Kucinich Will Impeach Cheney
Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced H.Res. 333 in April to impeach Vice President Cheney for his pre-war lies
about Iraq and for threatening an invasion of Iran. And thanks to your heroic
grassroots efforts, there are 21 co-sponsors.
Speaker Pelosi blocked Judiciary Committee hearings on the bill, but Rep.
Kucinich will force a floor vote on Tuesday using his right of
personal privilege.
Kucinich's courageous act will put members of the House on record. Are
they going to fulfill their oath of office to "defend the Constitution
against all enemies, foreign and domestic"? Or will they support a Vice
President whose lies about Iraq cost the lives of nearly 4,000 Americans and
possibly $2.4 trillion in our tax dollars - and whose lies about Iran
threaten to start World War III?
Call your Representative (not Senators) and tell them to support Kucinich's
resolution to impeach Dick Cheney, H.Res. 333:
800-828-0498, 800-862-5530, 800-833-6354

Who Will Filibuster Mukasey?
 Michael
Mukasey refuses to say that waterboarding is
torture because Dick Cheney
won't let him - otherwise he would have
to prosecute Cheney and Bush as war criminals. Mukasey also believes the President can
ignore FISA and the Constitution and
wiretap American citizens without a warrant, which makes the President a
Dictator.
 Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Dianne
Feinstein (D-CA) betrayed the Constitution and embraced waterboarding and
dictatorship by announcing their support for Mukasey. But Mukasey's
nomination can be defeated if 40 Democrats support a filibuster
- and it takes just one Senator to start one.
So we're petitioning every Senator who claims to be
a progressive leader: Joe Biden at
JoeBiden.com ... Barbara Boxer at Pac for a Change ... Hillary
Clinton at HillaryClinton.com ... Chris Dodd at
ChrisDodd.com ... Russ Feingold at the Progressive Patriots
Fund ... Ted Kennedy at the Committee for a Democratic
Majority ... John Kerry at JohnKerry.com ... Barack
Obama at BarackObama.com ... Harry Reid at
Searchlight Leadership Fund ... Bernie Sanders at Bernie.org

Confront Presidential Candidates
with the Progressive Agenda
Tired of double-talk from the candidates - including those who seek
the votes of progressives? Let's reclaim the debate by confronting them with
the Progressive Agenda that we believe in!
Add your name to the list of Progressive Agenda that includes
respected artists, musicians, elected officials and other peace and justice
leaders.
Confront presidential candidates through the media or as they come to
your communities in search of votes. For example: Do they support full troop
withdrawal from Iraq and pledge no attack on Iran? If they claim to be for
universal healthcare, why don't they support single-payer Enhanced Medicare
for All?
Distribute the Progressive Agenda widely face-to-face and via email to
friends, neighbors, relatives and fellow activists. Print out a copy and
duplicate it. Refer to this agenda in blog comments, letters to the editor
and calls to talk shows.
In general, bird-dog candidates for President, Senate and Congress at
their public events, and everywhere you can.

11/9 Warmup for 12/7 National Caucus
When it comes to choosing our Presidential candidates, why does Iowa
take priority over the rest of the country?
The National Presidential Caucus was created to give citizens across
the country - Democrats, Republicans, and Independents - a chance to gather
in small groups (up to 50 people) to discuss the candidates and vote.
Of course this vote is informal and will not choose any delegates for
the convention. But it will get a lot of media coverage and will be a lot
more meaningful than the polls - particularly for longer-shot candidates
whose lower poll rankings reflects the Corporate Media's bias against them.
The full Caucus will be held on Friday December 7, using Meetup-style
tools to help citizens connect. There will also be a Preliminary Straw Poll
& Caucus Warmup on Friday, November 9, 2007
Democrats.com is a co-sponsor of the National Presidential Caucus. For
