time to impeach the president?

[2eclipse]

i don't post political stuff all that often, but i have just finished listening to fresh air and i'm extremely concerned. please check out this NPR story for details.
it is an interview with a pulitzer prize winning journalist who has written a new book called the way of the world detailing how the executive branch of our government has used the CIA to run a mis-information campaign against the american people in order to get us to back war in iraq on false premises. the long and the short? they new that there were no weapons of mass destruction before we went to iraq and deliberately deceived the american people. this is an impeachable offense, and there is a law SPECIFICALLY against the CIA running misinformation against the american people. the journalist has recordings to back up the claims of his books.
i have to admit, i have believed this all along, and been against the war all along, so this doesn't come as a big surprise to me or to many of you. what concerns me is that maybe we have become blase about the whole thing. how will bush/cheney ever be brought to justice if there is no public momentum for impeachment? dennis kucinich has brought up impeaching the president several times and the proposal keeps being cast aside. i am going to write letters to my representative. if any of you care about this issue and feel the same way, i hope you will as well.

I only caught part of that story... honestly when it first came on I was like, didn't we already know all that? that's kind of old hat... so I guess I missed the part about trying to impeach the president.

what really sickens me is that they were trying to impeach clinton over something that was honestly IMO really trivial, and yet Bush/Cheney are getting away with killing massive amounts of people with no consequences. disgusting.

the whole thing is frustrating. no one seems to want to touch bush in any way. i mean, i remember people protesting stuff in front of the white house. now? you have to watch what you say/do.

who does one complain to? where does one complain to? in what form does one complain and not sound like a squeaky wheel crackpot? i'm all for impeachment, but being a non-politically oriented individual, i have no idea how one goes about actually making a difference in the world of politics.

it's not that i'm not willing to speak out, but i don't feel like squawking for the sake of squawking. if i'm gonna squawk, i want the right people to hear it and take it seriously, because it's likely that i will only squawk once.
