Update 02.06.09:

I last updated this site on 7.24.08 and since then, much has happened, much of it good and fitting but, sadly, much remains the same.  While I rejoiced in Barack Obama's electoral victory from the standpoint of a statement on racial progress in America (and no, we are anything but "post-racial"), I was unable to vote for his predictable corporate Democratic Party agenda, prefering instead Ralph Nader's truly progressive platform.

As I write this, the Obama Administration continues to debate and waffle over the correct course regarding the criminal has-beens who've recently been ejected from the White House and other Washington, D.C. offices.  What's to debate?  I cannot imagine.  The crimes, and the law, are both clearly evident.

As what I expect to be my last entry on this site (which I'll leave up until the current lease expires for those of you who've chosen to visit it), I leave you this:

It's been quite some time since I updated anything on this site and, since then, some things have changed, others haven't.

I created this site in October 2006 (see below the line) in anticipation of a massive Democratic Party win in November leading, quite promptly, to impeachment hearings by Rep. Conyers' Committee on the House Judiciary and, all things working justly, an impeachment of the Bushevik administration accompanied by paralysis of their political and geo-political machinations as the impeachment progressed.  

As I write now (July 24, 2008) it's obvious none of that's come to pass.  In fact, I've just turned off the TV after watching the first House Judiciary hearing on 'governmental wrongdoing' and I doubt much'll happen in the future.

So, what use is this website to you?

First, let me say that Joden & Mikael at Impeach for Peace.org (Minneapolis) have done a fantastic job of keeping the main site updated (with the aid of others posting, myself [as 'Marshalldoc'] included) and I urge you to visit it here for the latest on impeachment news, proceedings, editorials, and activities.

Despite the time that's passed since the site was carefully tended, the central & basic issues remain unchanged.  It was created primarily to educate it's visitors about the nature of impeachment, what constitutes 'high crimes & misdemeanors' - impeachable offenses, and what the Busheviks had done that qualified them for this remedy as well as to provide both the motivation and means by which to take action.  And, while time has passed and some of the crimes they've committed & re-committed have grown older & bolder, they do, nonetheless, remain the same.  One cannot find a better or more complete list of George W. Bush's offenses than offered in Rep. Dennis Kucinich's June 9, 2008 35 count Impeachment Resolution or his more recent (July 15, 2008) single-count H.Res.1345 Impeachment Resolution for "Deceiving Congress With Fabricated Threats of Iraq WMDs To Fraudulently Obtain Support for an Authorization of the Use of Military Force Against Iraq".  Similarly, his H.Res. 799 "Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors" is equally informative.

If this is your first visit to my site, welcome.  If you've been here before, welcome back and I hope that it provides you an educational and somewhat entertaining visit.

BTW:  I no longer monitor the site's e-mail  (other than to delete the accumulated spam).  Sadly, what I'd iniitially hoped would become a focus of local activism, protest, and solidarity against the Bushevik regime... didn't.  I handed out > 500 impeachment flyers during the 6 months I actively picketed various venues in Marshall to people who overwhelmingly thanked me and voiced their support (some even stopping their cars in traffic to get out and shake my hand or give me a hug).  Those who disagreed usually declined a handout.  Despite this seeming interest, no activity was ever generated.  So, here's the site... hope it's helpful.

Why Am I Doing This?

I decided to create this web page when I found many people were responding positively to my solitary protest marches around the courthouse square, down- town, and at Wiley College.  My first "walk- about' was galvanized by mailings from "The World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime.org" for the national anti- war and anti-Bush regime protest on Oct 5th.  I had come to the realization that only direct community action was likely to effect any change in view  of my (our) Congressional Representative, Louie Gohmert’s, utter commitment to the Bush White House and its worldview.  

I was gratified by the number of very supportive responses I received and pleasantly surprised at how little overt hostility I encountered.  I was even interviewed by the Marshall News Messenger (see reproduced article)!

I'd only considered marching the day of the national protest but, as the news regarding a possible attack on Iran became more grim, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was passed, and the realization that the President would be in office, as Commander-in-Chief, for another two years, regardless of the results of the November midterm elections, settled on me I realized that I'd better keep on speaking out while it was still legal (or before I was accused of "providing material support for terrorism" and spirited away). Happily that hasn’t happened (yet) but, as I've continued my protests I became aware that I might be able to reach more folks with a website that I might also publicize during my ongoing 'walk-abouts'.

Impeach for Peace, in Minneapolis, had sent an e-mail via the "World Can't Wait" list serve regarding the “Impeach for Peace” website & petition and one thing led to another.

This then, is a more extensive discussion of the things I don't have the time to talk about when I press a handout into your hand and we both hurry on our ways.  I hope you'll take the time to read and consider what I've put forth here, explore some of the sites I've linked to, and when you've finished I hope you too will feel the need to submit a "memorial" requesting the impeachment of George W. Bush for so many very wrong actions.  You never know, your's may be the final straw needed to effect real change!

Please feel free to e-mail any comments, kind or otherwise, to me using the "contact us" link at the bottom of each page.  I will gladly respond to any serious questions.

UPDATE 4.18.07! - Rep. Kucinich releases updated video regarding impeachment.

UPDATE 3.20.07! - Rep. Kucinich releases video asking your input regarding the need to impeach President Bush!

“There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away... The Constitution doesn’t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended”

January 6, 2007 - Over 1000 people gathered in Nancy Pelosi's district, on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, to spell out the message "IMPEACH!" "America is a great country," said event organizer Brad Newsham, a local cab driver and author. "But President Bush has betrayed our faith. He mislead us into a disastrous war, and is trampling on our Constitution. He has to go. Now. I hope Nancy Pelosi is listening today." A majority of Americans share Newsham's sentiments. A 2006 Zogby poll found that 52% of Americans agreed with the statement: "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment?"

Excuse me... but aren't this banner and this headline a little too contradictory to be on the same page together?

12.28.06 - Former President Gerald Ford's Anti-War Opinion On Iraq War Publicized Posthumously:

“…if I had been president - on the basis of the facts as I saw them publicly - I don't think I would have ordered the Iraqi war,"

"Rumsfeld and Cheney and the president made a big mistake in justifying going into the war in Iraq,"

"I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security,"
