33 Congress Members for Impeachment

Excerpt
Congress is taking the next month off. Congress Members will be in their districts. They’ll be near your house. They have offices near your house. Now is the time to ask them to cosponsor H Res 333 or introduce their own articles of impeachment against Cheney. If they agree to cosponsor H Res 333, you should contact Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s office and let him know. If they do not agree, you should make a bunch of big posters that say “Honk to Impeach” and stand on the street corner in front of your Congress Member’s office. Or you should sit in their office, read the Constitution out loud, and refuse to leave. August is your time to make your message clear. 54% of Americans want Cheney impeached, and 40% do not. See how many of that 54% you can bring with you to your representative’s office.
HLs Take
I called the office of my congressman Henry Waxman a couple of weeks ago to request an interview with the HL, I was told to leave my number (yeah I haven’t heard that before) and they would get back to me. I insisted on calling back, and the second time was told the same thing. So I left my number, imagine my surprise when I didn’t get a call back. Is that why I voted for him, to be ignored? I realize that Henry is a busy man what with him single handedly busting the Republicans for all the corruption that went on for the last 7 years, but his appointment secretary could have called back. I will be on the phone with this person whose name is Karen Lightfoot (or something like that) again. I want Henry on here. I got some questions for him.
