    A Simple Call to Impeach - If you believe the country is going in the wrong direction and are frustrated by the refusal of the legislative branch, our Congress, to exercise their sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution, then you must have wondered what can you really do about it? What difference can one person make?

    There are many of us; the frustrated majority. We want to know what it is going to take to turn things around. What can we do to get Congress to abandon their business as usual attitude and put impeachment on the table now? How can we send them a clear message? They need to quit trying to run out the clock. There is still plenty of time for them to impeach the President and Vice President! There is no legitimate basis for their failure to take action. The House impeached Bill Clinton on December 19, 1998 and the Senate trial lasted from January 7 through February 12, 1999. Not having sufficient time remaining is not the issue. They do not have the will to do it.

    We believe that each one of us, acting together, can make an enormous difference, especially if we take one specific, coordinated action. Best of all, it is easy. It doesn’t cost anything and it is legal. In fact, it is our civic duty. Call a member of the House Judiciary Committee to let them know that you want them to act now by holding formal impeachment hearings immediately. The simple act of making a call, when multiplied and coordinated, is one of the most powerful ways to let those in Washington hear us loud and clear. They will not be able to deny that they know what we want them to do.

    Buddy, can you spare 5 minutes a day?

    Our campaign is straightforward. It begins with a simple phone call. If you make a five minute call each day, at a specific time, and schedule your call before or after someone else doing the same thing, you can participate in creating a phone blockade. As far as we know, there has never been an organized attempt at a phone blockade of public officials’ offices. Our aim is to overwhelm the Judiciary Committee by the sheer number of dedicated Americans willing to call on them to hold this administration accountable. Only our coordinated efforts can have the kind of impact required to force our representatives to do the right thing. Our aim is to empower you to multiply your intention to make their phones ring all day, every day, until they take action!The staff members who make their offices function will let them know that they cannot continue to function as usual with all of us calling them

    Our collective action can make it impossible for Congressional offices to function as if they’re conducting business as usual — politics as usual. We commit to calling until they hold real impeachment hearings. It is that simple.

    We are not affiliated with any political party nor do we view this as a partisan issue. We will never sell, rent, or share any information, including your email address, with anyone, ever. Our sole desire is to provide a tool for you to join other like-minded people in scheduling your calls to make them as effective as possible.

    Commit to your five-minute daily call now, at Schedule a Call. Use this form to tell your friends about this website and ask them to do the same. Envision Judiciary Committee members’ telephones ringing constantly, and each of them immediately acting, with vigor, on their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Do it now!

    YES!!! Absolutely! Get them impeached, and get this country moving in the right direction! bring our troops home! Shut down the Federal Reserve System! I also highly recommend removing all amendments to the constitution thereby restoring power to the people… NOT the government! I’m tired of every time I turn around, I hear of more of our rights, and privacies being stripped away from us!! It is unacceptable, and it must stop!

    I think Jason meant removal of all Amendments detrimental to the People, the United States and the Constitution.
    He was blowing steam, but I understood!
    Obviously the removal of the Amendment which created the FED was uppermost on his mind. Thanks for the complete copy of the Amendments, which although I am British, I am very interested in. We have a developing nightmare over here called the E.U., which your government wishes to impose on you, the N.A.U., which we will all have to fight, together.

    Why can’t we prepare recall petitions and bills of impeachment of our own that we have made up for each of the incumbents not currently up for re-election in our state who refuse to impeach, have them with us when we go to the polls this November and have the voters sign the petitions and bills (after they have voted for no incumbents on the ballot)? Right after inauguration, 1/3 of the senate and however many representatives, all newly elected, could have no objection to proceeding with the bills of impeachment and each state would have a special election for the recalled representatives and voila! We will have thrown the bums out!

    The good old boys attitude of our leaders is so rampant that if we tried to take them all out at once (which is clearly needed) there would probably be too few left who fully understand the duties of the office given them by the constitution that we could be having a major scramble for them just to get up to speed to even continue as is until they could step by step eliminate all frivolous pork barrel add ons which should become illegal for any tag ons at such a change. Each plan should have to stand alone, be a value to all or at least a majority of our citizens, and have a straightforward way proposed for its implementation or not be eligible to even make it to presentation for consideration.

    That may make it possible to keep the buy outs of our leaders by credit card companies who currently have a license to bleed money at the thought that a person may not be able to pay (we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, aren’t we?)and charge us for anyone who even decides to check our credit rating even if we did not authorize it, because they managed to get to that capability by clandestine payment for the support they wanted to get to where they (the credit card issuers) are more guilty of the mess we are in than any person defaulting by the additions after the fact that have swamped the financial boats of many otherwise upstanding citizens.

    Wall Street and Banks and probably the insurance companies across the board as well should be held just as accountable as any single citizen in default since they have played the hardest taskmasters in the country. They should have to agree to acceptable top range salaries (as everyone else does), payments back to the tax funds (if that is the source of their redemption) or what other source of aid they can come up with and supervision by the source of assistance to whatever degree they should feel useful to be satisfied to give them backup once they have found a solution.

    There’s an old saying, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Or that could read, “What is good for the debtor is good for the lender if he defaults.” And clearly the majority of the bankers who are in trouble have had to default many times over for this to have gotten so far out of hand.

    I agree with changing the government in the USA and to make sure it sticks do away with dual citizenship. The neocons are zionist jews and they are wrecking our country fighting Isra-hells wars. They are also the ones who designed 911 and all of the wars they are the ones also who are behind all of the disunity all of the divide and conquer. The international banksters are zionist jews, not all the jews are aware of what is going on nor are they a part of this criminal mafia, but to be sure these people want to control the world and have patiently worked towards these ends, and have done a damn good job.
    The American Medical Association is also killing people when was the last time anyone got cured of anything? I could go on and on.

    To basically stop the Sell Out by our congressmen and senators, just accomplish the following. It would be start. It would bring back lost businesses, bring back creativity, jobs and happiness among the people. These Must Be Done and Now. 1. Repeal the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.
    2. Repeal the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. 3. Bring back the Monroe Doctrine. It works. 4. Throw the U.N. and its Trash Out of the U.S. and get U.S. Out of the U.N. Way over due. Require McCain to accomplish the above, or don’t vote for him. Call the Republican Party of your intent. I have.

    Can someone help me with this…How do so many people lose against the IRS when the prosecution is unable to provide the legislation that would incriminate the defendant. You can’t just make up laws in court as you go along. Furthermore, how is a state court able to enforce a constitutional amendment that may not have been ratified in it’s very jurisdiction. It’s all so confusing.
    I am 23 years old and chills go up and down my spine as my mind races through the possibility of me living in an Orwellian hell hole during my life time and might even prevent me from wanting to bear children into such a dispicable society. I don’t have very much money and I work paycheck to paycheck and have no insurance, benefits, or retirement plan. I can’t just take off work and sit around Washington with picket signs with no money or food or shelter. So what am I to do other than sit here and be extremely pissed off?!
    I do know that unity and communication is essential however I think a lot of people may agree when I say that making a bunch of phone calls is probably like a gnat on a lion’s face, a mere nuissance. I feel hopeless and alone and I’m sorry to say that for every one of us informed and angry Americans, there are a 100 that just don’t care and are too busy with their VH1 reality shows or the sneakers with lights in the heels they just purchased with there meaningless monopoly money. Sorry to be a bummer but we need a better plan to remove these chazars from their untouchable thrones…I’ll try the phone thing for shits and giggles. 1984 should be renamed 2011, if this North American Union goes through by then it oughtta be CHECKMATE.

    I should have added to number 10 above that at the time of cleaning house, the people need to be sure to see that NO MORE MONEY BILLS ARE ABLE TO BE PASSED WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE TO SIGN IT OFF RATHER THAN THE PRESIDENT OR CONGRESS OR SENATE. WITH THEIR AGREEMENT THAT SUCH SPENDING WOULD BE NEEDED THEY SHOULD THEN BE REQUIRED TO GET THE FINAL STAMP OF APPROVAL BY VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. NO EXCEPTIONS UNLESS WE WERE UNDER IMMINENT THREAT OF WAR AND HAD TO FUND DEFENSE ONLY.

    That would seriously curtail their free wheeling spending of the people’s money.

    Vote against every politician that voted for the bailout! We need to make serious noise and shine a big bright light on these people. Take it upon yourself to get EVERY apathetic person you know envoled. YES be a big pain in the neck. Just blogging to like minded people is preaching to the choir. We need to instill outrage and impower people who feel they are helpless! STAND UP!!!

    A year and a half ago I met some people in AZ. They told me about things that were going to happen. I listened reluctantly and I was very sceptical. I became curious when I saw main stream media not giving the time of day to what I thought were credible arguments. After all if these people (some holding public office ) were kooks why not expose them and be done with it. Much to my dismay I have watched as events they were predicting have unfolded with surprising accuracy. The latest of course being the bank failures which they said would happen in Sept. and the bailouts. This is all going in a direction that is not favorable to people like you and me. All I ask anyone to do is please take the time to explore alternative news sources and just watch. The scariest thing is being uniformed. Then you tell me what you see. Use your street smarts. The sovereignty of our country is literally at stake. Thank you. Dave

    Impeachment is one way to get the job done. I keep having visions of pitchforks poised at the backsides of the corporate facists who voted for the bailout. :)

    I told my husband tonight that we should just default on our mortgage and car payment. But then reality set in when I remembered the bailout is not for those of us who have always played by the rules and been good law-abiding citizens.

    Ya know…I’ve called & called and not once was I able to speak to our Congressman. in fact, his secretary was softly laughing at me. I wanted to give her a 3 Stooges eye poke!
    I sent numerous emails to Evan Bayh (D-Indiana) without a real response. Typical form letter sent back to me. Yah, I’m sure he actually read it. NOT!! OK, I called another Senator, Jim Arnold (that I grew up with) getting his voice mail. I pleaded with him NOT to go for the Bail Out, or be intimidated by the other Congressmen/Senators. So, I sent him an email, asking if he enjoyed being a puppet, and where did he think he’d be fitting in with the New World Order? I even asked him if he’d ever seen a FEMA boxcar?
    No response, except a form letter, saying the same thing as
    the other Senators letter did. I was on a roll.
    It really urks me, that we voted these morons into office, and they cannot muster up the courage to answer the phone, especially now…when we really need them to speak/fight for us? What goes around will come back around….they’ll want another favor soon enough. I won’t get fooled, again. They’ll get exactly what they deserve when it’s all said & done. There’s a special place in hell for them.

    I have a Grandson in Afghanistan. This issue with the war, and now the “Worlds” biggest heist really has me upset. They don’t care, at all, about these kids being overseas
    and risking their young lives for absolutely NOTHING except our Administrations GREED!!
    All I can do is pray, and ask for some type of understanding to all of this crap. These very people will stand before the Messiah, and they’ll have to answer for what they’ve done to us, and this great nation. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes, on that day!!

    Vote the bums out November 4th!!!! I wish we all could just stop having payroll taxes deducted so that they would not have any operating capitol. The less these people work the better off Americans are.

    Deb, thanks for having the courage to ask about the FEMA boxcars! You go, girl!

    We need to organize a system that brings up a national issue we can all agree on, (via letting us vote on it, you simply just advising us, or what have you), what about and when we should call, interjecting our routine/(current)-schedule of our individual oppositions. Therefore, really getting the message out in consecutively concise manners. This (new)schedule of our cooperative effort would be undeniably more effective in leading our government the way we agree it should operate.
