WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP MAXIMIZE THE SEPT 15 IMPEACHMENT MOBILIZATION
By the end of the day Friday we will have shipped every "IMPEACH
CHENEY?" cap ordered as of that moment. This has been a logistically
massive operation, with more that 10,000 out the door so far. In
addition we are setting up at least one distributor for the caps in
every Congressional district if we can, so that local vote gatherers
in the Cheney impeachment poll can have a ready supply of caps to
sell to make money supporting their activist work.
DISTRIBUTOR CAP REQUESTS:

If you are highly motivated to help make impeachment happen we will
find some way to get you started as a cap distributor so we can build
the in person canvassing operation that will be required to make
impeachment a reality. In particular, if you are planning on
attending any of the upcoming Sept 15 impeachment demonstrations, we
need as many people as possible to carry a box of caps with them to
spread them around there.
The first 10,000 we have already shipped out onesy all went out by
bulk permit mail, and have taken a little longer on the average in
transit than the advertised service standard. But the distributor
boxes are all being sent priority mail, so you'll have your caps in
just a couple days if you place your order now using the order form
above.
Besides the main demonstration in Washington on Sept 15 in support of
impeachment, activists are organizing local events all over the
country. The most critical aspect of these events will be using them
as a springboard to keep expanding the circle of activism. Our
effectiveness in making sure that all who attend these events are
fully connected to other ongoing impeachment initiatives will
determine the swiftness of our success. Let these demonstrations not
be just one time events, but let them have lasting impact by virtue
of the organizing opportunity they represent.
A couple of our participants have inquired as to why there is a
question mark on the cap. Very simply, it is because the cap is a
mobilization tool TIED into the National Cheney Impeachment Poll,
with now 105,000 submissions to Congress (with more than 99% voting
Yes to impeach). Wearing one of these caps will naturally motivate
people ASK you about it. That's when you produce a vote gathering
sheet and say, "It's a poll, here, vote."
IMPEACHMENT POLL SHEETS: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_votesheet.php
Each voter in the poll we must make a cap wearer. Each cap wearer we
must in turn make back into a vote gatherer. We already know that the
compelling majority of our fellow citizens are in favor of
impeachment. Our mission is to reach out to all those who are not yet
speaking out, to ASK them to join us in transmitting their vote to
Congress, and AFTER we manifest the true number of impeachment
supporters and activate them, Congress will have no choice but to
act.
Because we have been focusing primarily on Cheney impeachment, some
other people have written us to ask, "What about Bush?". We agree
with Dennis Kucinich, when he proposed H.Res. 333, that Cheney is the
most immediate and pressing danger, the prime mover in still pushing
for an unprovoked attack on Iran that would make the Middle East
quagmire dramatically worse. But in our last alert we also threw it
out to our participants, asking who should be impeached first,
Cheney, Bush, or both.
WHO TO IMPEACH FIRST?: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_first.php
We already could anticipate the results (33% Cheney first, 3% Bush
first, the rest both), because we have done individual action pages
on all these options, and from your responses to those actions we
knew that the strongest sentiment was for Cheney impeachment. This is
matched by conventional polls which have for months shown a majority
of Americans supporting Cheney impeachment. And it is our view that
once Cheney starts to cave, Bush will quickly get pulled in as well.
So this again validates the strategy of building the first national
consensus on Cheney, to break the ice of Congressional cowardice and
inertia.
IS DENNIS KUCINICH OUR HERO OR LIKE WHAT?
No sooner had the news broken yesterday that Bush was going to demand
ANOTHER 50 billion (that his own Secretary of Defense knew NOTHING
about) for the no win situation in Iraq, than Dennis Kucinich
demanded that Congress finally put an end to the appropriation
insanity. Who else is taking such strong stands on all the issues we
care about. Won't you make a donation to Dennis to encourage him to
keep speaking out in this way?

September 15 March on Washington committees are being set up in
communities around the country. The impeachment movement is uniting
again with the anti-war movement to demand Bush's Impeachment and to
end the war. Tens of thousands will descend on Washington DC at the
very moment that the national and international media will be
focusing on General Petraeus' report to Congress, which is being
issued on September 15.
Iraq war veterans and their families will make up a huge front
contingent of the September 15 March on Washington. At the very
moment that Congress will be debating the war in mid-September, the
people will gather in an historic action demanding that Bush and
Cheney be impeached for inciting a war of aggression, authorizing
torture, and conducting a massive spying program on U.S. Citizens.
