Impeachment Possible for Cheney and Gonzales

Thanks to your help we've collected tens of thousands of signatures on our petition in support of impeaching Vice President Cheney: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/cheney

And 343,000 people have watched the video at http://www.impeachcheney.org

Last week we delivered the petition signatures, along with hundreds of thousands from allied organizations, to Congressman Dennis Kucinich. He has agreed to enter into the Congressional Record (the official history of Congress) the names of people who support impeachment. To have your name included, simply sign this petition http://www.democrats.com/impeach-cheney-congressional-record

And please forward this appeal to everyone you think might be interested.

Thanks to your help, already 19 Congress Members are cosponsoring H. Res. 333, articles of impeachment against Cheney. And an additional bill, H. Res. 589 has been introduced proposing the impeachment of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. That bill already has 28 cosponsors, and Congressman Steve Cohen, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, is working with Bruce Fein, Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan, to draft articles of impeachment against Gonzales.

Congress Members will be far more likely to take up the impeachment of Cheney or Gonzales when they return to Washington on September 4th if they have heard from you while they're home for the month of August. Please phone, Email, and fax your Congress Member's local district office right away. Ask for a meeting. Stop by uninvited. Encourage them to sign onto both H Res 333 and H Res 589 and/or to introduce their own bill for impeachment. You are more likely to persuade them with a face-to-face conversation this month than when they are back in D.C. in September. You can also try a proven technique called Honk to Impeach: http://www.honktoimpeach.org
