During the week of November 5, Dennis J. Kucinich will introduce on the floor of the House of Representatives a bill to impeach Vice President Cheney(H Res 333). Exercising his right of personal privilege, his courageous act will put members of the House on record. Are they going to fulfill their oath of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic or just look the other way?

Our nation and our Constitution are in crisis!

You and your neighbors can make a difference!

TELL COLORADO's CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN
to Vote to debate Impeaching Cheney
Tell them "No Campaign Donations, Votes or Volunteering until after they vote to debate Impeachment on the floor of the full House". They were elected to Stop The Iraq War and get accountability for Bush and Cheney. They haven't delivered on their promises. That they do not have the Votes IS A LIE. It only takes a simple majority in the House to Impeach. Cheney will resign before it leaves the House.

Pelosi's plan to pass a few popular bills and embarass Bush is only wasting time and getting soldiers killed and maimed.

Impeachment is the Only bill that Bush by law cannot veto and the Supreme Court cannot overturn.

The Cheney Impeachment effort in the US House is moving forward.

Congresswoman Yvette Clark (D., NY) has joined Congress Members Jan Schakowsky, William Lacy Clay, Albert Wynn, and Dennis Kucinich in Co-Sponsoring Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney (H. Res. 333).

We now have 5 US Representatives backing Impeachment, Kucinich and 4 Co-Sponsors.

Kucinich will need more Co-Sponsors. If You care about the US Constitution and the US Soldiers who are dying and being maimed for Cheney's WMD lies You Should call Your Congressmen/women (at 800-828-0498) and demand that they become a Co-Sponsor on Kucinich's Impeach Cheney Bill.

Since Speaker Pelosi uttered her now infamous edict that 'impeachment is off the table' the movement toward impeaching any of the liars in the Bush Administration has grown slowly but it is growing. Recently Rep. Kucinich filed a Bill to impeach VP Cheney and it has taken off.

If Clinton can be impeached for a lie about sex, Cheney 'must be impeached' for lying about the reason for the Iraq Invasion and the 25,000 plus US Soldiers mained and the over 3,400 dead because of the lie.

None of the Colorado Democrats in Congress has offered support for impeaching Cheney.

They all deflect impeachment questions by saying things like: If we impeach Bush then Cheney will be president or we can't impeach because then Congress won't get anything else done.

Golly, if our state's representatives impeach Cheney then Cheney will never be president.

And not impeaching Bush gives them Bush to run against in Nov. '08. It is the best of all possible strategy for Democrats.

Show the international community we as a people repudiate Cheney and all he and his neocons stand for and coast into victory in '08 running
against Bush, the worst president American ever had.

Remember it is Bush's Iraq War but Cheney's manipulation of intelligence and WMD lies that gave Bush the opportunity to get Congress to vote for the invasion of Iraq.

The trial of Scooter Libby has produced overwhelming evidence that Vice President Cheney personally led the campaign to attack Joe Wilson through the media.

This "get Wilson" campaign included telling numerous reporters that Wilson was sent to Niger by his wife Valerie Plame, a CIA operative. Cheney was told by the CIA that Valerie Plame worked as a covert agent in the CIA's Nonproliferation Division, which is the critical division of the CIA responsible for stopping the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Is exposing a CIA agent a treasonable offence?

Cheney's efforts to expose Plame actually exposed her entire covert network, at tremendous cost to the CIA's secret war against terrorism. If Plame's work had been exposed by a double-agent in our government like Aldrich Ames or Robert Hanssen, that person would face prosecution for espionage and treason.

The evidence of Cheney's role is more than enough to start an impeachment investigation.

Real investigation will not start until Kucinich's Impeachment Bill is seriously considered by the House Judiciary Committee. Kucinich needs more Co-Sponsors to make that happen.

Now that Cheney's former Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby has been convicted and sentenced to 30 months in Federal Prison it is time to turn to his boss, Vice President Cheney. Is there a point where a Vice President who manipulates intelligence and facts about going to war commits treason?


WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET CONGRESS TO IMPEACH CHENEY.

Call the Congressional 800 Number: 800-828-0498

Ask for Speaker Of The House Pelosi's office,
Ask for your Congressman/woman's office.

Tell the staff member who you are and where you live.

Then tell them to say to your Representative..

Impeach Cheney for lying about WMD and exposing a CIA agent.

Tell them to Co-Sponsor Kucinich's Bill to Impeach Cheney.

Call them each week.

Call as many of the US Congressmen/women as you can with the same message.

See US Rep. Kucinich's Bill here:

The bill is 'H Res 333' (and not HR 333).

Two things you can do to help US Rep. Kucinich succeed
in Impeaching Cheney are:

1. Memorize this phone number... 800-828-0498 and use it often.

(it is one of a number of toll free ways to contact
your Congressman/Senator's Office)


2. Call the number and ask for your Congressman
(if you don't know who that is tell them where you live
and they will connect you to the correct office.)

Tell your Congressman to become a 'Co-Sponsor' on
US Rep. Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment.

Then call all other Colorado Democratic Congressmem/women
offices to make the same request.

Then call US Rep. Kucinich's office and leave a message
thanking him for having the guts to do this.

I have used this number frequently and get through quickly.

It should take only a few minutes to say something like..

"My name is John Kennedy of Denver, Co and I support
Representative Kucinich's filing of Articles of Impeachment
against VP Cheney and I urge you to become a Co-Sponsor."

Simple, yes?


Go for it.............

We had a little fun with 'Foxy' the fox today... NO, not That Kind of Fun!

We heard that Frontier was doing a Campaign Interview style promo for the 'Foxy' Frontier's Favorite Animal at the Civic Center today across from the City Hall. So we thought this would be great test of our Concept of Instant Vigils.

We flew downtown and did a 'one indian' to their 'circle the wagons' maneuver. The media types applauded my arrival but grumbled later when they had trouble getting a shot without our signs in the background.

Our sign on one side said.

Call Foxy and tell her to
Stop the Iraq War
and impeach Bush

and on the other side

Call Foxy and say
Stop the War and
impeach Bush.

Amazing the amount of eyeballs these signs got.

It was Fun...
you all shoulda been there.

Maybe next time, eh! Join Us.
Impeachment can be fun.

Our group

1stProtestinTheStreet.org
is having a MeetUp 7 pm TONIGHT at the Hooked On Colfax Coffee House (w/ Free Wifi ) at 3215 East Colfax Ave, Denver. Anyone interested in the possibility of holding Bush and Cheney accountable for their crimes is welcome to join us. We believe that we can put enough public pressure on our US Representatives we might be able to cause a Bill of impeachment. ( Yes..especially the Democrats we elected... the ones who dissed Bush/Cheney so, who now are Congressmen who have the power to Impeach).

We are doing two weekly vigils so far, one on
">Link
Wednesdays at Noon at the State Capital in Denver and on Link
Thursdays at Noon at US Rep. DeGette's Denver Office at East 6th & Grant. The purpose of the Wednesday and Thursday Vigils is to attract the attention of our State Legislature. our two Daily Newspapers, and the public. We hope that someone in the Legislature will carry a bill to ask the US House to begin proceedings on Impeachment (as New Mexico's Democrats are doing).

We hope the newpapers will consider that if Bill Clinton can be brought up on Impeachment for lying about sex... then perhaps the more serious offense of lying to Congress ( and Voters) just before a vote on War Resolution should require the same journalistic attention.

We hope the public will begin to see that this ( lying to Congress) is a more serious matter even than the Iraq War itself (if that is possible). The previous 'do nothing' Republican Congress was not much of a check on Bush's Imperial ambitions and our current Democratic Congress' Leadership would like to ignore impeachment and 'move on 'as they say, and hope it just goes away. What they are trying to ignore is the fact that all of Bush's lies and Signing Statements add up to a huge expansion of Presidential Power. We need to protect our grandchildren from the future Imperial excesses of the next President RunAmuck, regardless of which party they come from.

We need to put the Fear Of Impeachment into all future presidential candidates.

Bush doesn't think the Congress will call his bluff and impeach him, so he will push his supposed 'powers' to the limit. Democratic leaders in the House and Senate are kidding themselves if they think he will back off. And even if he does, shouldn't he be held accountable for lying to Congress about a War resolution in the first place... to prevent this from recurring? And about the 700 plus Signing Statements. Saying he will ignore US Laws, after taking an Oath to Uphold them.

I'll stop now....

See you tonight at Hooked On Colfax,
and Wed. at the Capital,
and Thursday at DeGette's Office

PS... We've already started getting Push Back, from Democrats no less, about Vigiling in front of DeGette's Office. Why her they say... Well.. she is in a 'safe' seat, she now has powerful positions on very important Congressional Committees. She Can support this without endangering her re-election far more than other Democratic US Reps.

As a lifelong Democrat, I've voted for DeGette in every election and carried signs for her and probably will do so in the future. I think she is Super. However, I think she and all the other Democratic Reps will duck Impeachment if we let them. We will Vigil at other Colorado US Representative's offices as soon as we have the volunteers (all of them).

Hello out there.
Progress TV producer Jen Caltrider here.
I need your help.

I have a brand new video camera, ready to be put to use helping progressives here in Colorado get their message heard.
The first project I want to tackle is Yes on C&D.

I am putting together a short video that illustrates why a Yes vote is needed on C&D here in Colorado and I'm looking for examples that illustrate the need for Referenda C&D.

Whether is it a crumbling bridge or school or road in your area, or long DMV lines, or something that visually illustrates why we need C&D for higher education and our fire and police pension funds--I need images that will move people, images that will help them understand why Yes on C&D is so important.

This is where you all come in. I can't find these images all by myself.

So, all across the state, from Craig to La Junta, Grand Junction to Fort Collins, I'm asking you to tell me where to find these visuals. Email me your ideas and suggestions so I can get this video together to use in the final push of the Yes on C&D campaign.

Send you ideas to jen@progressnowaction.org .

Thanks so much for your help.

Will your suggestion become part of the video? Tune into ProgressTV in a couple of weeks to find out.
