Shocked. I'm absolutely shocked that Neil released this just prior to the election. Simply shocked.

Do-It-Yourself Impeachment, no joke.
The Citizens' movement.
The day the nation demands impeachment is upon us. Sacks and sacks of mail are arriving in congress demanding 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 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, part of the movement to impeach the president, 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.
STOP WAITING FOR YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ACT FOR YOU.
You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.

Why are you shocked? I'm even more shocked Sadaam's death sentence was announced two days before the election.

Let's vote everyone from the President's party out of office tomorrow before we talk about impeachment. Without control of Congress, there's no chance and 2 more years of Bush.
Tell everyone to vote tomorrow!
said...
Agreed, don't forget to vote, folks.......
it's time to take back OUR country.

I watched the video 3 times. Once for the picture. Once for the top scroll and again for the bottom scroll.
There's more to the picture than meets the eye...

I'm from before "After The Goldrush"...1968...when I heard him sing Expecting to Fly...I knew. Favorites are Tonight's the Night and On the Beach...I suppose. Maybe.
Endless...without time. Time Fades Away. My daughter’s four concerts to date: Laurie Anderson. The Cure. Neil Young. Greenday. (in that sequence)
Live on a ranch in Texas. Political Science Degree.
Manufacturing Engineer for Lockheed Corp...building the F-35 fighter aircraft.
Funny. Huh?
An old stoner building the F-35.
Ya'll should like that. Maybe even start another thread...huh?
"I was travelin with my family in the Mideast late one night...in the hotel all was quiet...the kids were out like little lights...and the street was filled with jeeps...there was an explosion to the right...
"They chanted "Death to America"...I was feelin like a fight..."
Life. Right? Twin Towers...
I'm thinkin all politicians miss everything. Their very nature.
The essence of their own formatory thinking. Bush is guilty. So is Cheney. Kerry sucks worse than them. You might even be guilty...formatory thinking is a dangerous thing. Replacing Bush with Cheney...ehhh.
I've been workin on this palm tree...for 87 years. He said "go get lost and walked toward his Cadillac".
I vote that you just vote. I like a lot of the independents. A lot of the Democrats scare me. A lot of the Republicans scare me.
Changing how you already voted...as a group...to impeach what you did...ehhh. Only 2 years left...Chaney in office...spend one of the 2 years fighting this battle for impeachment...instead of working for the people... Nah. Vote again. Start again.
Maybe it's a woman...or a black man after all.
Maybe Bush is just like you. He's doing the best he can do...with what he's got. Sounds like you...huh? Funny. I think...maybe...every person I ever met...was doing the best they could...considering...how they are. What they are.
I came to you when I needed a rest. You took my love and put it to the test. I saw some things that I never would have guessed. Feel like a railroad. I pull the whole load...behind.
Okay: Last Dance
Late one night while I was walking through the valley of hearts.
The spirit came to me and said...
You gotta move to start. You gotta take the first step. You gotta crawl to be tall...then she told me something...something that I'll never forget.
You got Love to burn. You better take a chance on Love. You gotta let your guard down. You better take a chance. A chance on Love.
Kind Regards...from Three Creeks.

Hey Three Creeks, time to stop smoking that stuff. You're rambling.
Thanks for the link, causal, I'll be sending that around. After what has gone on with the soon to be ex-congress and the Executive branch, it's certainly time to impeach the president. I mean, if they could go after Clinton for lying about sex, then what Bush et al has been responsible for should merit at least tar, feathers, a rail and a whuppin'

Every dog has its day. Yesterday was soooo sweet. Maybe Bush will get what he deserves.
Thanks Neil for being so brave in an age of cowards and chicken-hawks.

Dang Tommy. Didn't mean to get you confused.
I thought the oxymoron / contrast of an old hippie helping develop and build the most advanced fighter in the world...was noteworthy. Ironic.
I personally am ok with defending our country. Advancing our technology. I'm not ok with extremists flying passenger jetliners into buildings.
It would also seem evident; you have no knowledge of war, or Neil Young. No history.
No experience. You must get bored in your apartment...huh? Ready to go change the world!
Over 35 of the lines in my post were actually direct quotes from Neil Young songs. Rambling to some...actually quite deep to others. You've never even seen him play a concert...have you? I didn't see him play the first time live...until 1972. Before you landed on the planet...huh? Your ignorance reveals your age sir.
Cheney might be your choice for Bush's replacement though...huh? You do understand the sequence of transition in power...right? I mean...you did take some government classes in High School...right? I mean...not to ramble...but you did graduate from High School...right?
Usually the one's screaming tar and feather...hang him...go get the rope...are closely aligned with those that wanted to stone the prostitute to death in the King James Version. Quick to pass judgment...slow to see themselves as they really are. You remind of them Tommy.
Anyway...
Kind Regards...Three Creeks

Ive met plently of conservative miserable people who are "old stoners" and consider themselves open minded and liberal. Intelligence and ideas are kinda funny, like a light in a room, the people with the dimmest lights can't understand what the others are talking about.
You were'nt making sense Three Creeks and you are insulting others. Bored on your ranch? go build somehting useful.

There's a bit of an Earl Green stoned rambling to Three Creeks.."wrappin'up dope in a paper bag, talkin' to yourself, takin' a drag..". Whatever makes your world bearable, dude. Actually, impeachment would be best started with Cheney, then move on to your compadre. As it is, history will not be kind to him for his massive strategic blunders, just like a previous president from Tejas and his fiasco. All hat and no cattle.
yours, Tom
ps- Lay off the stuff for a while. Sooner or later, it all gets real.
ps- 9/11 happened on HIS watch, btw
