Last night my husband attended a conference call town hall meeting with Rep. Sam Farr. He took questions, so my husband took the opportunity to ask him this question: "Will George Bush be impeached and will this be completed before the end of his term"?

Rep. Farr answered by saying there is not enough time to impeach him before the end of his term. The impeachment is blocked by Speaker Pelosi and can't get enough support from the House or the Senate. This impeachment case has been put in the Judicial Committee for review (among many other cases from this administration). Rep. Farr said this does not excuse them from their crimes and they will continue to pursue impeachment after the presidency.

Rep. Farr continued to say there is a lot at stake right now as far as his own seat in the House is concerned. There is a lot of work to do to get the right people elected into so many seats that will be up for grabs (my own words, but that is the general idea of what he said). I'm assuming that since this is the case, many congressmen/women will not have their attention on impeachment because they are all worried about staying in office.

From what I can see, the Judicial Committee has many documented cases they are looking at because they don't want any stone unturned as far as all these criminal acts are concerned. They want it all documented for future reasons, one of which is they want to pursue these cases into the next presidency.

My husband then said he thought it would be appropriate if Rep. Farr was Speaker of the House as Farr chuckled and said "thank you for your compliment".

A young man who is a veteran of Iraq then was on the phone concerned about veteran benefits. He said we live in the richest country in the world and can't give enough to our veterans! So Farr went on to speak about what our area is doing for veterans. The veteran clinic in Monterey is expanding and the former Fort Ord empty military base has many future plans, one of which is a veteran's cemetary built on it, which they are starting now. They started out by building a state university on that land after they did an environmental clean up on it. Now they are thinking about what else to do with it.

That is a little bit of how our town hall meeting went. I am glad to know they will continue to pursue impeachment into the next presidency. To me it sounds like they are trying to cover all these cases and have a lot to do.

Rep. Farr is one of the people signed on to Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment. I thought I would let people know a little bit of his thinking. The funny thing about this is that Rep. Farr talks to everyone and doesn't say things like "you aren't my constituent so I can't talk to you". My husband is a Republican (who will not advocate for that Party now), but Farr has him on his list of correspondence. I'm a Democrat and once tried to communicate with Pelosi by email. She wrote back saying I'm not her constituent thus cannot talk to me! Sometimes I wonder if we should even have any such thing as a political party!

Rep. Robert Wexler D-FL is one of only 7 House members to sign on to HR 1258 (the resolution to impeach Bush). His reward has been to get an "independent Democratic" spoiler, Ben Graber, challenging him this year. Shouldn't we stand by one of the very few who supports one of our chief aims and add him to those for whom Democrats.com is raising funds? Or is this site a cynical ruse to get money from progressives for DNC favorites, and not for those who stand up for the positions stated on the site?

He's an excellent advocate for progressive political thinking for the Democratic Party. He's always on target. There is no reason to think otherwise if you hear him speak.
