Quote: impeachbush.com domain name is for sale.Â
We have received numerous inquiries and offers over the years for this premium, highly recognizable domain name, but an open and public online auction seemed the most fair and democratic approach to its sale.
On the exact day this auction ends, two full years of George W. BushÂs presidency will still be ahead of us. This domain name has never been developed or associated with any group, website, product, or movement, though its applicability as a focal point for fundraising, awareness raising, or commercial development is self-evident.Â
The Âdot.com domain name format has long been the gold standard. With no previous web development effort, Âimpeach bush apparently generates millions of hits on major search engines:
Google: 1,600,000 hits for Âimpeach bushÂÂ
Yahoo:Â 3,930,000 hits for Âimpeach bushÂ
Impeachbush.com has never been used in connection with any other site, product, or movement. It would be yours to define and apply.
We are only selling the name.
Transfer would go through a mutually agreed upon escrow company.

Quote:.fter seeing impeachbush.com sell on Ebay for $25,000.00, Scott Neuman of Toms River, NJ noticed that the .com extension is the wrong extension for any non-profit or activist group to use when setting up a website and also could possibly donate a large sum of money to Rotary International from the sale of the name. Scott Neuman, president of internet search engine marketing company, Recordweb Communications LLC , then posted for sale, the domain name IMPEACHGEORGEBUSH.ORG on eBay. Any group looking to be setup as a non-profit that is looking to change the politics of the world needs to take advantage of the 501©3 tax exempt status and having that status means you should use a .org extension on your domain name and not the .com extension.
This name could be used by any democratic Pac committee, a non-profit looking to actually use the rights our forefathers gave us to move to impeach President George Bush or create public awareness for a President with the worst public rating in history. In addition, anyone typing in President Bushes name or the word impeach would quickly be taken to the website because of the words in the domain name itself.
In addition, Scott Neuman is donating 30% of the final selling price of impeachgeorgebush.org to his favorite charity, Rotary International . With a buy it now price of $30,000, Rotary International has a possibility of receiving $10,000 from the sale of the name.
