IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!

(for real)
We all know high crimes have been committed. We know we have been told lies, we know we have been spied on, we know our rights are being violated, we know torture has been ordered.
WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT ANYMORE. We will not sit on the sidelines moaning and such about how bad things are. We will not watch passively while we have the power to do something.
Clearly, we have to do something. Because if we don’t, we only continue to lose our rights, we only continue to be slaves tricked into thinking we are free.
Yes, it is true Bush & Cheney are not the firsts to commit such harmful deeds. But, just because out predecessors let evil-doers get away with their crimes against us doesn’t mean we should let Bush & Cheney keep committing theirs!
One might ask why even bother trying to make change using the current system we have? After all most of us agree it’s pretty messed up, the corruptions, voting fraud, endless bureaucracy, electoral process, are only a few of the problems it has. But, the reason to bother is that it might just work. The system sucks, yes, but it’s the only thing we have to work with right now and we desperately need change.
Impeaching Bush and Cheney is not the solution to all our problems; it is only a first step, the tip of the ice burg. Yet, it is such an unbelievably important move, which we, the people, must make..., for all our sakes.
So why did I bother making this Myspace thingy? Because none of the youth (with the exception of five individuals including myself) have showed up to support the impeachment movement at the roundhouse. It is probably because the word isn’t getting out there (least I hope that’s why). –It’s not like the press is doing a good job letting us know what is going on. So, I’ll keep anyone interested in making a difference updated here.
Here in New Mexico we have a resolution before the State Legislature that petitions congress to investigate and impeach Bush AND Cheney. If it passes, congress is forced to address it.
This is real. We can really fire them. But, we can’t without a surge of citizen support. Where are the youth?

WHEREAS, in all of this, George W. Bush and Richard B.
