BTW, some of the fights you cite should have been DIRECTLY connected to the fight for Impeachment. For example, on Alito, the lobbying efforts that focused 100% on the fact that Alito is a key promoter of the fascist fantasy of a unitary authoritarian executive, chipped away at their denial of the horror of that treasonous doctrine.

But, too few made that the exclusive focus. When people labeled Alito as "too conservative," "a threat to Roe" or "a threat to environmental protections," -- they were skirting the truth about

1. The "doctrines" he subscribes to (i.e., the fascist fantasies he invokes to convince himself -- and us -- that the Bush Syndicate crimes are not crimes) or


2. His role in the fascist invasion of our government (i.e., putting Alito on the Supreme Court is a GIANT leap forward in their march to render the Constitution we established for the United States of America permanently null and void, and make their vision of a Stalinist Unitary Authoritarian Executive a reality.)

Alito is a co-conspirator in their treasonous effort to nullify our constitution. When we took up the fight to reject him, we would have been far more effective if we had focused SOLELY on rejecting the lunacy of a Stalinist unitary authoritarian executive in America. "Piling on" other labels or arguments only muddies the water.

I don't mean to minimize the importance of protecting the environment or Roe. Certainly, if we render the planet uninhabitable, it won't much matter whether America was a dictatorship or a constitutional democracy. But our first job is to restore legitimate authority. Americans can only have a role in creating rational global and domestic environmental policy if we have a functioning constitutional democracy capable of enacting and enforcing our collective will.

Any effort that confronts them with the stark realities of our predicament supports our demands Impeachment.

Facing Facts
<my shot at a summary of the stark realities Americans must confront>

The Bush racketeers gleefully conspire to thwart the will of the American people to grab and consolidate the power they believe they are entitled to. They view the rest of humanity as pawns to be manipulated to their own ends. They twist reality to justify the atrocities they commit in our name. For them, "We the People" means "We the 'Right' People; We the Powerful and Superior." As superior beings, great wealth is their natural reward. Since no law defined by others applies to them, any avenue that yields their "due" are open for their exploitation.

Their crowning achievement (pun intended) was the theft of the American Presidency in 2001.

On January 6th, 2001, Congress counted the illegal electoral votes from Florida, and thus failed in its duty to preserve the government. Since that date, our Constitution has been in breach.

As long as we permit them to remain in power, our laws and regulations aren't worth the paper they are printed on. The fascist Bush syndicate refuses to enforce and flagrantly violates those laws. We must face facts and stop supporting the pretense of their legitimacy by offering plans to them, or trying to influence their agenda.

Our only option is to fight them at every turn, and ultimately force Bush, Cheney, and their co-conspirators out of power. Forcing them from power is a protective/defensime measure. Once that is accomplished, they must face judgment and punishment for their crimes at the Hague.

These are the truths we must confront our leaders with -- and we need to do it as citizen lobbyists, in face-to-face dialog, where we can challenge their rationalizations.

It's daunting, but any of us can become a citizen lobbyist and ask to meet with the members of Congress who represent you (sample meeting request)
