Impeachment Kit for Kucinich Nov. 6 Action
by ralphlopez, Sat Nov 03, 2007 at 03:08:05 PM EST

For those who are onboard, here is a 5-step action checklist to do until Nov. 6th when Kucinich will bring H.Res.333 for the impeachment of Cheney to the House Floor. Congress is watching for the public reaction to this, so this is the time to use everything we've got to make sure they will not know what hit them.

Step 1. Call them. If you are shy you can call after hours and leave a message, telling them: "Support the impeachment of Dick Cheney, vote no on the motion to "table" House Resolution 333. Do the right thing, Mike," (or whatever.)

If you don't know who your congressman is, go to this link and put in your zip code, it will tell you. http://www.visi.com/juan/congress /

Here are toll free numbers to the capitol switchboard, a nice lady answers and puts you through to the office:

866.340.9281
866.338.1015

Step 2. Email them. Go to
http://www.visi.com/juan/congress /
and write in the form. Say your own thing or lift some talking points from:

or

Ask them to get back to you, and ask them when they will possibly available for a visit (even if you can't, maybe someone else can. anyway, it scares them because DEEP DOWN THEY ARE AFRAID OF CONSTITUENTS, and would rather be doing almost anything but listening to someone tell them what a low-down, weasely constitutional-duty-avoider they are.)

Step 3. Write at least 2 e-mails on this easy link to newspapers, do your hometown or just pick a couple. Tell them they are the media and they are responsible for covering anything as important as an official action related to impeachment, as Kucinich's action on Nov. 6th will be. Try something like the Dallas Morning News or other major city daily. Call a newsroom if you like, get chummy with a reporter, and tell him/her about it. Lots of times these guys really aren't aware that something is going on, because usually they are overworked.

Step 4. Print out this flyer by Progressive Democrats of America and put them on community bulletin boards, on coffee shop tables, on the seats in the subways, in your apartment building announcements, anywhere you can think. http://ralphlopezworld.com/kucinichflyer .html

Or design your own with the following info:
------

Call your congressman! This Tuesday, November 6th, congressional action on impeachment of Dick Cheney!

Toll-free numbers to Congress:
866.340.9281
866.338.1015

Urge them to "support impeachment of Dick Cheney
regarding House Resolution 333. Urge NO on TABLING
MOTION."

Step 5. Last and most time consuming, get in their faces. Every congressman at http://www.house.gov / has a "congressional schedules" link on the left, which tells you when they will be in Transportation Committee of whatever, so you can follow him around with a sign saying "impeach." Holler, sit in their offices, get arrested if you have a little time, just make sure you are shouting "impeach! Do your duty congressman !" as loud as you can as you are dragged away so any cameras present will pick it up.

DEMOCRACY IS FUN! PASS THIS AROUND!
