This has been up for awhile!

I started a Blog with it on Saturday, April 02, 2005 at: 'Imagine' A World Of Peace,Understanding,Tolerance

Not much in the personal thought area type Diaries/Blogs one: I'm not a writer, two: Never enough time, three: Am a Thinker, Constantly, but when Pissed my thoughts get Extremely Jumbled!;c] It is a way to post up just a tiny bit of what is going on with the occasional Subject as My Point and a few Thoughts Injected into the Posts. [by the way if anyone visits, the only link I have as a commercial link is to Amazon, so if thinking of a Book Gift etc. you could use them, hint-hint!!;-], more for the books etc. than for a few pennies made for being an affiliate-Really]

There are a Number of Impeachment Actions out there, a few started Right After Democracy Stopped in 2000 Election!!

Yesterday, and I mean Yesterdays, was the Time Everyone Should Have Started Burying Their Reps With Calls for Impeachment, Growing With Each Fact Brought Out, From The Beginning, Now Having Proof Of!!! The More They Are Buried With Action, Either Party Reps, The Quicker They Will Act Out Of Fear For Their Own Power/Corrupt Wants!!!!!!!!!

You can bet that if there is an impeach bush petition out there... I have probably already signed it. lol

As for this being up for a while? I didn't notice... I have had all of my attention on the 12 Days of Justice thing this week, so I have missed many great diaries this week.

  What if the Times sat on this story for a year under order by Fitzgerald in the course of the investigation.

It would be a big step forward.
