Okay, EvilDUers -- TIME TO GET STARTED

[Eloriel]

START CALLING YOUR CONGRESSPEOPLE to lobby them for Impeachment Hearings.

"I've just been watching John Conyers' hearing on C-Span 3, and you better believe I want Congress to investigate the administration for high crimes and misdemeanors in the prosecution of this war."

or whatever. Short, sweet, VERY FIRM but polite.

The witness named John (?) Bonifaz was wonderful on this subject. He's a Constitutional attorney, and this is his website:

Let's go, gang!

And here's the companion thread in GDP: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1859946&mesg_id=1859946

[Cleita]

3. Sounds like a plan.

I will get right on it. I'll even contact my evil Congressional Rep. Bill Thomas.

[Eloriel]

20. Yes, it's REALLY important to contact your Repug congresspeople

They've GOT to hear from us.

[doublethink]

6. Been on my congress critter like a fly on, you know, for a couple weeks !

Unfortunatly it's Phil (TOB) English. I even told him he has no integrity if he does not join this and question *. He's such a suck up and totally ineffective. Like Santorum, I have no clue how he gets elected.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. Be Specific:

"I strongly advocate for a Resolution of Inquiry, based upon the questions raised in The Downing Street Minutes and independent testimony, given before Congress this day.

Questions Raised rise above the anecdotal and demand your most serious inquiry. The Republic demands no less"

[Mistress Quickly]

8. Was the testimony

given before congress?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. No.

But in a hearing on record.

It's a start.

10. online poll

Please feel free to visit www.newsgazette.com and vote on the following poll question:

"Should Senator Dick Durbin apologize for comparing U.S. troops guarding prisoners to Nazis, Stalinists, or Pol Pot?"

As usual, this rag takes things out of context in order to stir up the locals. Dick Durbin is an excellent senator and we need to support him.

Thanks!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. My Congressasshole is a repuke.

He doesn't give a shit what I think, BUT I will email and call him once more.

[Eloriel]

21. Yes, remember, Nixon resigned only after his fellow GOP

in Congress (viz., Howard Baker and perhaps others) went to see him and tol him the writing was on the wall.

It's IMPERATIVE to contact your Repug representatives.

[doublethink]

Step 2:
Call them, write them or email them (OR ALL 3!) using the information obtained from above link. CALL THEM TOLL-FREE BY USING THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD NUMBER and tell the Switchboard Operator which congressperson's office you'd like to be connected to!

TOLL-FREE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD:

[Eloriel]

22. THanks! CONTACT INFO HERE, folks -- post above mine. n/t

[wiggs]

26. Emailed Cox and Miller. nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. I called Jerry Weller's office

and the broad who answered the phone had NO CLUE about the hearing. I had to explain the entire friggin' thing to her. :grr: ANYWAY...I called.

on edit...I was going to email the jerk too, but the asshole doesn't have an email contact!!! Do you believe that? I hate that asshole. Bastard ..who's married to a Guatemalan dictator's daughter who was the DICTATOR'S manager. He rents an apartment in Morris, IL just so he can say he's from IL and he spends the rest of his time in Guatemala. :grr: Some representation! He's useless.

[Eloriel]

24. This is good -- let's all add our experiences in this thread too.

I'll be calling mine tomorrow. I was so glued to the hearings I could barely do any DUing, and certainly couldn't pull myself together to make those calls.

[DearAbby]

28. Somewhere in those faxes and letters should be the words "COVER UP"

Why are the Republicans doing whatever they could to thwart this hearing today. The tiny room in the basement for the People's business says alot.

DU this guys, we already know what we can do armed with the truth. Let's roll up our sleeves and save our country.

[Eloriel]

29. GOOOD point

:kick:

[nittygritty]

30. Called all 3 reps...

and told the staffers that after watching Congressman Conyers forum on the Downing Street Minutes today on CSpan, as a constituent, I demand a congressional investigation into these matters, and would support a Resolution of Inquiry for impeachment proceedings.

My two senate office calls just took the message and didn't ask for personal info.

My rep office did take name and address. I further pressed the staffer wondering if my rep had signed Conyers letter yet, as he (my rep-a democrat) did not sign it the first time it was circulated, though he did vote against authorizing military force in Iraq. She said she didn't know, but a mailed response would be forthcoming.

31. Kick!

[H2O Man]

32. Reporting for duty!!!

Absolutely!!! There is nothing more important for ALL DUers to work on at this time!
