In creating a social and political satire by lampooning the political process and the mainstream media, we hope to raise awareness to, and take action against, credible evidence that suggests that terrible crimes against humanity have been executed in the name of the United States of America.
In the simplest of terms, Mission:Impeachable is a satirical cartoon. To create this cartoon, this project will attempt to assemble, through its website, a wide range of talent, such as artists, designers, writers, comedians, musicians, technologists, programmers, animators, sound designers, voice artists, actors, researchers, and other volunteers. All concerned citizens are welcome to join this effort and contribute in any way possible. Concerned citizens? Concerned about what?We are concerned that the very foundation of the Constitution of the United States, and therefore the entire government as a whole, is under attack by fundamentalists, radicals, criminals, would-be criminals, elected officials, politicians, war-mongers, and a corporate culture that profits from death, destruction, poverty, disease and the suppression of God-given human rights.

After the core Creative Team has been assembled, work will begin on a seven episode series focusing mainly on the key principles of the Bush Administration. Those key figures include: President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Perhaps 2006 will be the Year of the Cartoon.
In a coffee shop, on a very cold day in Los Angeles, one of the Project’s founders recalls the following:

It was then that this group of art students began dismissing the controvery that was erupting around them — that controversy that began in February 2006 when a Dutch newspaper printed a cartoon that depicted the Prophet Mohammed in a light inconsistent with the teachings of Islam. To the art students, much was made about nothing. They cynically pointed out that Muslims were unable to cope in a free world. Traditions that were centuries old were outdated concepts compared to modern ideas like Freedom of the Press. After all, this Freedom not only guaranteed the “right to offend someone” but also the “right to be offended” which Westerners accept as a trade-off. Then, the students, who were mostly wealthy Asian-American trust fund types probably with a penchant for being late to Drawing Class, were quick to point out “Besides, it’s just a piece of art.”

I could not disagree more with their observations, if only for the reason that such things in life are not that simple. But, they really missed the point. In the midst of years of violence and military action, it took a drawing to bring people to the streets. And as the content of that two-dimensional expression was so offensive to so many people, it was the simplicity of the message — a simple sketch with little or no words — that conveyed more than bombs, guns and tanks.

It is NOT the purpose of this creative exercise to create an offensive cartoon, so with that said, maybe this is not the best example. But it does illustrate the effectiveness of communicating a message in simple terms. This is especially true in a world of spin, where political opponents spar back and forth to the point where there is more than one reality. It is at this moment that we start to question what we do know as truth.
