Dear activists, colleagues, and friends,
The Gonzales hearings made plain for all to see that the highest law enforcement officer in the land is unwilling to tell the truth under oath.
Think about that.
He doesn't recall. He doesn't know. He evades, answering questions with questions, and yet, the President has not fired him. He continues to damage our country.
It's all there on TV for everyone to see, although few have the time or patience to watch. That's why we at Brave New Films have produced a 2 minute video (with an assist from George Bush) to boil the story down to its essence.

Let's not be shy. Let's use the "i" word -- IMPEACHMENT. Say it, SHOUT it loud and clear. It has a good patriotic feel to it. And yes, the attorney general CAN be impeached. It is legal, it is proper, and it is time.
The Senate is expected to hold a "no confidence" vote on Gonzales sometime this week. We need to show them there is broad grassroots support to go further.
McJoan from DailyKOS notes the political importance: "Gonzales's refusal to resign and Bush's refusal to force it are part and parcel of the effort to protect Rove, Miers, and ultimately Bush. Which is precisely why Alberto Gonzales must be impeached."
So here is your ammunition for impeachment -- a video, a petition, a whole campaign to get the House Judiciary Committee to launch this action, NOW. We and our friends and partners at Democracy for America want and need your help.

Don't just be angry, don't just be annoyed, don't yell at the ones you love. IMPEACH GONZALES.
Let's get to work! Watch the video and send it to everyone you know.
Democracy is a beautiful thing.

P.S. For some background on impeachment see this New York Times editorial from Mizzou law professor Frank Bowman.

Gonzales is just another Bush to me. They act exactly the same.
Yes. And great info in this post.
Impeachment AND Obstruction of justice charges. Send him to Camp Gitmo for some enhanced interrogation.
Impeach first. Then try, convict, imprison. For the remainder of his miserable life.
Melissa, I'd be happy to go there and sign that, but I already have.
I've had you on my blogroll for some time now. Would you be kind enough to add me to yours? Thanks.
The miserable failure said:
"This is an honest, honorable man in whom I have confidence."
That or anything else that comes out of the mouth of THE LIAR doesn't mean "diddly squat to me.
No words can convey how I feel any more. Outraged, pissed, livid, hateful, appalled, disbelief, angered...NOT EVEN CLOSE!
They are all breaking (and re-writing/ignoring-usurping) our laws since the beginning of this country IN PLAIN SITE OF EVERYONE and NO ONE in a position to do so is doing anything about it!!! It really is like the story "The Emperor Has No Clothes" (or whatever its called).
