...almost killed, and almost losing my left leg. The doctors said it was possible I would never walk again. I focused on the impossible. I learned to walk all over again.

When Washington crossed the Delaware, he didn't say "I'll cross it only if I can succeed".

When Lincoln fought the Civil War to end slavery and preserve the Union, he didn't say, "I'll fight if only I can succeed".

When FDR fought Adolf Hitler and Tojo he didn't say, "I'll fight them, if only I can succeed".

And we shouldn't say, we'll stand-up for our Constitution, restore the rule of law, and hold these war criminals and consitution usurpers accountable for their crimes, "if only it is possible".

All things are possible when we try. Nothing is possible if we don't try!

  A really short premise, then just the text above and the word impeach at the bottom of it all.
  
  Never, never brave me, nor my fury tempt:
  Downy wings, but wroth they beat;
  Tempest even in reason's seat.

    ...everyone seems to read my comments in diaries. Can't say the same about my diaries though. It could be the murderous 350 diary a day pace here though. I'm hoping that's it! Lol!

      and people really eat up stories with a genuine personal angle to it.... and the way you tie it to history is just awesome.
      
      Gotta agree with G-Hawk on this one. It would make a great diary. Take the time to really present it well, and I guarantee you that it will get a heartfelt reception.
      
      Just my two cents.
