WHY IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY?
When I was a boy of 9(1963), my brother-in-law supported my sister and their four children on his earnings as a truck driver, hauling hay to dairy farms. They owned a new home in Carlton Hills, CA, a pickup, car, and had a huge pile of presents at Christmas. I will never forget that pile of Christmas presents. My brother-in-law did not believe in credit and except for the house, everything was paid for. Sound like the same America we have today? Not hardly. What happened?
Corporate America happened. Infiltration of our Congress happened. Complicity with foreign governments happened. Seduction into debt happened. Destruction of labor unions happened. And of course, an executive power grab happened following the tragedy of September 11, 2001. All of these developments have left the American people without a voice in directing our nation
and preserving our personal livelihoods. PTI believes impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney is the required public response to all of the above, and that it is an action that can reunite and bring our People back into the process of government.
Though we have our differences, the collapse of democracy in America happened to Republicans as much as Democrats.
Conspirators in government design issues in ways to divide us; such as making the war an issue of peace versus supporting our troops and pro-life/pro-choice. These tactics are implemented to keep us at odds with each other and from relating to the fact that the vast majority of us have the same common concerns and the same freedoms and rights to lose if these conspirators are
allowed to continue with their plans.
Most Americans now feel that the two-party system no longer exists and are aware of the
danger of electronic voting machines. But PTI believes that the root of the problem is in the nominating process.
Democracy is designed to allow citizens to choose the best man or woman from among their fellows to represent them at the local, state, and federal level. But this is not what happens today. Today, not only are candidates not drafted by the community, they are not even drafted by the party. They are drafted by a conglomerate of wealthy and powerful interests, some of whom are not even American or have duel citizenship.
The scope of the problem is great and so is the solution. But first we must organize. To the mind of PTI, once American workers lost their power in the work-place they lost it in government. Ever since Ronald Reagan fired over 11,000 higly skilled air-traffic controllers the hunt for the working man and woman was on. Since those days of deregulation, management has been drunk
with power and profits. Meanwhile, our people have been subjected to years of divisive propaganda and social engineering until we are effectively disorganized, divided, and defeatist. Every American has been reduced to a hyphenated identity; Afro-American, Irish-American, Japanese-American, Mexican-American, while even our most honored founding fathers are
incessently denigrated and redefined as racists and hypocrites in order to disconnect us from our heritage and further weaken our national identity.
PTI believes the only way to restore representative government under the present circumstances is through re-uniting our people, first at the local precinct level, then by township, county, state, and finally as a nation. As all other options prove ineffective and Congress convinces more people that they are not going to act, our strategy is slowly taking hold in the
imaginations of more and more incensed Americans. PTI is calling on Americans in every community to find your allies among your neighbors and form your own local strike force, ready and waiting for the strike date to be announced once we have enough people on board to insure the effectiveness of the action.
There are PTI organizers in several states working to bring their neighbors together in the cause of defending our democracy. In Tennessee, a diner owner has not only signed a pledge to stay home when the strike is called, but has requested a PTI poster be placed in his window, announcing that the diner will be closed during the strike and telling people to come inside and learn about the movement to mount a national strike for impeachment. Already people are sending others to the diner of the man who has the courage to stand up to tyranny. We are working to duplicate this in the privately owned diners and coffee shops across America.
The beginnings are in motion. Our cause is not only to impeach Bush and Cheney but to also prevent the spilling of a single drop of blood, with a strong and comprehensive plan for effective passive resistance. PTI thinks we have such a Plan and asks that you read the Plan, Sign a Pledge, and start Organizing your precinct. Time is running short.
Once Bush/Cheney exit office without prosecution, the effort to stop the runaway train toward tyranny becomes nearly impossible. The next president will inherit all the expanded powers collected under the Bush Administration without any of their crimes. Under the new administration, we will be subjected to the will of those in power without any case to keep them at bey.
Today we can still stop them without ever breaking a law, getting arrested, getting pepper sprayed, netted, or tasered. Not a drop of blood need be spilled. When we have the law, the truth, and the People with us,

we will win. I guarantee it.
