David Swanson endorses Mark Manley for OK1

Written by: T Nuspl on Jul 14, 2008 4:09 PM EDT

Manley's efforts have been recognized by AfterDowningStreet.org, the impeachment coalition organized by David Swanson, our premiere impeachment activist, at the national level.

Manley is listed as follows online at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/2008candidates

Pro-Impeachment Candidates for the U.S. House, Senate, and White House in 2008

Oklahoma

Mark Manley, OK-1, Democrat, http://www.manleyforcongress.com

Manley has also been mentioned for a month on Democrats.com "the Aggressive Progressives"
His name prominently displayed here: http://www.democrats.com/primary-2008
With the campaign inaugural press release here:  http://www.democrats.com/node/16799

It is also clear that the local Tulsa Impeachment Committee http://www.impeachok1.org endorses Manley.  How do we get a "grassroots support" listing for ImpeachOK1 on Manley's campaign page here on DFA?

Meanwhile, the lack of support from Netroots Nation for the impeachment efforts led by Congressmen Kucinich and Wexler is becoming a source of embarassment.  This entry from Bob Fertik's blog:

"The closest NetrootsNation comes to "accountability" is a panel which entirely ignores the fact that Democrats control the House and Senate now, and instead postpones any form of accountability until 2009."

"Support Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler in their heroic efforts to hold impeachment hearings on topics like Bush's pre-war lies and propaganda. If the secret work of the White House Iraq Group chaired by Karl Rove was exposed, it would be clear that pro-war punditry was not an accident, but a fully orchestrated campaign."

I would only add that it was an orchestrated conspiracy (word choice, as per constitutional lawyers' arguments) that led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  A conspiracy against America, against our Constitution, against Congress.

That the bluedogs do nothing while this party nominally has control of Congress is a sign that the Democrats, as a whole, are not fit to be governing.  The party leadership only has a few months left to get cracking on impeachment.
