No more screaming into the thunderstorm
The people of America have a lot of work to do. Regardless of what you write your congressperson or post on blogs, we have to start educating ourselves and our friends and the rest who don't give a shit on our Constitution, our rights and duties as citizens of this great country. We will have a lot of challenges ahead: economically and energywise, and we have to realize we stick together under the structure of this country as founded needs to be trusted and supported for us to survive. It's no longer "just a goddamned piece of paper". Congress has the DUTY to impeach the president for violating the Constitution. Let's bring the conversation back to where it belongs: following the rule of law, and leave this diversionary crap of "revenge" to the wingnuts. Time to get to work.

Well, it only takes a moment to help convince Nancy Pelosi to Impeach Bush/Cheney..
Pelosi most likely said impeachment was "off the table" to remove any appearance of conflict-of-interest that would arise if she were thrust into the presidency as a result of the coming impeachment.
Meanwhile, in the background, John Conyers will be holding hearings in the Judiciary (the committee that would write up the articles of impeachment). What we need to do is to pressure Pelosi not to interfere with Conyers' impeachment hearings. Sending her Do-It-Yourself impeachments legitimizes her when she joins the impeachment movement in the future.
Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Nancy Pelosi's office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative's own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635). There's a little known and rarely used clause of the "Jefferson Manual" in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.That's where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help to convince Pelosi to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.
