IMPEACH CHENEY MONDAY!

FLOOD CONGRESS WITH CALLS TODAY, MONDAY, JULY 23RD


The following is a compilation of a couple different emails.

Easy actions below to email Congress now and Fax Congressman Conyers with one click TODAY!

The Impeachment Moment is Now

We've reached the impeachment moment for Vice President Dick Cheney. We've pushed the cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 up to 14.

Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more Congress Members to get behind impeachment, he will start the impeachment proceedings.

Many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply with subpoenas, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney's chief of staff obstructed justice, and Cheney persuaded Bush to commute his sentence. There is no course left for Congress but impeachment.

On Monday, July 23rd, the fifth anniversary of the meeting that produced the Downing Street Minutes, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Ann Wright, Debra Sweet, Dave Lindorff, David Swanson, Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, and Tina Richards will lead a march to Chairman Conyers office and not leave until he agrees to begin impeachment proceedings.

If you cannot be there, you can take two minutes on Monday and do two things: phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

On Monday - Fax Congressman Conyers with one click ( http://www.peaceandjustice.it/ )

be sure to add rep. bob brady to h. res 333 list. signed on same day as our rally at independence mall and march on broad street. PA's got one. Let's keep it going!

I'd like to suggest a strong campaign to get Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. as well since he has already said impeachment should be "on the table," but has not signed onto anything or drafted his own resolution. keep up the good work.
