WE NEED MORE LETTERS TO TELL PELOSI TO IMPEACH

[annm4peace]

Just got this note from Bruce at the Veterans for Peace office and wanted you to know:

(Bruce spent many days with Cindy and supporters down on Crawford)

SPEAKER PELOSI SAID SHE WOULD BUT IMPEACHMENT ON THE TABLE IF SHE RECEIVED OVER 10,000 LETTERS FROM THE PUBLIC

SO FAR, THE NUMBER OF LETTERS HAS REACHED OVER 8 THOUSAND AND GROWING. LET THIS LETTER YOU SEND TO MS. PELOSI GO OUT BEFORE MAILING HOLIDAY CARDS. ONLY YOU CAN HELP PREVENT THE END OF OUR DEMOCRACY BY HOLDING THOSE ACCOUNTABLE WHO WERE SWORN TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION.

SEND THEM TO CINDY SO THEY MAKE SURE THAT "YES, SPEAKER PELOSI, YOU DID RECEIVE OVER 10,000 LETTERS'

IT'S E A S Y !!!!!!!

SPREAD THE WORD............NOW

PEACE,

BRUCE B

(Below is original note from Cindy)

************************************************************************************************
Dear Friends,

Please pass the word, we have received over 6000 letters to encourage
the Speaker of the House to open investigation and impeachment
proceedings against Dick Cheney---in affect, allowing HRes 799 (which
was HRes 333) to go forward from the House Judiciary Committee.

Pelosi's office has denied the rumor, but that should not mean we
abrogate our responsibilities as members of this so-called
Representative Republic. This will put the ball back in her court and
she will probably miss and fail us again, but that does not mean that
WE STOP TRYING!

We are still accepting letters and will deliver them when we reach
10,000, so please forward far and wide, again.

We have received them from all over the nation!

Send the letters to:
Nancy Pelosi
c/o Cindy for Congress
Re: Impeach Dick Cheney
1260 Mission St.
San Francisco, Ca 94103
We will not be opening the letters so please only include your letter
to Nancy Pelosi in the envelope.

Love, peace & accountability,
Cindy

1. letters dont do anything..... think bigger

[havocmom]

4. Have heard (from a fromer congressional aid) all mail is irradiated

which makes it brittle and stinky. Congressional aids said to hate mail and ignore much of it.

Someone posted here that Pelosi will only accept email from people in her district.

Sounds a lot like "who cares what you think" at this point.

Yep, letters to Congress don't do it. Gonna take boots on the ground to get the point across, it seems.

[Whisp]

8. send faxes instead.

run that toner out - better tax dollars at work than killing Iraqi's or supporting a mass murderer.

[havocmom]

11. Was wondering about the fax option

Anybody have Pelosi's number so we can test whether she has the machine on?

[reprobate]

9. Bull! They open every envelope. There might be a campaign contribution check in it.

[havocmom]

12. Those would probably go to a campaign address, not Congressional Office

And I do have it on good authority....

[Blue-Jay]

15. A giant postcard?

[MonkeyFunk]

2. bullshit

Pelosi never said any such thing.

To think that 10,000 letters is her "tipping point" is just dumb.

What she needs is 67 votes in the Senate. Get her those, and then we'll talk.

[JFN1]

3. Start impeachment

the votes will come

[MonkeyFunk]

13. No they won't

and the notion that if only pelosi gets enough letters, she'll impeach is just nonsensical. The assertion is ridiculous on its face.

I've seen it posted here repeatedly, yet nobody can cite a real source quoting Pelosi.

5. Wow what a lot of negative people on DU tonight

******
** many of us are doing a lot more things than writing letters.. BUT Sending in letters is also important.. AND.. if noticed the address they aren't going directly to Pelosi's office.
** Best way thing is to take in a pack of letters, so the office knows that you know how many letters you receive.. then you (letter gatherer) can send a press release of how many letters were delivered.

** personally, besides writing letters to my Representative, who has already signed Kucinich's bill, I have stood on a freeway overpass with a huge banner that said IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY, when it was freezing cold outside. We reach about 8000 cars per hour.

I wear a t-shirt that says "IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY". My bumper has two different IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY bumper stickers. and i have stamp that says: IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY which I stamp on dollars and 5's.

6. What? We hafta beseech the bint to get her to do her job now?

Do ya need to walk backwards w/ eyes downcast for 5 steps when taking leave of her Hineyass presence too?

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. Yes, the only reason Pelosi doesnt support impeachment is becasue she hasnt recieved enough letters

:rofl:

[Golden Raisin]

10. Bush could pull his pants down

and take a dump on the Constitution and then set it on fire --- all of this on live TV from either the Oval Office or the well of Congress --- and Pelosi would still not impeach. She is a lost cause. If we survive the remainder of Bush's term (a big "if"), History is going to be extremely unkind to Pelosi.

14. Hell , Pelosi has been the speaker for almost a damn year

You can send all the letters and faxes and crap you want and her ears and eyes are closed .

How many times have people been prompted to call and email already , 50 or more ? Nothing has changed and nothing will .

She has made it clear that impeachment is off the table , what your writing does get is an email asking for donations , i send the email or envelope back with a big zero on it .

All you get is it will take time away for other issues ,well another year and we will have new issues like a bombed Iran or containment camps if you don't lose everything and end up on the street , perhaps if enough of us end up there we can march to DC and set our selves on fire .
