...Live Blogging the Impeachment Action
I am sitting on the floor of a phone booth, so the police will not make me stand and blog. Lisa from C-ville is standing in front of it, hoping I will not be noticed.
I have never seen anything like this one, folks.
There are HUNDREDS of people lining the hallway to John Conyers' office. Cindy and a few others are inside, speaking to the staff, we assume. But the scene is incredible--people have come from all over the country to deliver the message that we can not tolerate illegal actions and an unConstitutional government.
Richard has the camera and many photos--but he is up close and I cannot get to him. But we promise you photos as soon as possible.
I will update this as I can...
But hello to all from the center of democracy! We are taking it BACK.
Oh--and CALL!
Phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

UPDATE: 30 people in line to be arrested. MORE TO COME.
PLEASE POST EVERYWHERE! I am at work and am not able to spread the word as effectively as I'd like to do.

UPDATE 2:
Ray McGovern, Col. Wright, and Rev. Yearwood were just arrested. Their message to us is that WE MUST STEP UP and CALL and insist on our DEMOCRACY BACK.
UPDATE 3:
They are not hearing the phones ringing there. It's quiet and still. ALSO they are heading towards Pelosi's office.
Come on everyone get those fax machines and phones and emails UP. OR go take it to the streets NOW!
UPDATE 4:
They are not answering the phones at Pelosi's office or Conyers. IT's time to move on to the next Reps on the Judiciary committee or your own Rep. Also, consider, like me, making an excursion to your local office or local media. You don't have to have civil disobedience but at least show them your views in person! Invite the neighbors, grab a crowd. Take the kids.
Consider writing a ton of LTE right now since their answering machines are full. Also, consider calling your neighbors and long lost friends to get them involved too.
Sit outside with an Impeach sign. They need our momentum. You don't have to get arrested but please just take it out to the general public and the media.
