Critical 7 days of Impeachment action - please help

WE must find the strength for this push for Impeachment. Even if all it succeeds in doing is distracting Bush from further destruction in his final months, then it would be worthwhile.

A CALL TO ACTION FOR IMPEACHMENT

An intense 7-day VFP campaign of calls to congress for
impeachment. Get everyone you know to call Congress before
July 25 demanding for impeachment now

Lobbying Day for Impeachment - July 24th Wash, DC
VFP attends Judiciary Committee Hearing - 10AM July 25th
Wash, DC

VFP meets with Chairman of Judiciary Committee, Rep.
Conyers - 12 Noon July 25th Wash, DC

——————————————————————————–

Dear VFP Members

Believe it or not, we finally had to threaten a sit-in.

After more than two months of trying to schedule a brief
meeting with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) to deliver VFP’s
23,000 impeachment signatures, we politely informed the
Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in writing, that we
would drop by his Washington office with them. And we would
sit there until he met with us or hauled us off in
handcuffs.

On June 10 VFP issued a news release explaining our
intention to call on Conyers the following day.
Coincidentally (!) the morning of the 11th, his scheduler
called asking, “I hear you’re in town today, would you like
to meet with the Congressman?”

*************

In the 1930’s, who in Germany could correctly fix the day
when fascism actually arrived?

Today in the U.S., who knows for sure how close we’ve come
to it?

The human race learns slowly, but we do learn. For example,
as VFP members we’ve learned that war is not the answer. And
in these perilous times more of our fellow citizens are
learning that the “Good German” excuse just doesn’t get it.

We know what our government is doing abroad. We know that
our republic here at home has been beaten nearly unto death.
We know we are the responsible parties who must set things
right here at home - for our children, for the world.

One important way to begin absolving our complicity and
discharging our responsibilities is to hold our malfeasant
misleaders in Washington accountable through the way the
Constitution provides - impeachment.

When we met with Congressman Conyers on June 11 (link to
video 2 minute of that meeting) he said
he had not yet read the 35 Articles of Impeachment
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) had introduced two days
previously, but that he would do so and report back at a
meeting in early July. A second meeting was held, with even
more VFP members attending, on July 9th (link to 9 minute
video of that meeting- and link to 45
minute video) at which Conyers said he
was still trying to make up his mind whether to call
impeachment hearings in his committee. He said he needs more
support in Congress! Yet another meeting is scheduled with
VFP for July 25th.

The platoon of VFP members who attended the meeting say if
he says he needs more support in Congress - we will give it
to him. Then there will be no more excuses. We need your
help to create this impeachment buzz on the Hill.

The Army used to tell us that it took 21 soldiers to keep
each one of us grunts fighting in the field - providing us
with our life support, from ammunition, to fire support, to
medevac. Today a platoon of us is working in Wash, DC on
impeachment; we can do it together but we need your
support - raise your voice until Congress hears you.

JOIN THE ACTIONS:

FOR JUST NEXT 7 CRITICAL DAYS CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND
DEMAND IMPEACHMENT. If they are for impeachment have them
push the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Rep Conyers,
to act now. We need as many calls, emails and letters as
possible before July 25th. GET YOUR FRIENDS AND NEGHBORS TO
CALL.

If you are able come to Washington, DC, July 24th will be an
impeachment lobbying day where we will personally visit
Congressmen demanding impeachment. On July 25th we will
attend a Judiciary Committee Hearing, and then meet with
Rep. Conyers.

CALL 202-224-3121 for the house switchboard and LEAVE A
MESSAGE FOR YOUR OWN CONGRESSMAN TO IMPEACH. Find your
Congressman by ZIP Code

Call a member of the Judiciary Committee (202-225-3951) demand impeachment now. (List of Judiciary Committee members) Maybe your Congressman is on the Judiciary Committee call him again.

For our 4,118 KIAS, and the more than one million Iraqis killed by the Administration’s lying & murderous policies, GET UP, & CALL CONGRESS!

Elliott Adams
President

PS: Here is a link to a memo I got from David Swanson, www.davidswanson.org/?q=node/1369 one of the most knowledgeable leaders of the impeachment movement, explaining what Congress members could do if they are seriously interested in preserving the rule of law and what is left of our republic.
