. . .When we challenge them to act and challenge their bogus "reasons" for dereliction, our principle goal is to make impeachment a reality before the 110th Congress adjourns.

But that is not the ONLY goal. If we are unable to wake them up and make them our champions in time, our efforts have other payoffs. As we fight we engage others who are more likely to join future battles. And when we force them to "defend" their dereliction we gather ammo (i.e., their own immoral and assinine "defenses") that primary challengers can use to defeat them. . .
