It only takes a moment to help convince Nancy Pelosi to Impeach Bush/Cheney..
Pelosi most likely said impeachment was "off the table" to remove any appearance of conflict-of-interest that would arise if she were thrust into the presidency as a result of the coming impeachment.
What we need to do is to pressure Pelosi not to interfere with impeachment maneuverings within her party. Sending her Do-It-Yourself impeachments legitimizes her when she joins the impeachment movement in the future.
Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Nancy Pelosi's office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative's own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635). There's a little known and rarely used clause of the "Jefferson Manual" in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.That's where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help to convince Pelosi to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.

Thanks for sharing that website!
You commented on my blog, but I suspect you may have read my title, but not my post.
As much as I agree with much of your analysis, I have to disagree that pushing the Democratic leadership on this right now will be helpful. Actually pushing is fine - it's succeeding in getting them to make this (rather than more generic investigations that aren't targeted to bringing down particular individuals) a priority that could backfire very badly. We simply can't afford to let impatience cause us to squander the great opportunity the American people have given us by deposing the Republicans in Congress. I know you think that's backwards, but you're thinking with your outrage.
Correcting injustice takes time. The Chinese students pushed too hard at Tianenman Square and it set their cause back.
But please feel free to join the discussion over at WatchBlog.
American Soldiers, the Iraqis and the Iranians are out of time. They shouldn't have to die because it would be politically inconvenient to do the right thing just yet.
I urge you and your readers to take a few minutes to examine:

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, three members of Congress have signed on as co-sponsors, in part due to hearing from their constituents. Make your voice heard, and let others know!
