EMAIL from Elizabeth Kucinich about an online impeachment petition
*Happy Independence Day - Let's put the Constitution back on the table!*

"As we once again celebrate our Independence as a nation, let us celebrate

We are collecting signatures on the attached petition in support of HR 799 (formerly HR 333) calling for the impeachment of Cheney for actively misleading us about:
Iraq weapons of mass destruction;

See http://www.paa-tx.org/node/1244 for the impeach flyers that were produced for the 2006 and 2007 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day parades in Houston.

Photo taken March 20, 2007, during a special freeway blogging for the 4th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, in which different groups held signs on each of six bridges over the Southwest Freeway (US-59) in Houston.

Get one (or many) of our highly-popular ""Support Our Troops - Impeach Bush-Cheney" bumper stickers and do your part to send a truly patriotic message, while getting more people thinking about the "I" word.

It seems clear that most elected officials and mainstream media are waiting for the public to initiate a demand to hold W accountable, so let's send the message!

Our bumper stickers are 3 x 10 inches, and may be removed and re-applied (a few times) for those times when you want to attend a Bush rally.  In addition, they are perfect for covering up scratches on your bumper or other places on your car, boat, plane, or military vehicle.  Perhaps you know of some troops in Iraq who might want some!

Picture showing some of the signs in the "Impeach Bush/End Iraq Occupation" themes

The "Surge Smurge" sign was displayed to south bound traffic one morning although this direction is much better for evening. The amount of display area is smaller because of the road signs attached to the bridge.

Morning drive time. One sign shown to north bound traffic from a Gulf Freeway pedestrian bridge just south of the Loop 610. Although traffic is dense here, this site is not as interactive as blogging over the Southwest Freeway.

Memorial for Casualties of the Iraq War
January 14, 2007

Thousands Dead, Thousands More Picking Up the Pieces

We are all here to honor these fallen U.S. Military Personnel, Iraqi and civilians from all over the world that have died as a result of the Iraq war. You may be wondering why we chose to honor ALL people who have died in this war. There are many reasons that this should be done. It’s important that as human beings we memorialize this great loss of humanity to the world. It is important that as human beings we realize the toll that war takes on this entire world for generations to come. It is important because until human beings acknowledge the total losses, we will continue to spend the lives of valuable human beings trying to conquer one another in a futile bid for everlasting power. It is important because histories of wars are often untold, rewritten, or forgotten, and so the lessons are not learned by future generations.

This article has links to speeches, photos, and the event description for the 3000th casualty memorial, at Memorial Park in Houston, Jan. 14-20, 2007. This event was held to memorialize the terrible loss of life, (US and Iraqi), that we have had so far during the Iraq invasion and occupation.

Want to wear a shirt that sends a powerful message for regime change here at home?
We have two shirts that we designed, and which we hope will help to get the general public thinking more about why we need to get the criminals out of the White House. These shirts are ones that we hope you'll want to wear when you go shopping, to restaurants, to neighborhood and cultural events, and other places -- not just to political gatherings.  You'll be impressed with how many smiles, thumbs up, and other positive responses that you get.

Thanks to all of you who attended our Impeachment Town Hall meeting in Houston on Labor Day. I know you could have been doing lots of other things on Monday. I was excited to see so many people come out on a holiday for this event!

Here are some ideas and suggestions for how we can get Bush and Cheney removed from office, submitted at (and after) the Impeachment Town Hall meeting in Houston on Sep. 4, 2006.

Send us your ideas
