It ain't over till it's over

It may seem as if the fight is over but not by a long shot. I know that Dennis' campaign began to seem like too long a shot given what he has to face in Cleveland in order to retain his seat in Congress. But for many of us who have stood with him because he made us see exactly what was possible, there is no end in sight as far as I can tell. I shall certainly be here as often as I can be dishing out the same kind of stuff I was going into before only not just in response to his and our hopes for his successful bid to be President 44. That may have to wait a bit.
However, there is some awfully good news afoot as far as I can tell. The waters are parting a bit and there are people stepping up to do their bit and to keep on moving the impeachment call further along. It is work that must be done.
If you have not yet done it, go to afterdowningstreet.org and sign on there to lend your voice and to see what all is cooking in terms of impeachment. If you live in Maine, check out the truly progressive candidate you have there, Laurie Dobson and sign on with her and help her out. If you know of other candidates who are trying to break the mold and get those who understand what the consitution means elected, then get in there and help them too.
Our lives are too short to be tied up this way. Let us clean out the mess that has been made so that when we elect a new president, whoever it is understands that we will all be watching and the crimes committed on the last watch will not be tolerated.
This is the word now. It must be gotten out there and the work is tremendous but so necessary. No good will be done until the impeachment process is completed.
Write to everyone and tell them so. Now. Today.
Strength through Peace.

Some HIts and Too Many Misses

Impeachment is not just an option put into the Constitution by some wise men but a real remedy for what is wrong these days with our current administration. With every piece of news that comes out about the way this government is being run, we find more and more evidence of the crimes, the treasonous behavior that the president and vice president have been involved in almost from the start of their terms in 2001. Yet, it is difficult for this country to get its mind around it all.
Rep. Wexler, running for re-election in Florida, has become a more current member of the team going to bat for Dennis' articles of impeachment. He has now delivered to his colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee the 200,000 signatures he has gathered online in support of the impeachment of the vice president.
These are difficult times, there is no denying that. Even though it looks like there may be no way to move this forward, or that we will run out of time, the momentum and dedication to this impeachment drive continues to gather steam. Why?
It needed tax our minds too much to observe just what we read in the news every day that what is and has been going on in the White House is not just illegal but also deeply immoral.
Having said that, I also think it is important that those of us who want to support this motion, keep in mind that those who are in favor of it in the House and/or are running for the Senate need our support. For these reasons, I urge you to take a look at who is running for office in your district and in your state for the House and the Senate.
I think then it is time still to feature those candidates who support the impeachment and will work towards it from this moment forward.
If you live in Maine, I know that Laurie Dobson, who is running for the Senate as an Independent is totally behind the impeachment and would be working in the remaining two weeks of the president's term to impeach him and the vice president. I know that Congressman Wexler is running with this being one of his largest reasons for re-election. And of course, Kucinich is running for re-election in Cleveland's 10th district. Please do what you can to support them and as more candidates become known to me, I shall inform you of them as well.
Strength through Peace.
