Conservative Revolutionary American Party III: Put Impeachment on the Ballot in Your Town

Put Impeachment on the Ballot in Your Town

While a lot of towns and cities have passed or tried to pass pro-impeachment resolutions, only one so far has put the question of impeachment on the ballot for voters to address in November - Berkeley CA. It may not be too late to ask your town or city to place impeachment on the ballot. Some local governments may be more willing to do that than they are to pass a resolution themselves. Some media outlets may also find it more interesting. And it's good for our democracy: it's bound to boost turnout at the polls. Here's information on how you can do it:

By David Swanson

Veterans for Peace has drafted a Declaration of Impeachment using nothing but excerpts from the Declaration of Independence (plus a few words in parentheses). It reads as follows, and should be read at picnics and protests on the Fourth of July:

Support Suzanne Swift

Suzanne Swift completed a tour of duty in Iraq, where she was sexually harassed and assaulted. Her efforts to report her treatment were met with disrespect and dismissed. When her unit was to be deployed to Iraq a second time, the 21-year-old Specialist Four Military Police Officer, who was being treated for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, realized she could not return to Iraq and resume her duties in the same unit with the same commanding officer who had sexually assaulted her. Swift remained in Eugene, Ore., for several months. On June 11, 2006, the Eugene Police Department responded to a request by Ft. Lewis officials to pick Swift up and take her to jail, where she spent two nights before being returned to Ft. Lewis. At Ft. Lewis, she was at first confined to her barracks, with the same sergeant who sexually assaulted her, and is now confined to the base. The army is investigating her case. Because of the way Suzanne was treated while serving her country, Swift, her lawyer, and her family are calling for an Honorable Discharge with full medical and veterans' benefits.

Rep. Walter Jones with Cindy Sheehan

THANK Congressman Jones by Email and phone 202-225-3415.
http://jones.house.gov/html/contact_form_email.cfm

Thank these men for speaking truth to power. And, just as importantly, ask them to take the step that matches their words: ask them to co-sponsor H. Res. 635, which would create a select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, its manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, and retaliating against critics.

If you are interested in particpating in a delegation to thank Walter Jones in person and ask him to sign on to H. Res 635, contact David Dixon at (704) 492-8527 or operationimpeachment@yahoo.com

Happy Bring Em On Day
