Perhaps what is missing in the Impeach Them movement is a media campaign. Thoughts??

10. Is there any compelling reason to move them from the position they have staked out already
I think the censure proves that they are doing just what they need to do right now.

18. This though arose as "There should be an Impeach media campaign." Who matters less.
I though that was is missing is the media campaign, no matter who does it. Seeing the brujaja over the betrayus ad made me realize that we need big, full page ads about impeachment, and T-V spots, radio spots, etc. But, first, someone has to take initiative, and that requires an organization that can raise the money, and therein I saw the connection to MoveOn.

Perhaps an organization could start an Impeach Them Now fund, accepting money "earmarked" specifically for that campaign.

12. I just killed myself for three weeks and the media is in black out mode.
If it weren't for Skinner, Rob at OpEdNews and one rascal Reuters photographer, no one would know that Nancy's district isn't just peachy with all this criminality.

Ours was the biggest demonstration outside of DC on the 15th and our local media STUDIOUSLY avoided us.

Not giving up, but rather, finding ways to really be the media more effectively.

They can have my surrender when they pry it out of my cold dead hands.

13. Would I donate for an impeachment ad?

14. I'd donate to an Impeach Cheney ad.
It would be more popular than an impeach Bush ad.

19. Indeed. Take it to all the media. Buy radio spots on Rush Limbaugh's time slots!
Whatever it takes, wherever it can run.

16. Unfortunately it is too late
We are in the election cycle and this would be seen as politics. It is not going anywhere.

17. Yes. Pressure Congress to start moving toward impeachment.
It's the only way that the Republicans will take us seriously. This administration has to be brought to answer for its lies and crimes. Move-One.org has to pick up the gauntlet because Congress will not. Give your money to MoveOn.org, not to the DCCC. The DCCC will just waste it on empty promises.

20. It would be very democratic, money talks, and we would see how much supprt comes in.
It might be HUGELY surprising just how much people would vote for impeaching them with their monetary support.

21. Yes.
How much depends on how aggressively they seemed to be pursuing it.
