To impeach or not to impeach? That is the question...
While some people believe that Clinton should have been impeached for the Monica Lewinsky scandal, I do not. First of all, what happened between Clinton and Lewinski didn't affect the nation, nor could it have. You have to think of Clinton as an average person to determine whether or not he should have been impeached. In our country, we don't go around firing people who have affairs. Why should Clinton be treated any differently? Also, there are many instances in the current administration that could have merited an impeachment measure in Congress, but haven't. If you compare the actions of our current and former president, I feel that what has been done in the last five years is considerably worse (wiretapping, lying to the public about matters that concern them, etc.) Some say that the president shouldn't lie to the American people, but if we decided to impeach every single president that ever lied to us, we'd have impeached just about everyone (including George Washington, there's no evidence that he EVER chopped down a cherry tree, let alone told his father about it :D)

Do-It-Yourself Impeachment, no joke.
The Citizens' movement!
The day the nation demands impeachment is almost upon us. On Jan 3rd, sacks and sacks of mail will be sent to congress demanding impeachment via the House of Representative's own rules. 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 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, part of the movement to impeach the president, 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.
STOP WAITING FOR YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ACT FOR YOU.
You can initiate the impeachment process yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.
