I know that some are not signing it because they aren't Canadian. But God help them if they come up here,
go through an airport and GET UPSET!

284 Wellington Street
Ottawa, Ontario

We the people of Canada demand an immediate cease in use of tasers by all Canadian police forces and a full independent public inquiry into the Vancouver/Montreal taser deaths.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Hi Ladybroadoak,

This is off topic, but wanted to share with you some information on theh "Remove Pelosi effort": Here's a sample comment thread, where you'll see how it goes (many excuses not to listen):

It starts here:

I thought I would forward you the information (responses) to give you an idea of the type of "reaction" (stonewall) that's out there. Perhaps you and others may have some ideas on how to better present the suggestion/idea to make way for impeachment and removing Pelosi.

Thank you for your support.

LadyBroadoak,

Thank you for your blog. This comment is off topic, but good news: There's a comment at 2:32 which attempts to better frame the discussion. Hopefully, it better incorporates some of the opposition's concerns, and better lays out the reasons to support the effort. Thanks again for your blog, and best wishes.

Call Insider DNC To Remove Pelosi

Here's an interesting one:
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=9786

There's already within the DNC an effort to Remove Pelosi. Why not get this on the table now:

QUOTE:
Pelosi's been talking a good game, but her party's numbers aren't holding up," says a Democratic leadership aide who is working behind the scenes to remove Pelosi after the mid-term elections.

In fact, a number of people are working behind the scenes to remove Pelosi. According to congressional sources, her deputy, Democratic whip Rep. Steny Hoyer, and his staff have been making it clear to a number of different business interest groups that they do not support Pelosi's virulently anti-business positions and that they are more than willing to help.

"What comes across is that Hoyer wants Pelosi's job. He knows it will take money to do it and he's reaching out to groups that normally don't have followings in Democratic circles, such as telecom, small businesses and various chamber of commerce groups," says a lobbyist for a manufacturers coalition. "Hoyer's fundraisers are making it clear that his leadership PAC is becoming a good venue to kill two birds with one stone: get our issues heard and work against Pelosi."
ENDQUOTE

--- The issue: Just because Stoyer "wants" her job, it doesn't mean he has the support of the GOP and DNC to do that. The DNC can be mobilized with the GOP to defy both Pelosi and Stoyer.

Stoyer, just because he's the Majority Leader, doesn't mean that the Majority will vote to support him, especially since the Majority -- in the House -- have defied him and Pelosi on impeachment.

Let's find out who else is working -- within Congress, now -- to unseat Pelosi; and ask, "Why aren't they openly defying her now that she's (apparently) blocking the investigation into Cheney?"
