raise money, impeach bush.

Bulldog Manifesto of the Impeach Bush Coalition just sent out this email:

Subject: All Hands on Deck! The IBC and AfterDowningStreet.Org Need Your Help NOW!

"The Impeach Bush Coalition (IBC) needs you right HERE and right NOW! IBC member Luke Ryland a.k.a. "Lukery" of the blog Wot is it Good 4 has teamed up with the people at AfterDowningStreet.Org to spearhead a fundraising effort to collect donations for the purpose of pooling money together to hire the mainstream pollsters to conduct nationwide surveys on matters of impeaching George W. Bush.

We need to come together and make our donations so that we can find out how America feels about impeachment NOW.

Does the public favor an investigation into grounds for impeachment? Does a majority of the public want impeachment right away? What are the most popular reasons for wanting Bush impeached? What does the public think about various other proposals to hold accountable the architects of this war?

We have no way of knowing, because the pollsters aren't asking. One pollster did ask about impeachment in June. This Zogby Poll from June 30, 2005, found that a remarkable 42 percent of Americans favored impeachment if Bush lied about the reasons for the war.

How does America feel about impeachment NOW?!?!"

Thanks BM.

Full disclosure - ive been so busy trying to get all this stuff organised that i hadnt donated yet - i was having some downtime on a sunday night and figured now would be a good time. So i plugged a $100 into the site and then went to fill in my creditcard details - only to learn that my expiry is 09/05. doh! do they normally send out new cards before the expiry? i havent seen my new one - not that i even bother opening mail most of the time. i'll have a look around tomorrow and see if ive missed the new card in the mail. In any case - we've raised over $4000 in the first 36 hours - and we can bank on my franklin - so thats over $4100. We havent had any media coverage yet, and the email announcement only went out at 2pm Friday - so thats a pretty good start. pass that hat around amongst your friends.

update - Bulldog Manifesto has just posted over at dkos - go over there and recommend. remember, his previous post (a copy of my original "zogby is in roves pocket") was recommended over there.
