hey folks, I had posted a diary a few days ago in order to get as many kassack veterans & politically savvy-minded bloggers to explain to me---in fact help me literally decide---if impeaching Cheney was worth backlashes or just how it might play out re: a strategy that could work.
Although I got some rude/rough feedback from an unfriendly commenter who seemed more concerned with putting-down my lack of "keeping up with Cheney-blogs/topcis," I admit that as someone who doesn't have time to keep up with blogs/politics everyday,, I INDEED found most kossacks in favor of impeaching Cheney as the other angles such as subpoena(s) & similar legal moves would not truly force him to testify, etc.
So my VERY direct follow up question: now that it indeed seems prudent to do what we can as activists to support impeachment of D!ck, what are the best ways to accomplish this given the various activist websites,, writing officials, etc?
Here's the rub---in my famously corrupt home-state of Louisiana, I am wasting my time by writing or signing onto letters/petitions by activist .org's who will forward these messages to my Congressioanal Rep., as he is a Neocon at worst and a good-ole-boy friend of Oil industry folks at best, and over the years he has NEVER supported any progressive votes, so I see that as a definite waste of my time and of most local residents' time.
Wosrse, one of our Senators is none other than sly-sleaze-boy c0nman David Vitter---h3h, no explanation needed there, eh?
The only one left is the other Senator, Mary Landrieu, a fairly decent Democrat who comes from a longterm political family of immense power in this region---and as a female democrat, she backs quite a few great causes now & then.
But the catch is that MOST activist .org's only allow you to sign a letter that is mailed to your CONGRESSIONAL REP who as I metioned, will simly laugh at any idea to impeach one of his own.
Can kossacks give me some links and strategies to the .orgs and (other ideas) that maximize the ability to REALLY make forceful progress toward impeachment of Cheney?
Looking forward to any & all ideas & links on this, thanx in advance yall.
