Impeachment Is Underway in Washington State


State Senator Eric Oemig's resolution calling on the Washington State
Legislature to petition the U.S. House has a number (SJM 8016) and a hearing has
been scheduled for March 1.

On February 20, 850 people showed up for an impeachment forum in Olympia with
authors David Lindorff, Ray McGovern and Elizabeth de la Vega. Senator Oemig
spoke about his resolution, and we were honored by the presence of Rachel
Corrie's parents, Lt. Ehren Watada and James Yee. It was an amazing event, by
all accounts. You won't want to miss the next one!

RALLY AND HEARING SCHEDULED:
A Senate Committee hearing has been scheduled for March 1st, 3:30 p.m., in
hearing room 2 of the Cherberg Bldg. There will be a peaceful rally for
impeachment and investigations on the Capitol steps at 1:00 p.m. Please come to
the rally and the hearing to support Senator Oemig's resolution. Please TAKE
CHARGE and charter a bus to Olympia with your friends and classmates! Take the
opportunity to visit with your representatives personally during the day.

THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO SCORE A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY IN WASHINGTON
STATE!

Please contact your WA State Senators to ask them to support SJM 8016. It is
imperative that you continue to write to your Representatives to ask for a
sponsor for a companion bill in the WA State House. Find contact information for
Washington Legislators here: http://hdc.leg.wa.gov/rosters.asp
