Dear
CODEPINKer,
CODEPINK
activists
have been steadily, faithfully, and creatively pressuring Congress
to impeach the criminals in the White House, and we are starting
to see results. Last week, at the Judiciary Committee hearing "Executive
Power and its Constitutional Limitations," impeachment was
referenced dozens of times.
In
her first days in power, Nancy Pelosi famously announced that impeachment
was off the table, but on the popular television show The
View this past Tuesday, she admitted that she would hold
impeachment hearings if
someone could prove that Bush committed a crime. We hope
she watched last week as Dennis
Kucinich, Liz
Holtzman, and Vincent
Bugliosi passionately enumerated Bush's impeachable offenses
at a Judiciary Committee hearing. Be sure to watch their stirring
testimony -- it will inspire and galvanize you.
Impeachment
is the means the framers of the Constitution created to safeguard
against an elected official's subverting the best interests of our
country. Even though Bush's days in office are numbered, the damage
he has done to our government may outlast his Presidency. Congress
must fulfill its responsibility to hold this administration accountable
for its flouting of the Constitution and international law. 
Please call the Judiciary Committee today at 202-225-3951
and demand an immediate impeachment hearing or inquiry.
You can be documented in history as a citizen who pushed for impeachment--click
here to sign our petition and be part of Dennis Kucinich's
official testimony. He will deliver the list of names on Friday,
where it will be added to the Congressional record.
Each name makes our case stronger -- please add your endorsement
today.
You don't need to stop there; click
here to join us at the DNC/RNC conventions in late August
and early September where we will keep the pressure on both parties.
As we've seen, our hard work is paying off.
With peace and strength,
Alicia, Anne, Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida,
Gael, Gayle, Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, Rae and Tighe
P.S.
Last
week we went on CODEPINK Alert after
Obama's trip to the Middle East resulted in talks of withdrawing
troops from Iraq only to send them to Afghanistan. We countered
with our
piece on on Common Dreams and Huffington
Post as well as sending out a survey
to find out what you THINK and what you KNOW.
If you haven't yet, take
