South Dakota Right-Wingers have lost their doggone minds!

South Dakota Republican Party Votes to Impeach the President

On Saturday June 21, at the South Dakota Republican Party’s annual convention in Rapid City, delegates voted 191-176 in favor of a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama.

According to Sioux Falls Argus Leader and Huffington Post articles, the Resolution states that President Obama has "violated his oath of office in numerous ways", specifically citing the trade of five Taliban detainees for POW Bowe Bergdahl, the much-hyped campaign promise that people would be able to keep their existing health insurance under the ACA, and the recent EPA proposal curbing emissions from coal power plants. "Therefore, be it resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party calls on our U.S. Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States," the Resolution reads.

Sponsor of the resolution, Allen Unruh of Sioux Falls, claimed he had "a thick book on impeachable offenses of the President" and called on South Dakota to "send a symbolic message that liberty shall be the law of the land." In lockstep with Tea Party ideologues, his interpretation of “liberty” appears to be people, policies and laws I agree with.

As I stated in my previous post - Why isn't Anybody talking About 2014?, we've seen what "repubs" do when they get power. Operating solely on hate, those 191 South Dakota delegates acted on their ultimate fantasy, destroying Barack Obama's Presidency.

Elections have consequences!

The Impeachment process would begin in the House and would only need a simple majority to pass. Then at that point would go to the Senate for their vote. This is serious business. Just the House initiating the process would essentially destroy President Obama's legacy. 

We have the power and the votes to take over the House and gain seats in the Senate.

All it takes is the will and commitment to get out and vote and register others to get out and vote in the 2014 Mid-term Elections!

Why Isn't Anybody talking about 2014?

Hillary Clinton? Chris Christie, Scott Walker? - 2016? - Who Cares?

Benghazi, Benghazi  Benghazi.

The Republicans got this mantra locked because Democrats continue to buy into this notion that anything "Repubs" say is even remotely the truth and to say anything against those lies is what, the kiss of death?

Every person in this country should have the 2014 midterm elections in their sight, on their agenda, be committed to getting out and registering voters. There are serious issues at hand:  Elections have consequences.

Voter suppression, Women's health, Minimum wage, Medicaid expansion.

If we don't hold the Senate and take over the House - 2016 is irrelevant. We've seen what "repubs" do when they get power:

Attack women's rights, pass legislation to make it more difficult to vote, support the NRA.  In essence let a faction of crazy people take over the Country. God knows the "repubs" can't reign in the Tea Party. Hell they welcomed them, thought they could control them and are now reaping the world wind. Thanks to gerrymandering and the Supreme Court, over 50 years of struggle and sacrifice have been decimated.  When is enough, enough?

This weekend, June 21st - marks the 50 year Anniversary of Freedom Summer and the murders of three courageous young men:  James Chaney, age, 21, Andrew Goodwin, age, 20 and Michael Schwerner, age, 23.

They were gunned down by the Klu Klux Klan and buried in a 15-foot earthen dam in Philadelphia, Mississippi.  It took 44 days to find their bodies. They died standing up for the right to vote. Believing in the importance of that right for our Democracy.  Their sacrifice so engaged and enraged this country that in 1964 President Lyndon Johnson signed into law The Civil Rights Act.

Today, in 2014 will we allow their deaths to have been in vain?

This is our Freedom Summer. What are we going to do with it?

Hillary Clinton? Chris Christie, Scott Walker? - 2016? Who Cares?

And again, I ask. Why isn't anybody talking about 2014?

Benghazi, Benghazi  Benghazi.

Democrats!  Please!

FOCUS!!!!!
