The International Day to Shut Down Guantanamo. Witness Against Torture ______________________________________________________________________ KNOW THEIR NAMES, AND MARK THEM WELL. The House Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties* The House Resolution 333 - introducing impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney - is sitting on this committee's table. If you - or anyone you know - is represented by any of these congresspersons, it is critically important that you find out what your representative's stand is on this issue. If they are either not committed or are againstthe proceedings, they need to hear from constituents who support impeachment. During the congressional break, call and write to their district offices. Once Congress is back in session, start calling their offices in Washington. The toll-free number for the congressional switchboard is 800.828.0498. This is a matter of urgent concern -- bringing impeachment proceedings against Cheney is an important first step in shining the light on the abuses and crimes of the Bush Administration -- and setting important ethical standards for future administrations. The call to impeach is a focal point of our weekly phone-a-thons and we are finding this is something that resonates strongly with folks on the street. One of our grannies was on a subway coming back from one of our actions -- she was carrying an ARREST CHENEY sign. One of her fellow passengers spotted the sign and asked, "What about Bush?" She turned the sign over to reveal the ARREST BUSH legend and the folks on the bus burst into applause. The sentiment is out there -- we just need to help empower people to raise their voices.
