Should Americans vote for impeachment by sending just $3.33 to Kucinich?

It might make a real impression on the situation if millions of people contributed just $1 to the campaign.

What do you think? How much would it add up to?

Would it be a good way to say, "IMPEACH CHENEY!"?

One dollar changed to $3.33 on edit.

NGU.

like 1.23 or something

A new movement. Give $3.33 to unseat the VP.

Don't promise Dennis a $150,000 golf vacation at St. Andrews, a la Abramoff!!!! Heee Heeee.

I'm sure word would get back to Pelosi.

to declare our independence from King George III.

More people will do it.
more people will do it because it does not necessarily mean supporting his candidacy; it means supporting his courage.
more people will do it because everyone can afford that amount. And I think the support is more important than the money, isn't it?

I'm glad Kucinich waited to file. This is a great and apropo number.

Maybe send $2 bills?

Those supporting the impeachment should contribute with any of these significant numbers:

One buck = for definition: an impetuous, dashing, or spirited man or youth, OR to resist or oppose obstinately; object strongly, as in "The Congressman bucks the Liar."

Two bucks = throw them both out! Self-explanatory.

$3.33 = Vote for HR 333.

$17.76 = Restore the constitution.

$1.01 = As in Political Science 101. Nothing complicated here!!

$6.66 = Throw out the beasts!!

Any others I missed???

Very good idea. I like it a lot.

for the date he filed the impeachment articles?

And they won't need a CIA cyrptographer for this stuff.
:toast: :bounce: :rofl:

1 penny for each american death in iraq.

Can be followed up with an additional penny for each additional death.

call our congress person...flood their offices...news channels giving it 3rd or 4th or even 5th position today..to me, its a headline..major headline..i want to help..who is organizing to help this..perhaps we could list other links here so that we can share with our non du friends?

to get them to do what they want done. Or does that only apply to giving money to politicians for things we don't like? Would it be ok for Republicans to send Kucinich money not to impeach? If you want to give money to Kucinich, then do it, but don't dictate exactly what you expect to be done with your money.

Do you support Kucinich's politics? If you support the impeachment effort and want to make that fact understood with your contribution, $3.33 will do that.

This would not be a quid-pro-quo, give money to buy a vote on a law. House Resolution 333 is already filed.

How would you suggest sending a message of approval that will make the news? Kucinich will have to report it if a million people give $1 each!

I am with the very small minority here who support Pelosi. I am again seeing the penchant of Democrats to attack and devour their own. For instance, if Pelosi does not support impeachment now, then she is aiding and abetting. So what is being said is that only the pro-impeachment crowd have a valid point of view and those who do not agree are somehow not patriotic or worse--a freeper. Once somebody has to resort to name calling or insinuations to make their point, they have lost. Make your case for impeachment, but don't try and make your point by impugning somebody else's motives or point of view.

I don't believe in sending politicians money specifically for each and every issue I support. When people do this with larger sums of money it is considered by many to be a bribe.

Do you know how much it took to bribe the convicted? It sure wasn't $3.33!!!!!!

If impeachment is important and serious, it needs votes in Congress, not money.

Not to mention Al, Hillary, Barack, Joe, John, et.al.

Zachares went on the $160,000 golf trip in August of 2003 with Abramoff and six others, including a member of the House identified as "Representative #3. That lawmaker is not identified, but Rep. Tom Feeney acknowledged the golf trip on his financial disclosure forms but claimed it was paid by the National Center for Public Policy Research, not Jack Abramoff.

Now, this is a bribe!! Geeehzz, I hope AG Gonzales doesn't come after us all for the $3.33 contributions!!!

maneuvering? These criminals have endangered the very existence of our nation.

Just what would it take for you to support impeachment?

The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, does not support impeachment and neither does my Senator, Russ Feingold. I think I am in good company. Unless there is actually a possibility of conviction after impeachment, then impeachment is a political, feel good maneuver. Without conviction, Bush walks and he will claim it was simply a political maneuver.

Just incredible, like the world's longest train wreck.:eyes:

Oh, & you be sure to let us all know the next time Nancy and Russ invite you to one of their meetings...

is very long. In fact, I was at a local meeting, a listening session with Senator Feingold, and he said: (http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles/2006/11/21/news/02feingold21.txt)

“I don’t support impeachment, and I don’t support impeachment hearings, even though I think the president has probably committed an impeachable offense,” Feingold said in response to a question from Al Schulz of La Crosse.

“We are not required to impeach the president simply because he’s committed an impeachable offense, which I think he did with the illegal wiretapping. We have to decide whether it’s in the best interest of the country to go through that process.”

Aside from Dennis Kucinich, is there a long list of any prominent Democrats in either the House or Senate who support impeachment now? Feingold, like Pelosi, can count and he knows if Bush is impeached now there are not enough votes in the Senate to convict.
Would you be happy with impeachment only and no conviction? I wouldn't. Just because people do not agree with your stance on impeachment does not make them any less of a good Democrat. Senator Feingold is an excellent Democrat and I am happy that he represents me in the Senate.

falling somewhat further down the list. Party affiliation does not indicate whether one is right or wrong.

How long do you think we will last when "our representatives" following orders is more important than doing what is right?
:kick:

We're not asking him to introduce the articles in exchange for donations; he's already introduced them, and any donations he may receive are not bribes, but demonstrations of support, encouragement, and thanks.

Like the rest of us, you are entitled to do as you see fit.

Or, "Dennis, you lovable Menace."

I saw a home-made sign in a car window in Albuquerque. 100x the impact of a bumper sticker.

Oppose lying to go to war. Pink ribbons on every tree!!

Impeachment is very serious and important. If your representative will not vote for it on it own merits, then donating money to do it should not be done. If a member of the House believes that impeachment is the best course of action, then they should vote in favor of it without being encouraged by any amount of monetary donations.

Kucinich is just 1 vote. He will need many more votes. Ever think of encouraging your representative to be a cosponsor? If you want impeachment, it needs votes in Congress, not money.

And urge every Congressperson you can to cosponser HR 333.

just a primary election money-raising strategy for Kucinich.

but about 30 years ago there was something going on in D.C. that a lot of people didn't like and there was a campaign where everyone who was against this sent a tea bag to the White House. So many were sent that whatever it was that we were fighting against was called off. Sorry --it's been so long ago I can't remember what it was all about. If anyone remembers this, post what it was about.

what it was either.

but the one I remember was a lot longer ago than that. I remember now that it was in protest of a huge raise proposed on the federal tax on coffee that would drive the cost way up. My son was small then so it had to be over 20 years ago.

brain, the 80's were a bit hazy for a dedicated hedonist such as myself.
*Woof - Thanks - *woof.

it too! But, the point was that something as simple as putting a tea bag in an envelope spread across the country and so many were sent that it actually made a difference. As I recall it was a campaign that was started by disc jockeys across the country. I'm surprised something like that has not been organized to send the message to the White House regarding the war.

then. There were literally hundreds of companies that owned radio stations, today 6 companies own 98% of all the stations, and they directly dictate what is and is not permitted to be said.

It really is worth your job to disobey the corporate masters today, ask Howard Stern.

..We should not have to brib our Reps to do the right thing.

already submitted the bill. it would be more like a reward . . . technically.

ellen fl

a symbolic show of support.

support to his campaign for Presidential election. Bribe my ass. :eyes:

...for HAVING DONE the right thing.

NGU.

That way, when people read your post and get enthused about the idea, they can click on a link immediately and make their donation.

It wasn't easy to find the "contribute button."

http://kucinich.us/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1

The reason for the contribution is explicit. I'll decide who to support later, but at least this empowers a voice we need right now with a message of specific support for today's action!

Now, where can I get a pink ribbon??

i snuck one for you. or you can take your pick:

Thanks for the link--damn, that felt GOOD!

As one of our corporate "masters" says, "just do it!"

Dennis is a mench!

Spread the word, vote for impeachment with plastic or Pay Pal.

AND, it feels soooooo ooo Goooood.

is the appropriate way to thank the Congressman for taking action.

Obviously, send as much as often as you can to Dennis K. This guy really grows on you!

I've sent off a few e-mails too already.

Kucinich made my day. History will remember April 24.

3333 Reasons Why The DSM is Important

hope it gets her attention.

Finally, a really great use for a credit card!!!! I'll have to frame this monthly statement.

Go Dennis!!

...and the Kucinich campaign told everyone else.

That's the key to the idea, and to populism generally. If enough people do it ... then notice must be taken.

Meanwhile, at the very least we are sending our voices of support, voting with plastic. I'll decide who I support later in the process, but I do support the impeachment resolution.

That's my 333 cents worth.

hes got my $3.33!

By supporting Kucinich in this bold act, you'll be sending a message that Taking A Stand is a way to GET votes, not lose them. Whoever your candidate may be, you'll be telling them to get real--IMPEACH!

get rid of them both...

I would like him to know
that a statement is being made...
Can someone contact?

in a week or so we'll see. More than a dozen posters here have done it.
How many more w/o posting? I'm sure they are taking notice by now.

Make it $3.33 or $6.66 if you are voting to support impeaching (or 10x, etc.).

I just did a mailing to 100 people. If they each do 100 ...... If each reader does 100 ...

We'll know it's a real prairie fire when they start coming back to our own inboxes!

they are all sending in 3.33 or 6.66
to make the statement.
I'll keep on doing it, Captain!

a check? :hide:

====================
This is not an endorsement of any candidate.
It is one concerned citizen's effort to reinforce
the impeachment resolution, HR 333, with some positive feedback.

Noone paid for this. :rofl:

Sent $3.33 just now.

If he can convince a whole lot of other Congressmen to co-sponsor his bill, then I will be impressed. Right now it just looks like a campaign stunt to me.

Indeed, let's convince every Congressperson to cosponser House Resolution 333. However, this is not ther forum where one does that.

And, what else can we do? Any ideas appreciated. How about:

Secretly reading their e-mails w/o a warrant.
Spying on their political activities.
Secret detentions, torture, and interrogation.
Waterboarding.
Forced sexually explicit posing.
Illegally invading gated suburbs.

Any other ideas?

:patriot:

I got a ton of people to sign it at school today (including some of my teachers) and plan on getting more tomorrow.

California Democrats Endorse Impeachment
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3242039

The California Democratic Party approved a resolution on Sunday to begin withdrawing U.S. soldiers from Iraq and calling on Congress to investigate the actions of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and take appropriate action, including impeachment.

......

The impeachment resolution calls on Congress to investigate abuses of power by Bush and to "take necessary action to call the administration to account with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment." .......

Two U.S. House Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors to Dennis Kucinich's resolution seeking to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. They are William Lacy Clay, from St. Louis, and Jan Schakowsky, of Chicago. Neither was immediately available to discuss their reasons but their spokesmen confirmed their support for impeachment.
