WASHINGTON STATE IMPEACHMENT RALLY FEB 5
PLEASE READ AND CONTACT WHOMEVER YOU CAN.
Portland IndyMedia:
 LOBBY DAY FOR IMPEACHMENT: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2008, 10 A.M. — 3 P.M., WA STATE CAPITOL CAMPUS, OLYMPIA.
We
will meet in the cafeteria on the capitol campus at 10:00 am to
distribute materials and team up. Someone will meet late comers at the
cafeteria at 11:30. We will visit the offices of legislators, "pink
slip" legislators in session, and deliver information.
Personal lobbying — just as fun as Halloween, and candy on every desk! Join us for an hour or all day.
We
are playing Beat the Clock. The most important items on the legislative
agenda are SJM 8016 and HJM 4027. Both are in committees. If they are
not out by February 8th, impeachment is over.
There can be no business as usual as long as our rights and system
of government are under attack. We must hold legislators to their oaths.
Our State Legislators can simply move our memorials along to the
floor of the US House. Let's let them know that we cannot accept
anything less. Join folks from Washington For Impeachment, Citizens to
Impeach Bush and Cheney, Veterans For Peace, The Peace Academy,
Eastside FOR, World Can't Wait, and many others.
We'll meet at the sun dial for speeches, theater and parading around noon, weather permitting. Bring your soapbox and signs!
Impeachment is the remedy for abuse of power. Be there. Linda Boyd, Washington For Impeachment
————————————————————————— ————————————————————————
Please
also take action by phone and email. Do not assume others will do this.
There is not nearly as much email and phone calls on impeachment as
there was last year! We absolutely need to jam their phones and their
emails. Contacts are below.
We need a MASSIVE push to move SJM 8016 and HJM 4027 in the Washington State Legislature by February 8th.
SJM 8016 will go to a floor vote in the Senate when it passes Rules
Committee. PLEASE HELP PUSH SJM 8016 THROUGH RULES COMMITTEE BY
CREATING A DELUGE OF CALLS, VISITS AND EMAILS TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE WA
STATE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE. Ask them to PULL 8016 out of the Rules
Committee and onto the floor for a vote!
Please thank Lisa Brown for her work on domestic partnerships last
year and urge her to let our bill move quietly and swiftly forward to
the US House. Vigorously thank the five cosponsors of SJM (marked***)
who serve on the Rules Committee for their continued support.
Senate Rules Committee: Urge them to PULL SJM 8016 from the Rules Committee and bring to a floor vote

The other Barrier to overcome is the House Government and Tribal Affairs Committee:
Urge
them to schedule a hearing on HJM 4027 immediately. Each member of the
Gov't and Tribal Affairs Committee represents all of us, so kindly
insist that they take your message, name and address.
Please be relentless in your requests that House Speaker FRANK CHOPP
help schedule a hearing for Rep. Chase's companion bill, HJM 4027, in
the Gov't. and Tribal Affairs Committee. (360) 786-7920 Chopp.frank@leg.wa.gov
Lobby Chair — Sam Hunt — to schedule a hearing for HJM 4027.
(360) 786-7992 hunt.Sam@leg.wa.gov .
While
Sam is busy stonewalling the impeachment bill, his committee heard HJM
4031 - Requesting that Congress and the President demand Ethiopia
fulfill its human rights obligations.–on Friday. Yeah, we have a lot of
moral authority on this one!

Just a concerned canadian here who is the same boat. We also have a criminal government here in canada. Sure hope you americans can succeed in getting rid of the criminals in your government. Whatever happens in america affects us big time. We are all people with the same desires for freedom.
Who exactly am I to contact?
Who exactly am I to contact? I'm more than willing.
RE: Calls. It is usually
Hey Gordon, hoping to see
It is better to use the #360
It is better to use the #360 area code numbers I've discovered. If you use the toll-free number, your message might be sent to the Governor instead.
Just keep calling is all I can say.
As WA State Impeachment director Linda Boyd says: Be relentless!
I just read this...is there
I just read this...is there still hope?
News and notes from Sen. Brown
Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, just held court with Capitol reporters. Here’s a few snippets of what she had to say in the 30-minute session.
— First the bad news for Capitol crawlers. Regular floor sessions start Wednesday and evening sessions and a Saturday session are likely next week. “It’s going to get pretty intense pretty quickly,” Brown said.
— Though cutoff for fiscal committees is Tuesday it may only strictly apply to policy bills with fiscal notes. Bills seeking tax breaks or change tax policy will be held and evaluated after next week’s revenue forecast, which is expected to reduce the state’s projected surplus. “We really do want to hit the mark of $1 billion,” in combined reserves Brown said, referring to the ending fund balance and rainy day fund.
— Asked about the upcoming precinct caucuses and presidential primary Brown said she sees value in both even if her party has decided to ignore the primary. She prefers giving equal weight to the primary and caucuses like the Republicans are doing. “I think what the primary results are sends a message,” she said. "Going to the caucus sends delegates."
— A resolution calling on Congress to consider impeaching President Bush doesn’t have enough votes and won’t make it to the Senate floor, Brown said.
we need more of this in
we need more of this in every district, at every Bush/cheney speech, in every Congressman's face
