This coming Tuesday will be the biggest decision making day yet of the entire Congress, 1) the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Mukasey for attorney general, AND 2) Dennis Kucinich will force the House to consider H.Res 333 to impeach Cheney. And that is why Monday must be the biggest day ever for citizen activism. The entire future of our country and democracy will turn on whether you personally pick up a phone and make a toll free phone call or two on BOTH of these issues. It's a double header!
Here are three fresh, tested, toll free numbers to use for your calls: 800-828-0498, 800-614-2803 and 877-851-6437.
First We Have To Stop Mukasey
Despite the fact that Mukasey still will not rule out torture as official U.S. policy, and refuses to even admit that waterboarding (a torture technique from the Spanish inquisition) IS torture, Diane Feinstein (CA) says she is "planning" to vote for him. Despite the fact that Mukasey refuses to concede that the president must obey the laws of the land and not act as a law unto himself, Chuck Schumer (NY) is "planning" on voting for him. Well, here's what we're planning on doing.
We're planning flooding their phone lines on Monday. We are planning on telling them that this is absolutely the last straw, and unless Democrats like them find a spine and start fighting on principle they can forget about any more campaign contributions.
Without the votes of these two Democratic senators Mukasey is finished. What baseball team ever looked at the scoreboard in the 7th inning and gave up because they were two runs behind? What kind of crazy loser insanity would that be? And yet we heard a CNN fluff head gloating on the TV about how the White House bullies win again. Well we still have our power hitters coming up and those power hitters are you.
Now, Feinstein in particular, and many of the other senators, have this cute little game they play where they let their answering machines fill up, to try to discourage people from even bothering to call. So what we have done is create a special function on the page below, where you can instantly look up all their LOCAL district office numbers.
Stop Mukasey Action Page:
http://www.usalone.com/no_mukasey.php
Go the page above if you can't get through to their Washington offices, get all the local phone numbers and fax numbers, and call them all. Let's fill up the DC machines if they try to hide in their offices. Let's fill up all the local district office machines. In fact do both. And then just to be sure, submit the email action form on the same page to send them an instant email message.
We have 39,000 participants in CA and 16,000 in NY who will receive this alert. You have the numbers to change the course of political history. You have the power, if you just pick up the telephone and make your toll free or local calls right now.
Because members of the Judiciary committee represent us all, you do not have to be one of their direct constituents to call Feinstein or Schumer, but if you are make sure you make that clear. This means even those of you who do not have Democratic senators have a right to have an impact on this. And remember, the more pressure we put on all the other senators, the more the waywards on the Judiciary Committee will feel it, including others lurking around who have not disclosed their vote plans.
On Fox News, they said that waterboarding torture was basically like swimming lessons. More like dying lessons if you ask us. The next thing they tell us is that the Iron Maiden is like acupuncture and the Rack is good for height enhancement. Are you outraged yet? Please make as many phone calls as you can an encourage everyone else you know to do the same.
Second, We Must Support H.Res. 333 To Impeach Cheney
Dennis Kucinich has stepped forward to bring the resolution to impeach Cheney as a privileged resolution. This means that the House is forced to consider it. So what are the so-called leaders of the House planning on doing? They are "planning" on trying to quash debate with an obscure parliamentary trick called a "motion to table". So what are we planning on doing?
We're planning on calling each and every member of the House of Representatives and demand that they actually represent us. We're planning on demanding that they support H.Res. 333 and give it a full and free debate and hearing, and to reject the motion to table. We're planning on telling them that unless they stand up for the people now, we will find new and different candidates for their seats, through primary challenges if necessary in the very next election.
Here again, we have created a special web page where you can lookup the local district office phone numbers of your own personal house member.
H.Res 333 Action Page:
http://www.usalone.com/hres333.php
Again, if you can't get through to your house member in Washington, use the instant lookup function on the page above to get the name of your own representative and all their local phone numbers.
Unless Cheney is impeached they will absolutely bomb Iran. Unless Cheney is impeached they will absolutely start World War 3, and very likely declare martial law and officially suspend the constitution, as just happened in Pakistan. They don't need any congressional resolution to do it. They are determined to ignore Congress entirely if necessary. There is no law they have not broken already. They are constitutional outlaws to the core. The only thing that will stop them is impeachment. And the only thing that will make impeachment happen is your voices.
Please make your calls also to support H.Res. 333 now.
If You Can, Step Up For Kucinich Too
None of what is happening now would be happening without the courageous leadership of Dennis Kucinich on this issue. Who else has the sheer guts to call for what the American people want? If you want to thank him for his stand on this issue, please consider making a donation to him as well.
