The fact that you did this helps our movement. I'm sure that many of the impeachment movement have a deep respect for you, like I do. Mine goes back many years.

When I was 14 I read about the candidates in the 72 election. I admired George McGovern for his principles and for being against the war in Vietnam. My brother had had returned from Vietnam and disputed my father's distain for Jane Fonda. My brother defended her - he knew what a farce that war was. I wanted to do my part against that war and for the election and I begged my mother (who was voting for Nixon) to take me out to work the precinct on election day so I could hand out literature for McGovern. She did. My mother doesn't always agree with me but encouraged me in this conviction for something I felt deeply about.

I have only this video to share, this says it all. Watch all 20 minutes as patriots Alan McConnell and Larry Bryant sell buttons expressing the will of the majority of people with some demonstrators around and friendly neighborhood supporters. Watch a frail 74 year old man picked up like a hog for slaughter for selling IMPEACH HIM buttons.

George Mason University, Fairfax, VA - Mason Center 1 pm - 4pm

Should Impeachment be ON the Table?
During the founding or our nation George Mason asserted, "No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued." Now, in the early years of the 21st Century, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has decreed, "Impeachment is off the table."

What has happened to the United States that might justify the Speaker's view? Whose position is more essential to the protection and preservation of our Republic today and in the future?

Come to a grassroots town hall forum to explore these questions publicly with fellow citizens and special guests (see below) who are making themselves available during this special Northern Virginia citizens event.

(For those who don't know, Tom Davis is the Moderate Republican Congressman from Virginia's 11th Congressional District)

Dear Mr. Davis,

Congratulations on finally getting the voting rights for DC bill
passed. This is a major triumph for you and a demonstration of your
skills of working with others in Congress in a bipartisan manner to
right a horrible wrong that our neighbors to the north have been
living through. The good Ms. Holmes-Norton will make a fine full-time
Congresswoman. "Good on you", as the kids say.

I did want to make note of a deficiency regarding your previous
correspondence to me. Your highly efficient and courteous staff sent
me a letter explaining your views on Iraq, which grow increasingly
more like mine every day, however, I wrote to you on Impeachment.

Yesterday the biggest killing spree ever that has ever taken place on an American school or University happened. And while everyone is sorry, no one is sorry enough to look at the giant elephant in the room, certainly not George Bush, but not the good Governor Tim Kaine either. Senator Jim Webb was silent about this elephant yesterday as well. Senator Warner? Not a word. Mark Warner? Forget about it. Only the BBC’s Justin Webb nailed it.

Today we slogged through the mud for the duration of the march and the very unpleasant police force who refused to allow our Prince William Peacemakers bus to come in and pick us up. One of our number, a 22 year old girl, was traumatized by a police brutality act in front of her eyes (man struggling on the ground at the bridge site above the North Pentagon parking lot who was maced continuously). This brave young woman tried to bring this atrocity to the attention of the speakers on stage, but they just droned on and ignored her pleas for attention. The Virginia State Police were out there in droves and riot gear. It was overkill for a rather smaller crowd than was expected.

At our demonstration on Saturday we had a lot of police presence.
They demanded that we move our signs away from the road by 15 feet
(county ordinance) but since our group has been at this same
intersection since 2005 we wanted to see proof of the ordinance. The officer said, "I don't have to provide that information and I don't want to". The other officer was smarter. He called his boss. The
Sargent came out with his laptop and spoke with us and indeed it is an
ordanance (no one cares about the SELLYOUR HOUSE CHEAP Call 1-800-
stealyourhouse.com signs.) They are fine really close to the road,
but our signs, "Bring the Troops Home", "BAD WAR", and "WAGE Peace"
might cause people to throughly lose control of their vehicles and
fucking think for a change, a dangerous activity in Prince William
County.

Well, I'm part of a very gifted group of people who are calling for investigation for impeachment.

We formed in January of this year.

Http://www.democrats.com wanted for each Congressional District to form its own commitee for impeachment. We have a moderate Republican Congressman who, at a lot of our urgings, voted against the surge.

We are meeting with a staff member on the Government Reform Committee in a few weeks. We were referred by our Congressional office (Tom Davis R-VA) We want see if there are people who would be part of our group to go up to the Russell Senate Building and help us deliver our articles of Impeachment.

email me at nmaynard22192@comcast.net if you are interested.

I got this letter from AnswerCoalition.org. It seems that our state government is demanding that people pay to protest in Virginia. I think it's time to Raise some Kaine with Kaine on this. Who else is writing the state government to whom we pay taxes?

Just a few days ago I could look out my cubicle window and see flowing water as the Potomac River gently lapped by. I was getting a little bit hopeful about the Levin/Warner Resolution in the Senate. Now the Potomac is iced over, so is the Senate resolution on the Iraq war. As Senator Webb (still enjoy saying that) said:

"Winston Churchill once wrote about watching good ideas getting nibbled to death by ducks. Last night, we saw that phenomenon in action. We had before us a measure that would allow this Congress to speak clearly of its concerns regarding the woeful lack of leadership by the President on an issue that affects our nation and our military people like no other. And the other side - including some Senators who had helped to draft the resolution, and had put their names on it - punted the ball down field, rather than giving the people of this country the debate they not only need, but are calling for in every public opinion poll."

Senator Webb was referring to the other Virginia Senator: Mr. Warner punted.
