even if he IS convicted Bush will pardon. We have a MORAL
imperative to do everything within our power to prosecute people like
Bush/Cheney who seek to undermine our national ideals.Get rid of the Democratic
and Republican parties, the Federal Reserve, prosecute Bush/Cheney for treason,
rescind ALL presidential directives and "secret" laws passed by Bush,
prosecute Nancy Pelosi for complicity in treason.

Never Give the Rascals a Free Ride

Never Give the Rascals a Free Ride

President Bush has been a "total failure" in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. Is she surprised at this?

Until I see evidence to the contrary, my working hypothesis is the current regime has evidence of criminality against many Congressmen. Blackmail and bribery lie at the bottom of this. The FBI must have much of the information involved in this. The FBI presented Bush with 423,000 pages of evidence, which he turned over to McCain. Can we find one patriot who will publish these pages?

Any Congressman who voted for torture, preemptive war, the Military Commissions Act etc is guilty of crimes against humanity. Can we find a judicial system willing to prosecute them?

Impeachment is fine and dandy with me. Putting Rove in prison for contempt would tickle me pink. The point is to let everyone know that someday some way he will be brought to book for his crimes.

Impeachment? Are you Serious?

Heroic Assumptions Often Vaporize

Admittedly, the administration is totally corrupt and criminal. Expecting impeachment implies the other two branches function as checks and balances. Other wishful thinking includes heroic assumptions about law enforcement and fair elections.
The government controls the information fed the public by the pliant mass media. Who has the will and the power to impeach the highly placed perpetrators? Always, we should remember the nuclear weapons are in their hands. Innocent Americans are not that much different from ordinary Iranians.
We vaporize quickly.
