SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR YOUR LETTER: A) “We may not all agree about impeachment. But perhaps we all can agree that hearings are indicated. After such hearings, then we all can check in later about impeachment”. B) Be sure to show the Nov. 13 impeachment poll. C) Very importantly, be sure to ask readers to contact their local Representative. D) Even more importantly, remind readers that it is not about partisan interests, but about protecting the Constitution itself, the most fundamentally non-partisan and American cause there is. It’s about protecting the lives of our soldiers who are dying for needless lies.

E) Write to grassroots organization leaders, urging them to get behind the impeachment movement. Write to Moveon.org, the ACLU, True Majority, Credo/Working Assets Long Distance, and any other organization you can think of. Simply use the “contact” Button on their website and there you’ve got it.

Here is a very important point to stress with these grassroots organizations: The request by progressive constituents for “a positive agenda” is one which I myself agree with, but which also now may be coming back to “kill” the impeachment movement. Congress may be lying down partially in response to the repeated requests to stop the mud-slinging, as particularly offered by the members of the very powerful Moveon.org. To point out to these organizations that to not do anything, based on a “positive agenda”, would only be to support the most ugly agenda of all: Ransacking of our freedoms and possibly leading us to World War III, in the event that we strike Iran. And many Progressive members favor impeachment.

Remember: Impeachment is NOT a partisan issue. It is a matter of protecting, upholding and defending the Constitution. Any politician who refuses to do so MUST be publicly reprimanded, in letters to the editor, on blogs, by dialing in to radio talk shows, et al. Time for us to take a proactive role in taking OUR country back! This is not about partisanship: It’s about AMERICA and about protecting the lives of innocent people, overseas and right here at home!

When ant colonies are flooded, the ants cling together in a pyramid and float to safety. That’s just what We, the People are going to do right now. We outnumber the politicians by tens of millions to one. So we do have power! The ants come marching two by two, haroo, haroo…take heart folks! Keep on creating for hope! Here we come, two by two, haroo!!

This quote summarizes the nature of my concerns and the content of personal experiences which stir my activism: "Necessity is the plea for every infringement on human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves". --Paul (more...)
