I was there.
I've got pics from the ground here.
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 Monday January 15th. 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 (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.

Speaking as an overweight long-hair, I must take umbrage. I am not a member of Nancy's base. I'm in my 50's and weigh over 300 pounds, so I qualify.
I have, in my past, voted Democratic, but that was a different Democratic party.
Aging and fat describes a good percentage of the population, you fool! If you want to disrespect someone for being a hippy, I suppose that's your choice, but you're not going to make any friends putting down old or fat folks.
Guess what? YOU'LL BE OLD ONE DAY! And it's amazing how even the skinniest folks get fat when they get older.
Regardless, your poor editorial skills are obvious. Instead of policy, you talk body-type. Look at the old, fat protestors! Look how they dress! They're so.. so... WEIRD!!! OMG!! (covers mouth with hand in teenage horror).
Here's how the Washington Post opened its Sunday (1/28) front page article on the anti-war rally:
"A raucous and colorful multitude of protesters, led by some of the aging activists of the past, staged a series of rallies and a march on the Capitol yesterday to demand that the United States end its war in Iraq."
OK, they didn't call them "fat" but two out of three ain't bad.
By the way, who says I'm not old? Wanna see my Vietnam draft card?
