Leftovers: George And The Giant Impeach
• It begins! On Nov. 11, there’s going to be a rally for impeachment at the Constitution Center, along with speakers and a blogger panel. Oh, these next two years are going to be fun no matter what happens. [Suburban Guerilla] • Both of Council Rock’s two high schools are closed today due to a threat. Dammit, this shit is so 1999. (As is that phase.) Seriously, kids, you need to stop. [Bucks County Courier Times] • State Rep. Matt Wright, who got his opponent’s ads off the air by threatening to sue, lost to Chris King yesterday in his re-election bid for State House. Then again, he was the guy who wrote an column defending the pay raise, so perhaps it’s not all that surprising. [Doylestown Intelligencer] • Best two headlines in a row award goes to Badminton Stamps, for “Tina Fey Slings That Crack Cocaine” followed by “Judd Hirsch Slings That Crack Cocaine.” Kudos, guys.

Take a moment, and help convince Nancy Pelosi to Impeach..
The day the nation demands impeachment is upon us. Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Nancy Pelosi’s office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).
There’s a little known and rarely used clause of the “Jefferson Manual” in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.
That’s where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help to convince Pelosi to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.
