In case you wake up Monday morning staring out the window wondering what you can do today to make a difference in the world…
Call your Representative and both Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them:
“I insist that Congress act immediately to bring all U.S. troops home from Iraq NOW!”
It almost certainly will have no effect, but go ahead and do it. It’ll make you feel better.
Hundreds of thousands of your very best intentioned fellow citizens are calling their Representatives and Senators today insisting that the United States end its Iraq aggression immediately and good for them for doing so.
In case the number above doesn’t work out, here is a resource site to locate your Representative and Senators to place a call immediately along with other Action Steps you can take:
Progressive Democrats of America
The vote of November 7th was a mandate primarily against governmental corruption, but opposition to the Bush Administration’s illegal war of aggression for profit in Iraq was a close second. It is almost as if they are closely intertwined – governmental corruption and war for profit…
Who’d a thunk?
Here is just a smattering of organizations participating in this noble effort:
Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice
By all means, please call. It is the right thing to do. But while you’re at it, go ahead and call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney because your call will be totally in vain as long as they are in power.
Period.
Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, six point five billion calls won’t matter one iota. These soul-less corporate cretins have no intention of letting go of this boondoggle. It is far too profitable for the crony corporations to which they bend a knee.
They already know that they are unpopular and that their policies are not supported by the American people. They don’t give a Shiite, a Sunni or a Kurd what you think or want.
They don’t work for you.
So by all means make your call, but please consider saying instead:
“I insist that Congress act immediately to bring all U.S. troops home from Iraq NOW!, AND I demand full accountability of the President, the Vice President and their entire Administration for the lies that got us into this mess in the first place. I insist that impeachment be BACK ON THE TABLE immediately.
You work for us. We brought you into this office and we can damn well take you out! Do your job and serve the Constitution of the United States of America to which you will swear your oath of office in January or stop pretending you are a free standing multi-celled vertebrate”.
Calling for peace without justice is like operating your car without a drive train. The engine revs and the fuel is burned, but the car goes nowhere.
Be very careful how you expend your precious energy.
There will never be peace without justice.
Interesting and humorous campaign for impeachment.. Perhaps your readers would be interested in reading this story, which provides more analysis than any traditional news media report on the subject

Would you like to go to Washington with me to demonstrate against the war let me know. Maybe a few hundred thousand of us older guys, will just gather in front of the white house like we did before to Johnson and Nixon last time. Now that we have a bunch like Bush and Company.
Maybe we will be maced and batoned by police like in the old days .
Remember, when the troops and the police lined up on the top of the Justice Building firing tear gas canisters and rubber bullets into us. The sting and burning of tear gas in our throats and lungs. I remember it well. It was well worth it we ended that Vietnam War after 12 years of Bull Shit.
Some how I look forward to the excitement of standing up against their tyranny and see them run like hell again to the Air force 1 helicopter to get out of town.
Maybe each of us will bring a souvenir home from that same white house a splinter or two.
You will be surprised what a few hundred thousand of us old guys can do.
Let me know , remember how we commandeered every commercial bus and school bus in the country. We had bus convoys for miles streaming into Washington, they were photographed from TV network planes and CIA planes.
WE voted we sent a message but we need to send a presence and shake DC up and get our kids out of Iraq NOW.
you know when you want a puppet you look for a stupid and alcoholic personality in a man like bush with a flawed wife like Laura that had a vehicle accident that killed a young man.
Now given two shysters like chenney and rumfield that use them like clay and run the country a muck for their own profit.
Hang em high bush chenney rumsfield are war criminals just as guilty as the elected hitler and his elected vice president and defense secretary was.
to mc cain I say to you foool, what do you say to the parents of the alive servicemen and women in Iraq. I SAY GET THEM HOME NOW IMMEDIATELY SAFE AND SOUND !
Iraq was the work of the war criminals pupet bush directed by chenney rumsfield. hang em high and cut up their life less bodies and give their heads and parts to the Shiites, Sunnis and curds so they can desecrate them more and vent the war’s horrors on those three assholes that caused this modern tragedy.
Impeach , try them for treason hang them cut them up give their ugly heads to the three Moslem groups in Iraq. Shiites Sunnis Kurds.
Let Iraq splinter up along the population of the different groups , let it disappear and let the tribes of the area make their own territories . LEAVE THE GOD DAMN OIL ALONE IT IS THEIRS NOT OURS FOR God’s SAKE> LEAVE THEM ALONE
BRAZIL OUTLAWED OIL DO NOT BUY ANOTHER BIG GOD DAMN SUV TO DRIVE TO THE GOD DAMN GROCERY STORE > DO NOT BE AN UNPATRIOTIC MORON HELPING THOSE SHITTY SOB OIL COMPANIES SCREW THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ANY MORE>BUY SMART KEEP OUR TROOPS HOME FOR GOD SAKES!

Bring all congressional business to a dead halt until they deal with the task YOU SENT THEM TO WASHINGTON TO DEAL WITH.
Mike Rivero at http://www.WhatReallyHappened.com is exactly right.
What we should do is gather in DC when the new Congress meets and tell them flat out that WE THE PEOPLE refuse to allow anything else to be done until the liars who tricked us into war are impeached, removed from office, and tried for war crimes.
We The People sent the new Congress to DC with a clear mandate. REMIND THEM OF THAT. Practice snarling now. Make a point of opposing any new legislation, no matter what it is. Stop every Congressional action in its tracks. Bring all congressional business to a dead halt until they deal with the task YOU SENT THEM TO WASHINGTON TO DEAL WITH.

I like everything positive. I’m on this website since the first day of its existence and I have never seen anything negative on it. This website is made by people, who think positive and who have many things to tell others. I love this website, I always get positive emotions from it and I can stay here the whole days and nights!
