Impeachment By Spring: Here's The Plan
The case for impeaching Bush and Cheney is overwhelming, and 51% of Americans think Democrats should investigate and impeach them.
But Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi insists impeachment is "off the table."
We can put it back "on the table" by mobilizing the 51% majority that supports impeachment into a powerful grassroots lobbying force.
Here is our plan:
________________
Collect 1 Million Signatures on our Impeachment Petition
In the first 3 days we have collected over 6,000 signatures on our Petition to Impeach Bush and Cheney.
Please sign here
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/88
and forward the petition to your friends.
Then print copies of our simplified impeachment petition
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/petition-4.pdf
and collect signatures from friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
When you're finished collecting, keypunch the email addresses into our form to ask the signers to complete the full petition online

________________
Form 435 Congressional District Impeachment Committees (CDIC)
There are 435 Congressional Districts for the House of Representatives, and we'd like to form Impeachment Committees in each one.
Congressional District Impeachment Committees will:
1. Collect petitions (see above)
2. Write letters and op-eds to local papers
3. Meet directly with Representatives to persuade them to support impeachment
4. Organize Town Hall meetings (see below)
Check to see if someone has already created a CDIC in your Congressional District, 
otherwise start one yourself
