I’m donating my diary quota today to stark. Diary below is hers.
This is not defeatism. This is a realistic assessment of the situation:

THEY AREN’T LISTENING.

They are deleting the emails, throwing away the faxes, ignoring the
phone
calls.

It is time we let them know, in person, live-in-the-flesh and in living
color: greetings from your friendly neighborhood nutcase! I would like
to
kindly request that you start doing your motherfucking JOB because I am
tired of paying your salary for NOT doing your job.

 Awww. You wanna call me names? Tsk. Tsk. That’s not very
nice
of you. Pls understand, it’s tax time again, so I’m feeling a little
more
uppity than usual, cause you see, I got this check here to write to the
IRS.
And I’m tired of paying for flag-draped coffins and ice trucks that
never
arrive in NOLA, yaknow? I’m tired of paying you to sit around and look
pretty and pander to the ‘swing voters’ to the right of the
left-that-isn’t-even-left.

So I have come to politely and kindly request that you get off your
fucking
lying-in-the-lameass-lap-of-luxury campaign tour and DO YOUR JOB.

Our Mission: to persuade each of our Representatives to
support
Impeachment: Support John Conyers’ Watergate-style investigation
(H.Res.
635) of Bush’s Iraq War lies – and immediately introduce Articles of
Impeachment for Bush and Cheney

Getting Out of Iraq: Support John Murtha’s bill to remove troops from
Iraq
(H.J. Res 73) and Jim McGovern’s bill to end funding for the Iraq War
(H.R.
4232)

The Problem: For a year, we have tried all of the traditional
lobbying
techniques including marches, petitions, emails, letters, calls, town
hall
forums, and even face-to-face meetings with our Representatives. Yet
despite
all this effort, not one Representative is willing to introduce
Articles of
Impeachment, while fewer than 30 have co-sponsored Rep. Conyers’
Watergate-style investigation. On Iraq, John Murtha’s bill has nearly
100
co-sponsors but not the 218 needed to force a floor vote; Jim
McGovern’s
bill has fewer than 20 co-sponsors, even though George Bush just asked
for
$120 billion more for a war America does not support and cannot
afford.

The Solution: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King faced
far
worse resistance from political leaders when they tried to end
segregation
in the South. So they took their movement to the streets and marched
peacefully directly into the face of that resistance. We will take our
inspiration from them, and bring our movement peacefully into the face
of
our resistance: the 435 Members of Congress who are supposed to
represent us
but refuse to do so. (We’ll make an exception for the House Honor Roll
–
Members who support our three priority bills above. For those Members,
we
will focus on Member Meetings to persuade them to introduce Articles of
Impeachment.)

Home Protests: Every weekend, we will march peacefully in front of the
homes
of our Representatives. (We suggest Saturday at 10:00 a.m. because that
is
when Members are most likely to be home, but local groups can set their
own
times.) We will carry signs and distribute flyers to their neighbors
with
our simple demands.  Here are flyers to print and hand out. If
your
group is really energetic, here are some “extra credit” ideas.

Birddogging: Whenever our Representatives appear at public events in
our
communities, we will protest peacefully with our signs and flyers

Member Meetings: We want to schedule face-to-face meetings with our
Representatives in their district offices to get immediate action on
our
legislative demands. The best dates are:

February 20-24–Presidents Day Recess

March 17-24–St. Patrick’s Day Recess

* March 19: 3rd anniversary of start of war

April 10-21–Easter Recess
