There is forward movement in the House Judiciary Committee (J.
Comm.) on impeaching Cheney. Nine Democratic members of the
Commitee* (out of 23) are now in favor of holding hearings-- up
from 3 last week!
Please, take the 3 easy actions below
this week-- today if possible-- to get the hearings started.
Action #1 The J. Comm. "Subcommittee on the
Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties" headed by
Jerrold Nadler is sitting on H. Res. 799, the Kucinich articles of
impeachment. Rep. Nadler refuses to start the hearings. Click

to tell him to start hearings immediately.
Action #2 Call
J. Comm. Chair John Conyers, 202-225-5126 or 800-828-0498 and tell
him to begin impeachment hearings immediately. See sample script
below.
Action #3 Of 8 Democrats on the Subcommittee, 2
favor impeachment hearings: Ellison and Cohen. We need to get busy
right now and target the other 6, listed below. Make 6 phone
calls. Write 6 letters or postcards. Visit their offices. Tell
them to start impeachment hearings for Dick Cheney immediately.
See sample phone script below.
Whatever action you and
your friends take could be the "tipping point" to pink
slip Cheney. We can DO THIS! We CAN impeach Cheney!
