Impeach Cheney!

Dear friends and activists,

The dramatic spectacle of the Gonzales trying to browbeat a deathly sick and barely conscious former Attorney General Ashcroft into signing off on their law breaking AGAIN demonstrates the central role of Dick Cheney in committing those impeachable offenses. In a blockbuster hearing this week, then acting attorney general James Comey testified that in the midst of everything else Cheney and his chief of staff expressly made THEIR opposition known to him, for thwarting their attempted end run around the Constitution, and then they went ahead and did it anyway.

There is nothing that will get to real policy change faster than confronting the vice president with a serious impeachment prosecution. The number of votes in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll is now over 47,000 and still climbing steadily. This week we bought blog ads in RawStory, DemocraticUnderground and Alternet, to give more new people an opportunity to participate, and virtually all the donations from last weekend were applied to do this.

We want to spread the movement to as many progressive blogs as possible, and we'd like to hear your recommendations about what blogs we should place the special Blog Voices action buttons on next. So if you can make a contribution this week with this purpose in mind, please also drop us an email and suggest which blogs we should be supporting with this initiative.

Of course the MOST important donation you can make to the growing Impeach Cheney movement is to spread the word about the National Cheney Impeachment Poll in every way you can.

This includes making the following three lines the signature on all your emails and blog signatures if you have not done so already.

Please note that we are not asking people in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll whether people think he will be impeached, we are asking if he SHOULD be impeached. Everyone already knows that Cheney is guilty of every impeachable offense imaginable. Our only hurdle is to get people to actually speak out, to do their own duty, to save our democracy from its greatest threat ever, an unaccountable dictatorship run from a secret undisclosed location.

They say that one person can change the world. What can we do with upwards of 50,000 people already engaged in this? We can change the course of American political history, if each of us just does what we can. All we have to do in demonstrate by our numbers that the political will already is in place.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
