The Office of the Judiciary is expected to post a video of the hearing on their website: http://judiciary.house.gov/...

Actions to Take from Home

PLEASE take as many of these five actions as possible to:

· ensure that Judiciary Committee members attend the July 25 hearing

· urge the members to vote to hold impeachment hearings based on the evidence presented July 25

· insist on media coverage of the hearing

Huge thanks to Pat Thomas, Melbourne, Florida, for the following action list

If you feel that patriotism and concern for the world-at-large requires your vigilance and active participation as an American, join me in working every single day for the near future on the impeachment debate. This IS a small, small window open right now... Remember that power yields nothing without our demanding it!

  1. Contact every member of the Judiciary and insist that they attend the hearing! The hearing is on a Friday and they usually don’t work on Fridays. http://judiciary.house.gov/...

Faxing is absolutely worth a try. If you wish to email them in one fell swoop, do so here: http://judiciary.house.gov/...

If you wish to leave a comment on voicemail, the Democrats' House Judiciary Office is Phone: 202-225-3951 and the Republicans' is 202-225-6504. Don't omit the Republicans, even if you contact them last. NINE House Republicans (contrary to the minority leadership's strategy) voted to send Kucinich's latest impeachment proposal, H.Res.1345--which stated that Bush had lied to Congress to get authorization for his invasion of Iraq--to the Judiciary Committee: Brady (TX), Gilchrest (MD), Walter Jones (NC), Manzullo (IL), Tim Murphy (PA), Ron Paul (TX), Reichert (WA), Christopher Shays (CT), and Mike Turner (OH)!

  1. Call your Representative (congressional switchboard: 1-800-828-0498) to urge him/her to call for FORMAL hearings in the Judiciary to follow the "preliminary" hearing of July 25 (preferably to begin prior to the commencement of the August recess 2 weeks after July 25). Ask him/her to sign Kucinich's resolutions to impeach Bush (H.Res.1258 and H.Res.1345). (Thus far, Wexler [FL-19], Woolsey [CA-6], Barbara Lee [CA-9], Hinchey [NY-22], Baldwin [WI-02], Farr [CA-17], and Towns [NY-10] have co-sponsored H.Res.1258 and Wexler [FL-19] and Barbara Lee [CA-9] have co-sponsored H.Res.1345.)
  1. Send an "official" email to your Representative via Rep. Dennis Kucinich's impeachment petition

  1. Contact the mainstream media and demand that they start NOW to report on the impeachment issue and that they cover the July 25th hearing! Write a letter to your local newspaper. Email / call national media outlets. Here's one list for contact info: http://www.fair.org/...
  1. SPREAD THE WORD as much as you're willing and humanly able to do... Make sure that at least your fellow Americans have heard about the July 25th hearing to discuss the actions of President George W. Bush; perhaps they'll be interested in contacting their Congress person, etc. Talk with friends and neighbors. Email people you know. Share your opinion on internet blogs and websites that allow comments.

10:00 a.m. Room 2141, Rayburn Building, Washington DC
