I've been doing some public outreach with street signs decorated with some choice sentences... "Question 9/11" (go ahead, troll me, won't change my opinion), "Impeach Bush & Dick", "Bush & Co. Must Go!", "Hooray 4 War!" and a few others.
My latest sign idea is a count of the number of scandals plaguing (bad choice of words considering they're all of their OWN doing) this administration. So, I need some assistance to make sure I'm not inflating the number or shooting too low. The criteria are:
- Must involve some portion of the Executive branch, doesn't have to be Bush involved all the time
- Must be true.
- Doesn't necessarily have to be illegal, but must be detrimental to the common good (this is where I might remove some to ensure impact of the truly evil ones
Also, I might be thinking about just making it a big party and include all Republican scandals. I'll see where I get with this list, and with your help. So, thanks in advance.
So, in no chronological order, this is what I can recall/remember:
- 2000 Election Fraud (FL & other states)
- Cheney's Energy Task Force
- Paid Writers to Peddle Admin. Bullshit
- Use of RNC servers for gov'ment business

- Sending Troops to War that are Unfit for Battle

So, in conclusion, know what this means community?
impeach, Impeach and IMPEACH.
Understand? See the problem? This shit isn't going AWAY! Never. Ever. Until you put your heart, body, mind and soul on the record and hold these criminals accountable, we'll continue, sadly, adding to this list.
Thanks for the assistance.
Peace
