If people sign petitions and write their senators they will realize how important an issue is to the "We the people".
"The Constitution gives to the Senate "the sole power to try impeachment

I'd Write my senators and let them know how I felt (that's what I did). They are the ones that pass the referendum for impeachment. It can be done and the more people who write the better the chance for it to happen. At the following website you can sign one but letters are better. http://www.democrats.com/impeach

There are only 2 ways that Articles of Impeachment can be started against a sitting President. One is thru the House of Representatives...so call your Congressperson.The other is thru the state legislatures using using Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives. Call your state legislators.
Once the Article of Impeachment are brought against the President, it then moves to the Senate for trial. The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court is the presiding judge.
And Clinton was not impeached. The Articles of Impeachment where brought against him, but in the Senate they cleared him.

Online petitions are a waste of everyone's time. They make you feel that you have undertaken some valuable action, but it is totally worthless.

If you want Bush impeached, call your senators. Organize and participate with groups that are trying to get Bush impeached.

Understand this is very unlikely to succeed. It may be more worthwhile to focus on participating in swinging the midterm elections to the Dems and get the Dem candidate elected in 2008.

All you have to do is start a petition and have people sign it with some type of identification that they are a registered voter. Petitions don't count for non-voters. If you can't vote you can't petition.

P. S. You have to have Just cause to ask for impeachment so unless you know something the rest of us don't then you don't have a snowballs chance in hell getting it passed.But heck, it will at least be amazing watching you make a fool of yourself.Knock yourself out.

P. s.s. I hope you are better looking then Cindy Sheehan because that was one ugly protester and you can see how she went over like a turd in a punch bowl.

You people make me luagh with dis **** man. You protest outside in the streets sign petitions and all of it is for nothing. Nothing ever happens when you do this except people like me laugh at your silly asses. Oh don't start on the well it's people like you that let him get into office in the first place. There is not one honest politician on this earth. Oh sure they start out with good intentions but they lose that **** quickly when they see all that extra cash and benefits they can make from being dishonest. I bet you are on of the "I told you so people" sit back and watch the train go off the track and wait to look like a hero during the recovery phase. Sign all the **** you want it doesn't matter.

Well, there are actually a number of sites around the web that have petitions you can sign which will then be forwarded to members of Congress, urging them to impeach Bush. Here is the biggest site. They actually have taken out full page ads in several big newspapers across the US. I think they have over 700,000 signatures so far.

We tried to have Nixon impeached. went about it in all the right ways.. turned the papers over to the Gov.. who told us to get the hell out of his office, tore the papers and threw them in the trash. Impeach Bush?? Who do you think would replace him?

1. Power to the people! Power to the people right now!
2. Dick Nixon, before Nixon ***** you..

Go into your bathroom with a pen, sit on your toilet, don't forget to put the lid down. Pull off a sheet of toilet paper, sign it, stand up, open the toilet lid, throw the signed toilet paper in, flush the toilet. Viola!!
