Senate Votes to Prohibit CIA From Using Waterboarding

washingtonpost.com

OK, I suppose I should be grateful for small victories, but can someone tell my why the fuck Congress continues to waste time passing laws against behavior that is so clearly in violation of the Genenva Conventions? We don't need another freaking law - we need Congress to do its damned job and impeach the war criminals in the White House.

Seriously.

Chicken-shit Democrats fail to backup Kucinich in debate.

That tells me all I need to know about this bunch of Democratic contenders. Cheny needs to be impeached, Dennis is the only one that will do it.

Impeach07 Campaign Launched

(Goddess bless him, he has been a tireless warrior in the fight against this criminal administration.)

The impeachment movement is uniting and expanding. We're joining with many other organizations to launch Impeach07, a coordinated series of actions aimed at impeaching Bush and Cheney through widespread public protest, creative dissent, media activism, education, and lobbying:

Bush and Cheney have misled this nation into an aggressive war, spied in open violation of the law, and sanctioned the use of torture -- among numerous other offenses. Newsweek reported in October that a majority of Americans favor impeachment, and in January that 58% said they wished the Bush administration were over. "Only a great popular upheaval," Howard Zinn said recently, "can push both Republicans and Democrats into compliance with the national will."

We need to end one war and prevent another, and impeachment is the way we will do it.

On March 17, the anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, Impeach07 will mobilize for a
March on the Pentagon to demand peace and impeachment. Go here to get involved:

On March 18-20, Impeach07 will organize local events for peace and impeachment around the country:
