It is the heart of any call for investigations or impeachment. It is intended to bring the ire of every person reading to the forefront and spur them to action. It is intended to refresh the memory and to sharpen the focus. It is intended to never let the crimes die…or the criminals rest…
It is The List.
Impeachment/Investigation essays are emotional to some people, they react to the meme or the ‘current political reality’ and not to the larger reality of what has occurred over the last seven years. The List is a reminder to FUCK the current political reality and push for justice and principle.
Many people have made many lists, as I say it is at the heart of advocating for justice for Bushco. So instead of using time to come up with a new list for every essay, I would like to see us compile a nifty Cut N’ Paste Bushco Scandal List. The top ten(?) scandals should do it, perhaps with a short blurb…and definitely with a link to a story from a major news outlet about that scandal. And of course we want the most devastating link possible and the most damaging blurb possible.
At what amounts to the eleventh hour politically, it seems that impeachment is gaining some traction. Certainly the recent torture revelations are a pretty darn clear path to impeachment, but there are so many others! So if you are into it, pitch in!
Here is a good reminder and primer for your thoughts…Scandalist™ by rickpickett
Take your time, dig in, and let’s see what we can come up with! We can post it on the Dharmapedia for easy access and whenever you go to write about demanding FULL INVESTIGATIONS NOW!!! or IMPEACH!!! You can just C&P in to your essay with no muss and no fuss!
Bonus Fun!!! Post all your best impeach graphics and links! Let’s make this thread an Impeach resource center. I will tag it Impeach List, so we can all access it that way in the future as well as through the Dharmapedia

She’s making a list
and checking it twice …
lol lol lol … er, ho ho ho!
Impeach. Indict. Imprison.
in all, an almost incomprehensible accounting of misdeeds, greed, and criminality all out in the open and accelerating with each day…
it’s easier to understand the chaos of the universe…
not really, yet in some way i mean it
What a parade of horrors. There are so many bad, evil, corrupt, illegal, incompetent items on the list that no one person can retain all of them without a list.
Can we impeach them now? Please.
takes time to go through it all. Was the North American Union in there?
The sell a fancy deck of 54 playing cards, each feating a separate crime that Bush committed against this nation.

We have been reduced to the status of a carnival attraction and international symbol of depraved stupidy.
the sooner we can get the hearings and impeachment going!
And remember, any congressperson who doesn’t support this
effort isn’t worthy of re-election. So, those who are
represented by non-impeachment Reps might consider contacting
them and telling them why they don’t stand a snowball’s chance
in hell of being re-elected.
that nails the most important ones pretty well.

Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney
I ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:
1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal “War of Aggression” against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.
2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.
4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.
5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
6. Violating the Constitution by using “signing statements” to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.
9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a “Unitary Executive Theory” giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.
The cupcake.
