[CitizensTruth] Bush Impeachment bill to be voted on today!

[Kris Knight]

Thanks, wise and brilliant Hal.
And now it is on the record exactly who voted what and I think that  
gives the American people more information than they had before re.  
the upcoming election and moving forward.  It literally laid out on  
the table for them, verbally even, exactly what they are or are not  
stepping up to the plate to address.  It sorts them all out in terms  
of their ball quotient and I think that helps.  I have long thought it  
helpful to know just who is in my court and who is not.  I for one  
would not have wanted to go down in the record of this country as NOT  
supporting this measure, had it come up to an official count, which it  
has.  And also, should this come up again, it now shows how many more  
it would take to pass this proposition.
And it clearly shows Dennis' courage --- this present day David  
standing up to the Goliath of our collectively brain/conscience- 
damaged body of Government called Congress.
In his keynote address at the Media Reform Conference, Bill Moyers  
likened what is going on to what goes on for an alcoholic, and I would  
say it could be likened to other major addictions as well.  We  
collectively have many characteristics of a severely addicted  
individual and UNdoing an addiction is a very messy business and is  
never fun or easy.  And usually there is MUCH damage to clean up,
I just returned from the Media Reform Conference.  There are some  
stunning individuals who have come forth through that organization,  
and it is clear to me, for the third time attending as a concerned  
citizen,  that mobilizing around media reform is one of the seminal  
necessities in pushing both back at the current psychopathic addictive  
behaviors who keep exerting their pathological and egocentric  
decisions, and also steering new policy toward moving forward in a way  
that makes not only survival but transformation possible.
It is clear we will change, we will cope in one way or another.  A  
media that helps to bring us together through keeping us honestly  
informed of what is going on is  a major part of that, cuz one way or  
t'other, we're going through this transition, folks, which is far  
larger than any one or several governments on Mama Earth.  And  
relative to where we all live, here on a very busily transitioning  
Mother Earth, we ARE in this all together.  And I count myself  
fortunate to have come to know Hal, who deserves a very large  
expression of gratitude for facilitating this group multi-logue...
