> Cynthia McKinney censored in congressional record- Is someone afraid of the word IMPEACHMENT?

Impeachment is in there, but its a little indirect. Is there any way to get better video documentation in our public institutions?
Rep McKinney, don’t let the people calling you racist get to you. Im sure you dont need to be told this, but I had to say it anyway. I stand with you, and it’s obvious from these posts that many many other people do as well. The problem is even if we were to parade Bush down Pennsylvania avenue in handcuffs (possibly the single greatest thing we as a nation could do to lessen the threat of terrorism, both international fundamentalist based and american government based) it still leaves his puppetiers in their thrones. Im becoming more convinced by the day that the only way to save our democracy and avert a global catastrophy is an all out restructuring of the system, starting over from a blank sheet and making sure that fascists cant pull strings behind closed doors. Will it ever happen? Probably not, but we can try our damndest.
As a white person born and raised in the United States (but currently ashamed to be titled as an ’American’) I stand firmly with you for full equality for all, regardless of our differences. I stand just as firmly with you to bring to justice the criminals who have hijacked our democracy, and have been doing so for far longer than either of us has been alive. The american people need to wake up to the reality that these anti-democratic forces are not represented by a few people who have stumbled into power. This internal coup has been generations in the works, and represents a level of criminal cronyism that I can’t think of any historical precedent for (and Im a history/international studies major).
I’d say keep the faith, but faith is defined, aside from a belief in god, as a belief in something without cause or reason. You have ample cause, ample reason, and so much more. You have truth and justice in your corner, though Im sad to say the traditional ’American Way’ doesn’t do much for either those or our cause.
I’m doing a thesis on the abduction of history and the gross missportrayal of american heritage in our collective and popular history (Columbus, the genocide enacted on American Indians, American righeousness following WW2, etc.) I would be honored to interview you about your experiences as an exellent primary source. I will try to get in touch with you through your website as my research progresses.
