Chesapeake Citizens

Four Humorous Holiday Lobbying Videos for Impeachment, Peace, and Congressional Accountablity

December 13, 2007

Thanks to video editor extraordinaire Margaret Flowers!!

Chesapeake Citizens: Holiday Lobbying: Two Chesapeake Carolers sing Accountability is Coming to Town in D.C.'s Union Station. They visit the office of their pro-war Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski (D) and deliver a stocking with coal and impeachment cookies. Mrs. Santa reads aloud a 'naughty, naughty' letter advising Senator Mikulski with detailed steps on how she might become the courageous anti-war leader Marylanders crave in 2008.

PLEASE SING ALONG! YOUTUBE HAS REMOVED THE AUDIO PORTION OF OUR YOUTUBE BUT YOU CAN STILL FOLLOW BY SINGING TO THE TUNE OF 'SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN'

"Oh you've had a bad year

Killing Iraqis and troops

Disobeying the law by not impeaching those crooks

Accountability is coming to town!

With your misguided laws stealing our treasure away

You've launched a cruel war on the middle class and poor

Accountability is coming to town!

We see right through your double speak

We know who's paid you what

We know you think you own our place

But you've really screwed it up!

Oh your laws are a joke

Our kids could do more

You're squandering national treasure on war

Accountability is coming to town!"

Chesapeake Citizens Sing Carols at the Capitol: Our Carolers sing Dashing to K Street/Accountability Blues and I'm Dreaming of an Impeachment outside the U.S. Capitol building with more than a dozen new friends from around the world.

Chesapeake Citizens: Impeachment Preserves the Constitution: Our Carolers perform a humorous skit on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building, and visit the office of House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) to deliver a strong "naughty, naughty" letter and a stocking with coal because he has not brought forth Articles of Impeachment against Cheney and Bush.

Chesapeake Citizens: Congress Baby: The Carolers deliver a thank you letter and a big tin of cookies to Representative and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) because Rep. Kucinich has been one member of Congress who has consistently voted on behalf of all Americans in every vote he has cast in Congress, and he has introduced Articles of Impeachment against Cheney. Then they sing Congress Baby (to the tune of 'Santa Baby') to his young staffers.
