The Impeachment Train is Leaving the Station

The Impeachment Train is Leaving the Station

 

Well, it's really starting to happen, folks. As of this afternoon, Rep. John

Conyers has gotten 289,000 signatures from Americans who want President Bush to

answer the questions Conyers has posed about the Downing Street Minutes. He also

has 95 fellow House members signed on as well -- including 5 Republicans (and

one of them, believe it or not, is the NC Rep who came up with " Freedom Fries " ).

 

Keep in mind that two weeks ago when Conyers first put out a call for

signatures, his goal was 100,000. But this momentum is just getting started.

MoveOn.org has now jumped on the bandwagon and aims to get 300,000 of its

members to sign on. And an industrious Kossak over at DailyKos [the blog at

www.dailykos.com] set out on a campaign to get a whole slew of unions and

associations to put the letter out to their members, hoping to reach 10 million

people with an appeal to join the DSM Truth Movement. She already has the

interest of AARP, which has 35 million members.

So there could easily by half a million signatures by June 16, when Conyers will

hold hearings and introduce new documents corroborating the allegations in the

Downing Street Minutes. Then, after the hearings, Conyers, his 95 House

co-signers, the witnesses and a citizen's rally convening at Lafayette Park are

all going to walk the letter over to the White House and dare Bush not to

receive it. That's going to look great in the history books.

And thanks to a British journalist with the nads to ask Bush and Blair about the

minutes at their recent joint presser, the MSM is finally (if grudgingly)

covering the DSM. Though Wapo's Dan Froomkin notes that the Downing Street

Minutes may be the LEAST of Bush's worries.

And I say again folks, you don't want to be on the wrong side of history. Read

and sign the Conyers Letter if you haven't already.
