Dear ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org member,
George Bush was preparing to leave on his next extended vacation at Camp David and then to the big ranch in Crawford, when a massive explosion ripped through a mess tent during lunchtime yesterday at a large U.S. military base in northern Iraq. Twenty-four were killed, 57 wounded. More than 1,300 U.S. soldiers have been killed and the number evacuated from Iraq for serious injuries, both physical and mental, is now over 30,000.
For the Iraqi people, the death toll and agony inflicted on society is almost beyond belief. Twenty-one months ago the Iraqi people were at work, at school at home and from a legal point of view they were "at peace" when George Bush ordered the "shock and awe invasion" of their homeland. Not only have 100,000 Iraqi people died because of this invasion and occupation (The Lancet Medical Journal, October 29, 2004) but their society is being ripped to shreds.
Bush and those who ordered this criminal war will rest during the holiday season in comfort and privilege. It is the so-called "ordinary" people in the United States and Iraq who will suffer from the misery and loss imposed on them by an imperious President whose criminal conduct, if unchallenged, mocks the very concept of law and government accountability.
On January 20, Bush's lawless administration will seek to achieve "legitimacy" through the Inaugural spectacle organized by the Bush/Cheney Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC). The PIC is generating $40 million from oil and energy corporations, big banks and military contractors.
The national and world media will all be in Washington DC on January 20. So will the ImpeachBush movement.
The ImpeachBush.org movement is gearing up to line Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20 with banners and signs calling for the Impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Thousands of ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org members have made it clear that they are coming to Washington DC to participate in these permitted demonstrations on Pennsylvania Avenue.
We are printing signs, posters, banners, and leaflets for January 20. Members are organizing bus and car caravans to come to Washington DC from all over the country. Buses are coming to DC on January 20 from Chicago, Boston, New York, from cities throughout the southern states, and elsewhere.
This is a tremendous sacrifice. The inauguration is on a Thursday. In order to line Pennsylvania Avenue, people will need to arrive by 9:00am. Many are taking time off from their jobs and coming early to help out as volunteers.
Funds are needed to carry out the January 20 ImpeachBush mobilization. If you have contributed before we appeal to you to consider making another generous donation. If you have never contributed but support the work of the impeachment movement, this is a critical time to consider making that first step.
We want to be sure that Bush's parade route is lined with ImpeachBush signs so that everywhere Bush looks outside his limousine window he sees that message from people from the U.S. We will be printing signs by the thousands and Impeach Bush volunteers will be handing them out to those who are able to come to DC as they enter the parade route area. We need your help for this major printing and sign-making effort.
Please make a contribution now by clicking here for access to the online donation form and the secure server, where you can also get information to write a check.
