My email to Senator Clinton
This could be asked of all Dem Senators who don't support censure.

Dear Senator Clinton,
8 years ago your husband was censured for what most Democrats considered trumped up, partisan accusations.
We now have a President in office who has clearly broken the law and violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Yet you will not stand up and add your voice to those who say this cannot go unchecked. You can either stand with your Republican colleagues and enable President Bush to run roughshod over the Constitution and do whatever he wants. Or you can join the majority of Americans who want him held accountable for his deeds. This is your choice.

1. I don't believe he was censured.
He was impeached.

3. They voted down the conviction on the impeachment
but went on to vote on censure.

2. I sent a similar email to my senators - Schumer and Clinton-
Hillary wont back it I dont think, unless the bandwagon gets hot. Remember, she has to feel out the mood first, because, god forbid, she takes any initiative.

6. Remind Hillary that her NY primary opponent supports censure
Jonathan Tasini supports censure, and also impeachment. If she can't stand up to Bush let's get someone who will.

9. She will do what the DLC tells her to do, and as for Schumer, he never
answers emails at all, so I don't know how much good it does anymore to bother writing to them. Hillary sends the electronic 'we're glad to hear your views' etc. but so far, she's done very little to address the main issues we've written to her about, such as the war she supports ~

I suppose they ought to know how their constituents feel but I doubt it interests either one of them ~

8. Bill was not censured...he was impeached...
Many Democrats proposed censure as a way to try and head off an impeachment trial. It did not work
