One year into the Quagmire, the young people of our country are rising in opposition to the policies of this youth-hostile administration and the Quisling-run schools that they attend.

Censure Bush

Censure is a step short of impeachment which members of the Republican Congress might be willing to take. It implies a formal reprimand of pResident Bush for lying to Congress and to the American people about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
