It's Impeachment Time

* Impeachment
All of your hard work in pressuring Congress is not for naught. After over two years of declaring impeachment "off the table" Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declared it at least halfway on the table, and specifically for the offense of misleading the nation into an unnecessary war. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers is likely to hold a preliminary hearing on the case for impeachment, with Congressman Dennis Kucinich presenting his arguments. But the clock is ticking. Please call Pelosi and Conyers and thank them for taking this step and ask them WHEN the hearing will happen.
Pelosi: (202) 225-0100
Conyers: (202) 225-5126
Then please contact YOUR representative as well and ask them to sign onto Kucinich's impeachment resolutions, sign onto Congressman Robert Wexler's letter to Conyers urging impeachment hearings, and most importantly: introduce their own resolution! In 1973 nearly 90 Congress Members introduced their own resolutions to impeach Nixon. Most of them were just a couple of sentences urging the commencement of impeachment hearings. A similar resolution was instrumental in removing Alberto Gonzales from office.
Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Dear Chief Prosecutor,
Congratulations on your request for an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan. When the rule of law cannot be justly enforced within a nation, it must be enforced internationally. In that regard, I would like to recommend that you seek an arrest warrant for the president of my nation, the United States of America. I have read your letter of February 9, 2006, in which you decline to seek prosecution of George W. Bush, and I believe new evidence compels another review.
