Last week, the
Impeach Bush Coalition initiated a
letter writing campaign aimed at bringing US House Rule Section 603 to the attention of various State Legislators.
Soon, AfterDowningStreet.org and ImpeachPAC.org got on board, helping us get the word out!
Thousands of email letters went out to the State Legislators in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.
And from the look of it, we seem to be making some progress.
More on the flip:
It seems as if the Town of Newfane, Vermont will deal with an impeachment resolution at the next
town meeting:
ARTICLE 29: We the voters of Newfane would like Town Meeting, March 2006, to consider the following resolution:
Whereas George W. Bush has:
- Misled the nation about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction;
- Misled the nation about ties between Iraq and Al Quaeda;
- Used these falsehoods to lead our nation into war unsupported by international law;
- Not told the truth about American policy with respect to the use of torture; and
- Has directed the government to engage in domestic spying, in direct contravention of U.S. law.
Therefore, the voters of the town of Newfane ask that our representative to the U.S. House of Representatives file articles of impeachment to remove him from office.
Also, Democratic US Senate Candidate Carl Sheeler of Rhode Island paid a visit to the Impeach Bush Coalition to make the following statement:
David,
It's Carl. Thank you for your positive feedback and support. I enjoy plain speaking because this is what connects with people and Katrina is clearly what's wrong with the systemic problems of a corporate government that has no heart.
No plastic, no poll tested answers. We want change. We want our dream of America back, we want our democracy back. We want Blue to mean something other than "sad". We want Democrats to walk the talk or step aside so we can take back our government of "We The People."
I need everyones' help. It's really quite simple. Dedicate a few minutes or an hour when you can to light up the blogosphere and send emails and phone calls to everyone you know on this god's creation in and outside of RI as it's a federal seat that is one more to gain to oppose this corrupted government.
I need the dough to pepper the state with these BE PATRIOTIC IMPEACH BUSH billboards and put as many bumper stickers on vehicles so the message gets to everyone ($10 bucks is 30 bumper stickers or pieces of direct mail and $110 is 1% of the cost of a billboard sign). Our "are you hearing me now?" and "read my lips" messages are unmistakable.
It's often lonely doing this thing, but simple touches of support make it so, so much easier to do this every day. Let's get the word out. Thank you again for taking the time to share.
Take care,
Carl
