Time for YOU to Get Local With Impeaching Cheney, then Bush
Submitted by davidswanson on Fri, 2007-06-29 19:29. Activism | Impeachment

By Rob Kall, OpEdNews

It's time for you to take impeachment to your local Democratic groups, especially if your district's representative is a Democrat or moderate or libertarian leaning Republican. Every week, more members of congress are signing on to Dennis Kucinich's bill to impeach Cheney, and Cheney is smelling rottener and rottener every day.

Yesterday, the local township dems in Bucks county PA, where I live, voted unanimously to support impeachment-- Cheney, then Bush. I brought it up at a meeting. I didn't expect a unanimous vote. It was easy.

Last month, the Princeton Dems, the largest township in Rush Holt's district voted to support impeachment after Mark Crispin Miller, Dafe Lindorff and I gave talks on impeachment. The vote among Princeton Dems was more than 70% in favor.

I did my first impeachment talk, at the National Constitution center, at an Event organized by Progressive Democrats of America, AfterDowningSTreet and Democrats.com, with Dave Lindorff, Cindy Sheehan, Viet Nam Veteran Bill Perry, Elizabeth Holtzman (who was involved in the congressional preliminary hearings that would have led to impeachment of Nixon,) David Swanson and others, back in October.

On July fifth, there's an Impeachment meeting in Philly and a few days later, I'll be speaking on impeachment to the south jersey PDA group in Pennsauken.

It's time we, in every township, every voting district, every county send a message to our local elected dems and tell them to take a vote that gives our congressional representatives a clear indication that the democrats in their district want impeachment...

1. I do hope you get to Monmouth County (Freehold is the county seat.)
NJ is very blue so this should work out great. Much luck to you. I'm in Florida now but the heart is still in Jersey....(sigh)...

2. Well, I've contacted our rep. from this district
and I talked face to face with the State rep. from my district, and the state representative was lukewarm. Braley, I'm still not sure about. I know what the guy who runs his local office said. And the City Council here should probably concentrate on running the city. It seems to be too complicated for them.

4. I call every week
I am about as over the Dems as I am over the bush administration. Impeachment alone is enough to send me over the edge. Damn crooked bastards.
