IMPEACH - Fax Conyers with 1 click from our web site (in Rome!)
Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 07:00 AM by stephinrome
You can send Rep. John Conyers a fax with just one click from our web site today.

http://www.peaceandjustice.it/impeach

There is a sample message, that you can (and should!) personalize.

The I-Team will be out and about in the tourist areas of Rome today, with flyers, postcards and we'll be serving up impeachmintini. Cheers!

And we'll be wearing these t-shirts:

Impeach!

3. The US Constitution gave its citizen Impeachment as a tool to use against

governmental officials when the Constitution is abused. It is not up to the Speaker to take this valuable tool away from us. It is now NOT available to use! It must be put back 'on the table!

..........
this is my short message to Conyers

7. It doesn't matter what else we do...
if we don't at least try to rid ourselves of this pestilence. I honestly cannot understand how we can do nothing in the face of the on-going and escalating outrages perpetrated by this administration. I just don't get it.

13. the text of my fax
I customized the fax I sent. Here's a copy of the text:

I am sending you this fax via the website www.peaceandjustice.it.

I would like to add my voice to those valiant Americans, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Ret. Col. Ann Wright, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, David Swanson, Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans of CodePink calling for impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney. You, of all people, are familiar with the reasons so I will not repeat them.

I am a Canadian citizen with three children who are young adults. My partner is an American citizen, born in Boston. Like countless others all over the world, we are watching events unfold in the United States.

Allow me to tell you a short story:

Shortly after the 2004 election, I attended a conference in Toronto where a keynote speaker was a Democratic party election manager. As she took the podium, she began by apologizing for being American. Mr. Conyers, this woman APOLOGIZED for being American.

Afterward, I spoke directly to her and said that she should never apologize for who she is and that going to foreign countries makes her an ambassador for her own. As long as she conducted herself well, she was an asset to the US and perpetuated the warmth that people feel for Americans, regardless of how we feel about your Administration and foreign policy.

This is your chance, too, to restore the world's confidence in Americans. Please bring back our faith in all that America once stood for. Please initiate impeachment proceedings against George Bush and Dick Cheney.

15. very nice!
We had a U.S. citizen come to Rome from London as a trainer for a non violence workshop. And she felt compelled to tell the (Italian) organizers that she was actually from the States! She was concerned they might want someone else!

We need as many "ambassadors" as we can get!

16. Back from I-Team Expedition in Rome - over 900 faxes sent!!!
Incredible! We had a good time on our I-Team stroll in Rome but so happy to get home and see how many faxes have been sent -- over 900. And much of the credit goes to DU.

Grazie!
