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.
Ft. Worth, Texas - Sept. 1, 2007
Washington, D.C. - Sept. 15, 2007
This concludes the 7.24.08 update.
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.

potatoes' pages of this site...
