Critical Iran/Impeachment Follow-up: Countermarketing, College Initiatives, Facebook and More

This is a key organizational alert that will cover a broad array of
new initiatives, so please read each section to find the actions you
would like to participate in the most. Thanks to your activism, two
more members of Congress (now 22) have signed onto H.Res. 333 to
impeach Cheney, the only thing that can ultimately stop the planned
premeditated bombing of Iran late next spring.

You may have heard the neocons are planning a slick marketing
campaign to try to sell their sick new illegal war. But thinking
about this with a good winning attitude in our minds, this of course
means that they know that they still have NOT sold their new quagmire
to the American people. And if we will have anything to do about it,
they won't. We know what our job is for the next six months. And that
is to countermarket!

Starting next week, we are going to start mass distribution of new
11x17 Impeach Cheney posters on college campuses all over the
country. The posters will say in big bold red letters

"If They Bomb Iran You Get Drafted"

See what the poster will look like here:

Do you think that will get the attention of the college kids? Ya
think? And then the poster gives them two ways they can instantly get
involved and speak out.

1) a cell phone based "text to" option where all you have to do to
speak out is to text the word "Impeach" to 30644, a function heavily
used by college students to communicate among themselves, and

2) an invitation to visit the new "Voices" application on Facebook,
where we have now ported our entire real time message to Congress
system into the Facebook platform, the hot as a firecracker social
network that virtually all college attendees are already tied into.

We are going to make a commitment tomorrow to print the first run of
10,000 full color glossy posters, and with your help and support we
want to distribute upwards of 100,000, to literally blanket every
college campus in the country. If you can make a donation to
contribute to this initiative please use this page.

By the way, just for contributing we'll send you a free "Impeach
Cheney?" cap. If you already have one, give one to a fellow activist.
Or uncheck the box and donate anyway.

The second thing you can do to help, and this is the most important
thing, if you are anywhere near a college campus yourself, whether
you're a student or not, we need motivated activists to put the
posters up around those campuses. All you have to do is look for
places where such postering is welcome, to drop them off in local
bookstores to be handed out for free, things like that. If this is
something you would like to join in helping with, please email us
back and tell us what college you think you can cover some part of,
and we'll assemble teams for every college and university in the
country.

We'd like to say some more about the Facebook application.

You can use it yourself to make your own action pages on any issue of
your own. There is a brand-new search function you can use to find
action pages already started. And you can use it to alert all your
friends and see what actions they have submitted, created and are
watching themselves. So if you are already on Facebook, please get
the "Voices" application and spread the word about this new resource.

Facebook Voices Application: http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices

If you already have the application, check out all the powerful new
features we've just added. Or check it out anyway and see what all
the buzz is about.

In the meantime, the "Impeach Cheney?" cap distribution project is
still going strong. We've put 15,000 on the street so far, and those
already using their cap as a mobilization and conversation starting
tool are collecting thousands of new voters for the National Cheney
Impeachment Poll, now with more than 113,000 votes.

If you already have a cap, especially one of the large proportion we
sent to you entirely for free, please get some vote gathering sheets
from this page.

Impeach Cheney Votesheets:
http://www.usalone.com/cheney_votesheet.php

and carry them with you everywhere. All you have to do is bring in
200 votes and you get a free Impeach Team varsity letter, a fancy
full size chenille award letter, just like you would earn for
outstanding achievement in college team sports.

If you are already doing that and want to get some extra caps to sell
while you are doing it to support your own activist work, please use
this page to get some stock to work from.

Impeach Cheney Caps: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_cheney_cap2.php

Or just email us, and we'll set you up with some extra caps too.
That's what we are here for, to support your own activist work any
way we can. It's so easy. After people vote in the poll, you just ask
them,

"Would you like a cap like the one I'm wearing?"

Anybody can do it. Just get out there. A compelling majority of the
American people are ready to speak out on the impeachment issue now,
if we just reach out to them to show them how easy it is and how
effective their voice can be when joined with all the others. They
know in their hearts, as we do, that only impeachment can stop the
even bigger war disaster in the making. They know as we do that only
impeachment can save our constitution and our democracy.

There was a new documentary aired last week on the PBS show
Frontline, further exposing the insidious way that Cheney has
undermined our entire government with signing statements, fed to Bush
by Cheney's right-hand man, David Addington. They are literally and
brazenly defying the law. They are contemptuously ignoring the law
right now, even on torture where the Senate produced a veto proof
90-9 majority. They are not going to follow the law no matter what
else Congress does. Only impeachment will stop them.

And after we have built the base of this impeachment movement, would
it surprise anyone to see some ferocious primary challenges in just a
couple months against members of Congress who still would not listen?
Do you think that might get their attention? Ya think? It's not our
purpose here to advocate for or against any particular candidate, all
we do here is advocate on the issues, but it sure would not surprise
us.

Speaking of which, if you like and appreciate the leadership that
Dennis Kucinich has provided on the impeachment issue, and based on
that alone, you want to encourage him to keep standing strong on this
issue by making a contribution to him, here's a page where you can do
that.

Kucinich Donations: http://www.usalone.com/donations_kucinich.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
