Sing It! “Impeach the President”

According to polls, as Rosa Brooks writes in a column in the LATimes, the people have at last woken up to the lies of the current administration, even if they’re too apathetic to do anything about it.

What would happen if mainstream Americans [demonstrated their opposition]? If the 33% of Americans who think Bush should be impeached took to the streets to peaceably express their views, that would be almost 100 million marchers — enough to wake up even the most somnolent of politicians. If the 47% of Americans who think U.S. troops should leave Iraq ASAP actually marched on Washington, our troops would already be on their way home. If the 60% of Americans who disapprove of Bush’s job performance decided to stage a peaceful sit-in outside the White House, they’d spill over into a dozen neighboring states, and the American political machine would grind to a screeching halt.

Now, Neil Young has taken action, recording a song called, yes, "Impeach the President." It should be out in about two months, with, according to Editors & Publishers, a 100-voice choir.
