Groups Across Country Plan for Human Rights and Impeachment Day on Sunday, Dec. 10; Many Events Already Planned, More in the Works

December 10th is Human Rights Day, and this year we're making it Human Rights and Impeachment Day. Here's our slogan: "Putting Impeachment on the Table."

This is a chance to get organized locally and learn what's needed to lobby the new Congress for the investigations and impeachment hearings that will restore the rule of law to America.

You can sign up to attend a town hall forum, rally, vigil, training session, or house party in your area.

Or create a new event and post it online for others to sign up and attend.

Moveon Write-in Campaign for Impeachment

Moveon just emailed all their members to choose their priorities for the Democratic Congress. Non-members can also participate here: http://pol.moveon.org/mandateforchange/survey2/index.html

We urge everyone to persuade Moveon to add impeachment to their priorities through a write-in campaign for "Impeach Bush and Cheney". You can write-in next to these questions:

* What is the most important message you have for the new Congress?
* Are there other issues that are important to work on right away?
* What do you think MoveOn should do next?

If you think "Impeach Bush and Cheney" is the right answer to all 3 questions, write it in!


Forward this message to everyone you know!
