Subject: Press Conference Introducing the NM Resolution to
Impeach Bush and
Cheney - You're Invited

Friends and Citizens,

We will be having a press conference at the introduction of the
attached Impeachment Resolution in Santa Fe in the Rotunda of
the Roundhouse (Capitol Building) on Tuesday, January 23rd. We
want you all to be there, and those inclined, to speak. I am
especially interested in having people from other counties than
Bernalillo and Santa Fe come to speak, as SF and Bernalillo are
well-represented at this time. However, if you have a burning
urge to speak and are from SF or ABQ, please let me know.

We will begin at 12 Noon, Jan. 23 with an hour of lobbying
Senators - I will help folks find their legislators, especially Senators. We will meet on the ground floor of the Roundhouse near the Information booth at the East Entrance. At 1PM the press conference begins. Please let friends and family know by email and phone and bring them if you can. There will be press and probably television and we will all have fun, do the right thing and make history.

Senators Ortiz y Pino and Grubesic have been deluged by
positive calls, emails, and press contacts already and are very excited to be part of such a groundswell "people's bill." Our first major hurdle will be to get it out of Rules Committee with five votes. That means we have to concentrate on all five Democratic Senators on Rules, priority Senators have stars:

Please thank:

Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino: [e-mail], 505-986-4380
Sen. John Grubesic, Rules Committee Vice Chair:
[e-mail] , 505986-4265

Please ask these Rules Committee Members to cosponsor:

**Sen. Linda Lopez, Rules Committee Chair: [e-mail] , 505-986-4737
**Sen. Cisco McSorley: [e-mail] , 505-986-4485
**Sen. Dede Feldman: [e-mail] , 505-986-4482

If any of the top three Senators are in your district, please
contact them, especially noting that you are in their district.

All phones are Capitol office phones. Other contact info can be
found at http://legis.state.nm.us

The Republicans could follow Republican Rep. Ron Paul from Texas' lead and support it as well, but only call them if you are certain you
can handle a difficult discussion politely and effectively. Ron Paul's
endorsement of impeachment can be found here:

RULES - Monday, Wednesday & Friday - 8:00 a.m. (Room 321)
Lopez, Linda M. - Chair (D)

Cravens, Kent L. - (R)

Friends, this is going to be an endurance contest as well as a
fight. We will have to be balanced and pace ourselves. We will have to go
through the House as well so will have to constantly fight to get our
Resolution scheduled by Committee Chairs in order to get heard on the
floor in both houses. This will take time at the Roundhouse and we will need to allocate as much of that as possible.
