I also want to add that I requested that the Congressman's office staffer fax a copy of my cover letter along with the entire 65 pages of Impeachment Articles text to Congressman Baird (who is in D.C.). I suggest that you do the same (deliver the articles and ask that they be faxed) when you deliver your message of support for impeachment, governmental accountability and the rule of law:

Tuesday, June 10, 2008
To: Congressman Brian Baird
US House of Representatives
Washington D.C.

From: Robert F. W. Whitlock
[redacted address]

Dear Congressman Baird,

Cindy was joined on-stage by Gary Murrell [link to campaign website], who is a Green Party candidate for Washington State's 6th Congressional District. He is challenging the re-election of Congressman Norm Dicks, a 30 year veteran of the Congress. The audience was also treated to a presentation by Linda Boyd, director of Washington for Impeachment [.org]. Linda Boyd has been instrumental in lobbying for the passage of impeachment memorials in the Washington State legislature that would call on national representatives to begin investigations into impeachable offenses as they have (allegedly) been committed by members of the Bush Administration. She continues a very active promotion of impeachment, based on apparent high crimes and/or misdemeanors having been committed by members of the Bush Administration.

It's an exciting year in electoral politics. There are several candidates for Congress whom are similarly interested in presenting alternatives to foreign policies of violent and militaristic global dominance. There is a better way! And you can do something about it; you can do your part to promote change. There's a better way; instead of deception, intimidation, and the conquest of overseas resources, let's think about and move toward policies that are based in cooperative efforts, communication, truth and mutually beneficial outcomes.

Tomorrow at SPSCC, Cindy Sheehan, Candidate for the US Congress, along with a host of other speakers to include WA State 6th Congressional District Candidate for the Green Party, Gary Murrell, and Washington for Impeachment director Linda Boyd.

Impeachment Hearing in WA State Senate!

Thursday, January 17, 3:30 p.m.

Please come to the public hearing for SJM 8016, which calls for a full investigation of Bush and Cheney.

Thurs. Jan. 17, 3:30 p.m.
Room 2 of the Cherberg Bldg.,
426-14th Ave. SW, Olympia WA
immediately SE of the State Capitol bldg.

State Senator Eric Oemig has introduced Substitute Senate Joint Memorial 8016, petitioning Congress to investigate impeachable offenses allegedly committed by President George Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. It will be heard in the Senate Government Operations and Elections Committee on Thursday, January 17th.

Senator Oemig revised 2007’s Senate Joint Memorial 8016 for 2008 (now SJM 8016 2007-08). The bill cites serious allegations of crimes by the Office of the Executive. A long list of violations to the US Constitution and federal law includes warrantless searches, manipulating intelligence to mislead Congress about the reasons for attacking Iraq, condoning torture, and subverting the rule of law.

As spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, the bill calls on the U.S. House of Representatives to conduct full a full investigation of Bush and Cheney’s impeachable offenses, and it calls for the U.S. Senate to conduct the trial. You can read revised bill at www.washingtonforimpeachment.org...

More than 500 impeachment supporters attended the 2007 hearing. Let’s increase the number of supporters attending in 2008!

Bush Veto a Blow to "Wounded Warriors"
By Maya Schenwar and Matt Renner
t r u t h o u t | Report

Thursday 03 January 2008

The Bush administration's veto of a broad-ranging defense policy bill Monday night will delay a long list of benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

Bush did not veto the Defense Authorization Bill of 2008 outright, according to White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. Instead, he used a maneuver called a "pocket veto." Essentially, a pocket veto is a way to kill a piece of legislation while Congress is adjourned. In allowing a bill to expire by refusing to sign or veto it, a president can effectively force Congress to restart its legislative work from the beginning.

House and Senate leaders contend that this attempted pocket veto is illegitimate and that they will act as if Bush had issued a standard veto. According to spokesmen for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader of the Senate Harry Reid, Congress was not out of session, because the Senate was in "Pro Forma" session and the House had left specific instructions for communications with the executive branch. They plan to hold a veto override vote when the House and Senate convene later this month. This disagreement is key because a pocket veto could delay the bill for much longer than a traditional veto. The bill had overwhelming bipartisan support, and a traditional veto could be overridden quickly.
