Impeach Team Scoring Points in Oregon Congressional Primaries
Inspired by the valiant primary challenge of Shirley
Golub, now
getting real traction against the Speaker of the House
herself, other
candidates are rising up all over the country to issue
impeachment
based congressional primary challenges of their own.

In Oregon in particular, which has a relatively early
primary on May
22, Mark Welyczko OR-01, Joe Walsh OR-03 and Nancy
Moran OR-05, are
teaming together to run joint radio spots on multiple
radio stations
in Portland covering all three districts. You can
listen to the radio
spot on this page.

Impeach Team Radio Spot: http://www.impeachteam.com

The beautiful thing about these three districts is
that they are
arranged around Portland like a pinwheel, and so each
of these
candidates is sure of reaching the constituents of
their own
district, plus demonstrating solidarity on the
impeachment issue.
Won't you make a contribution from the page above to
these brave
candidates today, to join with them in their
solidarity?

With the forced retirement of Admiral Fallon, who
famously said that
an attack on Iran would not happen on his watch, there
is a real
threat the the White House could do something utterly
insane if left
unconfronted by a cowardly and docile Congress just
trying to tread
water through to the next election. But those in the
Middle East know
how imminent and real the danger is. After Cheney
visited the Saudis
last week, the next day they were warning their own
people about how
to protect themselves from nuclear fallout, as from a
nuclear first
strike on Iran.

And the only thing that will get Congress to even
remotely pay
attention to we the people is to actually mount
serious challenges to
their own seats in the primaries, which is what
Shirley Golub is
doing in San Francisco, and what Mark Welyczko, Joe
Walsh, and Nancy
Moran are now also doing in their own districts. On
this same page
below are links to all their individual sites if you
want to know
more about what they stand for on other issues.

But unless Congress acts on impeachment before the end
of this term,
not only is there a threat of an even wider war, you
can take it to
the bank that Bush will not only blanket pardon every
one of his
cronies, he will also pardon himself. Those of you who
might hold out
some hope of accountability after Jan 2009, remember
we warned you
this was coming. Indeed, we believe starting an even
bigger war is
their PLAN to elect another war president, on a wave
of resurrected
war fever.

We have one and only one chance to save the
Constitution, by forcing
Congress to stand up for itself, and for us, now. And
only viable
primary challenges will do it. Otherwise the damage
will be complete.
If Bush and Cheney are not guilty of the highest of
high
Constitutional crimes then no president need ever fear
being held to
account ever again. If we do not act now, whether
there are 7 months
left or 7 minutes, then any future president will take
that as a free
pass to do whatever the hell they want the last year
or so of their
elected term.

And remember, if you can contribute $100 or more to
this urgent
initiative, the Impeach Team will send you one of the
new bright
orange "IMPEACH BOTH!!" caps, to proudly proclaim your
membership on
the Impeach Team.

Paid for equally by The Committee to Elect Mark
Welyczko, Joe Walsh
for Congress, and Nancy Moran for Congress

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories
that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as
possible.

If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do
