http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/group_rss/WesternState Western State College Students for Progress! See TODAY's Denver Post article about the AP Poll supporting impeachment. We in Colorado have waged a tough campaign to get our four Democratic Congressmen to support impeachment. We have pressured Rep. Udall because he is in contest for the Senate in a race considered "too close to call" in a battle ground state. As a result of our pressure his recent replies to his constituents indicate he is coming closer to calling for impeachment. Today the Denver Post published this article about the new poll by the Associated Press and the National Constitution Center. "WASHINGTON--Americans strongly oppose giving the president more power at the expense of Congress or the courts, even to enhance national security or the economy, according to a new poll. Two-thirds of Americans oppose altering the balance of power among the three branches of government to strengthen the presidency, even when they thought that doing so would improve the economy or national security. People were more evenly split over giving Congress more power in the same circumstances." You can read the entire AP poll article here: as well as Our Challenge to Rep. Udall to Call For Immediate Impeachment Hearings and for extension of this session of Congress or the calling of a special session. Our challenge to Udall: This is the defining moment for Rep. Udall. "Two-thirds of Americans oppose altering the balance of power among the three branches of government to strengthen the presidency, even when they thought that doing so would improve the economy or national security", The Associated Press-National Constitution Center poll Speaker Pelosi of the US House is suppressing impeachment resolutions and trying to quietly but quickly end this session of Congress without dealing with the massive fraud of the WMD Lies foisted on the Congress and the American people by President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Pelosi has led the incumbent House Democrats so poorly that they have worse positive poll ratings than Bush. The Democrats desire for a filibuster proof Senate and a veto proof Congress are now at stake. The effort by Pelosi to suppress any little discussion of holding Bush and Cheney liable for misleading Congress and the American people may cost the Party the majorities they so desperately desire. This election is still too close to call in all respects. The Congress and the American people need a Champion now. A courageous congressman who will stand up immediately and call for impeachment hearings to begin prior to the election and who will also call for the extension of this session of the House or for a special session to deal solely with impeachment. Starting the hearings now will send a message to the entire world that the American people do not agree with the methods of the Bush Administration and that we do not wish to be perceived to be as reckless as Bush and Cheney have been. Finishing the hearings prior to the election is not as important as getting them started before the election. As scary as they are, neither the turmoil in the markets or the War on Terror are are the greatest threat to democracy. The expansion of Presidential Power if left unchecked by the incumbent House Democrats is the great threat to our republic in our lifetime. Incumbent House Democrats are also at a defining moment. They have in their hand the power to end the Bush war of terror against our US Constitution. The incumbent House Democrats took their Oath OF Office on the Holy Bible and made a pledge to protect Our US Constitution Against All Enemies including those "domestic", Bush and Cheney. The incumbent House Democrats must not be let off the hook on this holy responsibility. The Impeach Colorado Coalition has opposed the promotion of Udall to the US Senate because he continues to refuse to protect the US Constitution and the power of Congress against Bush and Cheney. We believe that congressmen and congresswomen who cover up for an obviously corrupt President and Vice President are perhaps themselves corrupt. However, careful analysis of Udall's recent reply emails to his constituents reveals he is in fact debating with himself whether or not to support impeachment hearings. We believe that Udall will rise to the immediate need, seize this opportunity, stand up for Congress and Our Constitution and place his name high in the Annals of American History.

The missing link in the political conversation in the state of Colorado is the student voice. In order to inject a new and fresh perspective, we recently launched a Podcast called The Colorado Progressive Pulse. As progressive student leaders at the University of Denver, we are uniquely positioned to provide candid discussion and debate in a format that appeals to students and engages them in the political process. We integrate engaging interviews, news, commentary, editorials, humor and community events. Previous guests have included Prof. Robert Prince, TJ Bowen of the Colorado Peace Alliance, Eric Kornacki from the Sustainable DU project, and Scott Wisor from the Sudan Divestment Task Force. Future confirmed guests include Seth Masket, a former White House staffer, and Democratic Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff. By using the volatile combination of humor and analysis while simultaneously providing focus to the progressive community, The Colorado Progressive Pulse reaches out to the untapped potential of university students.

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............. http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/C2QV http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/C2QV/commentary#comments Wed, 25 Apr 2007 12:00:47 EDT http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/kennedyjohn/C2QV John H Kennedy http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/profile_picture/12e758207391a9b236_ggimv2s5d.gif John H Kennedy 8 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2QV/ 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.

It's been a lot of work, and a lot of emails and voicemail messages, but the event is finally out of our hands. Tonight, at six o'clock, activists from all across the state will convene at seventeen different house parties, from Rifle to Pueblo to Greeley. At six thirty, these house parties will join a statewide conference call with Senator John Edwards, and many others will call in of their own accord. http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/treesnogger/C2Cl http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/treesnogger/C2Cl/commentary#comments Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:12:28 EDT http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/treesnogger/C2Cl treesnogger treesnogger 1 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2Cl/
