A Way to Put Impeachment Back on the Table


Steve Osborn
Message Stephen Osborn
   This link is to Cindy Sheehan's Website. She says they have received 7,000 letters so far. The minimum target is 10,000 handwritten letters to Pelosi demanding impeachment of Cheney/Bush. http://www.cindyforcongress.org/article.php?preview=1&cache=0&id=43
    Here is the text of Cindy's message. Let's do it! Let's either force Pelosi to put her money where her mouth is, or expose her for a lying hypocrite.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Speaker Pelosi,
IMPEACH DICK CHENEY

 

Dear Friends
Instead of sending your Impeachment letters for Dick Cheney to Nancy Pelosi's office, send them to my office so we can get an official count.

Please send them to:

Nancy Pelosi
c/o Cindy for Congress
RE: Impeach Dick Cheney
1260 Mission St
San Francisco, Ca 94103-2706

We are extending the deadline to gather as many letters as possible. Please send your letter by December 31st.

We will be delivering the letters to Nancy Pelosi's office in San Francisco on January 3 2008 

We currently have 7,000. We NEED to take 10,000. Please encourage your friends to participate.

Spread this far and wide so we can take sacks of letters to her.
Don't include anything besides the letter (like a contribution) because we won't be opening the envelopes.

Love
Cindy


Sample Letter

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

I am writing to urge you to support House Resolution 333, Articles of
Impeachment against Vice President Richard B. Cheney. Please consider your
constitutional duty to step forward to protect our democracy from further harm.

The heart of the current crisis is a Constitutional one. The American people
elected a democratic majority to restore our system of checks and balances, the
rule of law, and our international standing as an exemplar of democratic
leadership and values in the world community. It has become clear to an
ever-increasing majority of the American people that the President and Vice
President are actively opposing progress in these endeavors.

To date, the evidence of impeachable offenses is overwhelming: the Bush
administrations' use of illegal wiretapping and other forms of electronic
surveillance, violations of the U.N. Torture Convention and the Geneva
Convention, torture and extraordinary rendition, signing statements, and war
lies. These activities individually and certainly collectively warrant a
complete immediate investigation by the Congress.

As Speaker of the House, you can play a pivotal role in restoring our
constitutional rights and preventing further abuses of power by the Executive
branch by supporting HR333. Please don’t betray us.

Sincerely,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of us have gotten out of the habit of snail mail, especially to Congress as it takes forever to get through their bug screening, before it is dropped into an aide's wastebasket, but this is different. They will be hand delivered, tallied up. Pelosi said she would put impeachment back on the table if she got 10,000 handwritten letters demanding it. Let's do it!

Pass this on to everyone you can think of that is concerned about where our government is taking us. 7.000 and counting!

And tell your alleged representatives that you demand they put impeachment back on the table, if you indeed feel that the government has gotten out of control, especially the executive.
