Rawstory:
The National Impeachment Network is planning to run an advertisement on California television during the months of December and January 2009 which advocates for the impeachment of President George W. Bush.
Headed by Ralph Lopez, diarist at the left-leaning Daily Kos, the National Impeachment Network is supported by grassroots groups such as Code Pink, Veterans for Peace and Republicans for Impeachment.
From the network's website:
"Ralph Lopez at the National Impeachment Network has created this ad for television, a version of which has already run in Vermont on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN Headlines, and other stations. We are going over the heads of congressmen and appealing directly to their constituents in order to generate pressure for impeachment. Impeachment can be accomplished in three days with single article like refusing to obey congressional subpoenas. In an up-or-down vote before the entire Congress, even Republicans who are not part of the rabid right will start hearing from their constituents to impeach. Bush has no friends left, and he shouldn’t. They can do it. And the future of democracy will be that much more secure, with his unprecedented law-breaking firmly punished."
The ad features images of flag-draped caskets and grieving military families, along with George W. Bush addressing the crowd before an annual Correspondent's Club dinner with now infamous jokes about not being able to find weapons of mass destruction. It also includes a clip of author and former Deputy District Attorney of Los Angeles County Vincent Bugliosi's congressional testimony regarding the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
The ad encourages California citizens to contact their representatives in Washington to demand impeachment of the President.

Too little.
Too late.
You are so right KBT1...Bush/Cheney are two men I don't want to meet. I'm not sure I could stop myself from ripping off their gonads with my bare hands and feeding them to the pigs...its not nice to mess with a mothers nature:)
It is true, Kittybowtie that it is too little too late to impeach Dick and George. But, the ad is putting this into Pelosi's face. That is the message. Remember what Pelosi said, impeachment is off the table? California, besides Vermont have been the driven force to want Bush and Cheney impeached. No, the ad doesn't change history but it does put Pelosi on notice for her job as Madam Speaker since she was re-elect back in Congress from November election.
“Cowardly Congress Continues to Toady to Bush . . . If their sacrifices aren’t to be completely meaningless Congress needs to show that America’s power cannot be abused on a whim by an executive branch that won’t even accept responsibility for its actions” (Steve Holden. Retrieved December 2, 2008, from http://yorksamerica.blogspot.com/2008/07/cowardly-congress-continues-to-toady-to.html).
Congress needs to get some guts and impeach George W. Bush. Congress still has the chance to redeem itself.

Good evening, Andrew!
Welcome to Justice League. And I agree with you. Congress has a responsibility to the American people to adhere to their demand to impeach Bush and Cheney. Al though it is differcult to impeach Bush and Cheney since Congress can't get 2/3 of votes, Cheney is the President of the Senate for a tied vote, and Bush has a control over Supreme Court, Pelosi has failed to even try to bring up Articles of Impeachment against them.
Congress is not listening to the American people which is why their approval rating are low. People need to send a message to the constituents that refuse to impeach Cheney and Bush and walking papers to not vote the lawmakers in office again.
I appreciate your comments. Hope you stop by again.
