Impeachment Marcher Reaches Washington – "Hello Madame Speaker"
By Dan DeWalt
John Nurenberg, who has spent the last forty days and nights walking south on Route 1 from
Boston to Washington D.C., has reached the outskirts of his goal, Nancy Pelosi’s office. And
rather than the last stumbling steps of exhaustion, or steps glad to be finishing up and moving
on, the final leg of John’s journey is rather more a river of energy that has been fed by the
response that he has received along his route.
During his trek, John has been invited (and thrown out of) high schools and bolstered by
vigils and events in Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York City, Jersey
City, Philadelphia, and now Washington. His web site www.marchinmyname.org tells the tales of
many a spirit touched, moved and even changed by learning about John and his dedication to
actively protecting the Constitution.
And John hasn’t been the only one active on this topic in the last weeks. Congressman
Henry Wexler, along with a growing number of his colleagues has been increasing pressure on
Chairman John Conyers of the House Judiciary committee to open hearings on the impeachable
charges that have been introduced by Dennis Kucinich. A couple of weeks ago, Wexler and two
other members of the committee wrote a compelling op-ed detailing why they want to start
hearings. After it was refused publication by several major newspapers, Wexler was forced to
publish it on the web, along with an online petition for people to sign on to his demand. The
number of signers is approaching a quarter million and the op-ed has now been published in at
least two major newspapers.
Former Senator George McGovern just published an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for
impeachment, the first such call to appear on those pages. (This is the same Washington Post
that wouldn’t publish the Wexler op-ed a week earlier.)
During the Presidential debates, before the power structure shut out Dennis Kucinich, and
so the topic of impeachment, his calls for impeachment often received notable outbursts of
audience approval. In spite of time almost certainly running out, in spite of an election upon
which so many are pinning so much hope, in spite of a rising level of hysteria among liberal
Democrats who are frantic that something may upset their apple cart and are begging when not
shrilling that the I word not be mentioned, in spite of all this, more and more Americans are
deciding that the cost to our nation is too great if we fail to uphold the Constitution and the
principles that it embodies. American citizens are united in the belief that the President is
not above the law. But a majority in Congress has decided to acquiesce to Mr. Bush’s lawbreaking.
Although the establishment media and power elite refuse to acknowledge it, we are in a
Constitutional turmoil, and much of the mess we are now in at home and overseas has happened
because Congress has allowed the Executive branch to unconstitutionally expand its power to a
dangerous degree. We are engaging daily in a deadly, brutal, illegal, counterproductive and
expensive occupation in Iraq, but we are dished out a fluff news diet of celebrity
misadventures, fears about $4.oo gas, the horserace to be the next Corporate Representative in
Chief, the success of the “surge” or Bush’s legacy. Many Americans are wondering if they are
the only ones feeling distress and outrage. Many feel the utter hopelessness of being a single
small voice against the monolith of power and money that seems to decide how things get done.
John Nirenberg’s walk turned one man’s outrage into a vehicle for thousands to help him
take his message to Speaker Pelosi. His time in Washington will make a difference, but it must
be followed up by other actions from other quarters. Citizen actions are already starting to
have an impact on congress members. Democrats feeling the heat from constituents have started
to break ranks from the leadership with recent votes against further war funding and for
supporting Kucinich’s call for his impeachment bill to be brought to the floor of the House.
South Florida activists have been shining a merciless spotlight on anti-progressive actions by
their “representatives”. Now is the time to turn up the pressure. Let’s follow Mr. Nirenberg’s
lead as he goes into Washington. Let’s all take the first steps to reclaiming our Republic, to
demand accountability, and to finally end the foul occupation of Iraq that, along with torture,
has cast us all in such a shamed and grim light.

All you Democrats and lefties consider:
Do you REALLY want Pelosi to be the President??
THINK about it!

If Bush were removed from the Presidency, Dick Cheney would become the
President. At this point, Cheney's approval rating is almost as low as
that of Bush; I don't know if impeaching Bush would solve our nation's
issues.

Nonetheless, I salute John Nirenberg's march to Washington, for it
should ultimately bring the citizens to be more involved in running this
country to take action.

By the left's own cries, impeaching one without the other would not fix
things. So, AGAIN, do you REALLY want Pelosi in the White House?
Razzle Fratz
I am fully aware of the line of ascension to the White House. Here is a
quiz question for you...
If the Pres, VP, and the Speaker are all done away with at the same
time, who would be next? And after that person, who?

There is a line of succession involving the Cabinet and the US Congress that
extends al the way to the lowliest first term Congressman.
