This is good news but we need more sponsors for the Cheney bill and the reps that are working on the Bush Impeachment bill (Wexler, Kucinich and Juciary Committee) need to hear from you…So, please keep your calls coming in and ask others to call.

Call Pelosi, call your reps, call the judiciary committee:

Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-2131 , (800) 828-0498

Congressman Pete Stark has a poll asking whether we should IMPEACH

http://www.house.gov/stark/survey

IMPEACH ALREADY!!! Aren’t you getting tired of these polls? We should still answer the poll to send the messages to congress in every way we can- YES – IMPEACH! Both Bush AND Cheney! I like how he has the question under “Government Accountability”.

I have heard from people who regularly walk the halls of congress lobbying for impeachment, that our calls of impeachment support do make a big difference.

So, please keep your calls coming in and ask others to call.

Call Pelosi, call your reps, call the judiciary committee:

Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-2131 , (800) 828-0498

Ask Senators to vote “NO” on current spying bill and keep telecom immunity out of any bill that comes up for a vote.

Dear Friend,

By Wednesday night, the debate over government eavesdropping will end in the Senate.

In less than three days, we will know who stood up for civil liberties and who failed freedom. Help put Senator Mikulski on notice before the Senate votes.

Our demands are simple and unwavering. Stay true to your oath to protect the Constitution. Stand up against an overreaching executive branch. And, don’t grant blanket immunity to huge corporations that sold out Americans’ privacy.

Call Senator Senator Mikulski at (202) 224-4654 or (410) 962-4510 and say something like this:

I am calling about the spying bill currently being considered by the Senate. I urge you to fight for a bill that’s constitutional and respects the rule of law. Please vote NO on the current Senate Intelligence Committee spying bill, and keep telecom immunity out of any bill that comes up for a vote.

Please reject any bill that allows for the warrantless surveillance or “bulk collection” of Americans’ phone calls and emails.

When you are finished, log your call here.

PS. YOU CAN CALL ALL SENATORS:
Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-2131 , (800) 828-0498

Impeach supporters join John Nirenberg for the last 5 miles of his historic walk from Boston to DC

Yesterday, we joined John for the final leg of his historic march from Boston to Washington, DC to urge Congress to hold impeachment hearings on Bush and Cheney. It was great meeting John, his wife Allyson and so many other wonderful people who came to the march & rally yesterday. Impeach supporters from many other states as well as the DC area were there. We had a bit of trouble being asked to leave the National Arboretum and some of us were turned away at the Constitution. (See links below for details)

 

John asked us all to remember that this is not over, being here is just the first part. The second part is carrying this message to congress which he asks us to do and which he intends to do this week and next. (see John’s message below)

 

Links to blogs, photos/videos and news coverage as we get them will be added here. So far we have: 

• Video documentary of the march (includes inspiring speeches from John, David Swanson and Ray McGovern)
• Photos
• John’s blog (photos, videos, letter to Nancy Pelosi and journal entries chronicling his march)
• National Archives bars/boots wearers of articles of impeachment (includes audio clip)

John’s request of us:

 

John will attempt to meet with Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers this week. John asks that we call their offices and urge them to meet with him and of course to ask them to put impeachment on the table. Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-2131 , (800) 828-0498.

 

Update: John is meeting with the Judiciary Committee Staff on Monday. Please call them! (800) 828-0498, (800) 862-5530, (800) 833-6354 – Use this handy list of Judiciary Committee member names. Just ask the operator to connect you to the office of your choice.

 

Citizen Spotlight: Letter to Chris Van Hollen

Dear Congressman Van Hollen:

There is, they say, more than one way to skin a cat. I hope so, because our efforts thus far have yielded a big fat zero. I refer not to the skinning of cats, of course, but to popular efforts at restoring the rule of law in the United States through the impeachment of the President and Vice President.

Update on Kucinich’s H.Res. 333, What Happened Tues. and What’s Next

Update: Kucinich’s Resolution Survives Tabling Attempt, Is Referred to Committee

Kucinich will hold a town meeting this week either on the phone, internet or both. Stay tuned for information.

Impeach supporters, I think this week is a fine time to continue to ask our representatives to sign on as a co-sponsor to the bill. There are 22 co-sponsors so far and after what went down yesterday, I feel with a little more constituent pressure to do the right thing, they could be swayed.

Call Your Congress Members AND Nancy Pelosi toll free at:
1-800-828-0498
1-800-862-5530
1-800-833-6354

Thank you!

PS: it’s important to refer to Kucinich’s resolution as “H.Res.333″ — not “HR333.”
PSS: When you call, go ahead and ask them to start or at least support charging Cheney AND Bush with these additional crimes which are not included in H.Res.333. The charges include: Indefinite detention (habeas corpus), torture, FISA illegal wiretaps and signing statements. (see Takoma Park, MD’s Resolution- it’s a good one!)
