So Pelosi wants 10,000 written letters before she'll consider putting impeachment back on the table
I wonder how many hand written letters it took her to take impeachment OFF. Judging by how quickly she snuggled up to the enemy, I would say one at the most.

6. My wife and I both sent letters to her immediately after hearing she took it off the table
and that was a long time ago, so I don't need any excuse. Our letters were sent in a long time ago, way before reading about her proposal on the DU thread. Is that alright with you?

16. No, because she won't count those in this round... I also sent one
to Cindy Sheehan who didn't trust Pelosi to count correctly... I'll send one as many times as I can and should, until she does what she is mandated to do by the Constitution.

7. ellenfl, here is the address we used when we wrote our letters to her
right after she took impeachment off the table. I'm not sure if it's the same address that was given in the DU thread recently or not.

Office of the Speaker
H-232, US Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

17. Cindy Sheehan asked for a follow up to be sent to her, so she could
count... just in case Nancy forgot how.

4. Instead of accusing her of snuggling with the enemy, you could post an address so we can send letter
to her expressing our want for her to put impeachment back on the table.

Thank you.

8. Nonsense. She hasn't said this. This ploy has been tried before. Doesn't work.

12. It was proved last week
The original source backed out. The pro-impeachment movement retracted, after they'd scored lots of E-mail names for their lists. The whole notion was stupid to begin with. Why would Nancy Pelosi say she'd change here mind if she got 10,000 E-mails?

The pro-impeachment crowd ran a hoax before. That time they said Pelosi was conducting a call in poll on impeachment out of her office. There was no poll. It was all a trick by the pro-impeachment crowd to harass Pelosi.

13. How can you "score lots of E-mail names" from HANDWRITTEN letters?
:eyes:

Can you provide links?

15. They asked that all letters be sent first to Cindy Sheehan
They said they wanted it all to go through Cindy Sheehan so they could get a count to see if they had 10,000. Of course, since the whole story was a lie I don't believe the getting a count excuse for a second. The request to mail through Cindy was up on all the impeachment sites. Here's an E-mail from Cindy I got:

House Resolution 333 for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney is off the House floor, and has instead been sent to the Judiciary Committee for "further study." This maneuver, organized by Pelosi and the Democratic leadership, is consistent with their mantra that impeachment is "off the table." But, we are told Nancy Pelosi is reported to have replied to the question of impeachment that if she received 10,000 hand written letters she would proceed with it. What are we waiting for?

Cindy Sheehan wrote this:

Dear Friends

Instead of sending your impeachment letters for Dick Cheney to Nancy Pelosi's office, send them to my office so we can get an official count.

Please send them to:

Nancy Pelosi
c/o Cindy Sheehan
RE: Impeach Dick Cheney
1260 Mission Blvd
San Francisco, Ca 94103

Please pass this around and have them sent by Friday, November 16th and we will have them delivered to her office in San Francisco before Thanksgiving.

Spread this far and wide so we can take sacks of letters to her.

Don't include anything besides the letter.

Love
Cindy

10. Thank you. Hopefully you'll also tell that to the person who started the thread saying otherwise
Edited on Sat Nov-24-07 01:03 PM by mtnsnake
and you can take it up with them.

AFAIC, the time to write her was right after she took it off the table. That's what we did because of how strongly we felt about impeachment, and still do.
