Impeach Team Day 5

By The Pen

Last night the Impeach Team recorded their first call to action radio spot which will start streaming on Air America. Hear it now!

"CALL TO ACTION" RADIO SPOT: http://www.impeachteam.com/donations.php

Dear Friends and Activists,

Thanks to the help of Marc Maron's producer in Los Angeles on very short notice, last night the Impeach Team was able to record their first radio spot, which will start streaming on Air America in the next day or so. Just click on the link above and you can listen to it for free right now!

In the same way that we have to all join our voices in calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, three Democratic challengers for the U.S. House, Charles Coleman (CA-28), Bob McCloskey (CA-29) and Marcy Winograd (CA-36) are joining their voices to put the activism message on the radio, standing together in true solidarity.

With just two weeks to go until their primaries, the founders of the Impeach Team are looking the have the largest possible impact, by encouraging as many people as they can to start speaking out for the immediate impeachment of the most out of control executives our country has ever had. And for that they are asking to you to make whatever donation you can so they can run as many of these spots as possible.

Every day that passes carries the threat that Bush and Cheney will start another reckless, ill-advised war, perhaps for the sole purpose of warping the result of yet another election. Every day that passes carries the danger they will secretly invade even deeper into the personal lives of ordinary American citizens, not to protect us . . . but to protect THEMSELVES. Even now they are threatening to prosecute journalists who would dare expose the administration's own crimes.

This is our last chance to save our democracy. This our last chance to put the checks and balances back in our government that the founders intended. But with the courage of candidates like Marcy Winograd, Bob McCloskey and Charles Coleman leading the way, we the people can take back control over our entire government, not just Congress.

And that is why it is so important that we help these brave candidates to get their message out, that they are not just waiting to get elected, they are fighting for us now. That is why we must give them as much support as we can to help them to run their call to action ads.

Come to the Impeach Team web site. Hear the actual radio spot you are helping to keep on the air. And while you are there, be sure to submit the action pages on impeachment, and also the one to stop the nomination of General "Wiretap" Hayden, who can no more be allowed to remain in position of public trust than Bush or Cheney themselves.

Where is the intelligence in a Senate Intelligence Committee that yesterday VOTED 12-4 for a military coup, a military takeover of the CIA? The only way some of them will ever start listen to the voice of the American people is if they see that their disregard of our best interests will start to cost them elections. They must see that we will support, and work for, and come out to vote for candidates like Bob McCloskey, Marcy Winograd and Charles Coleman instead, who are NOT afraid to speak the truth, and NOT afraid to take a stand. And all we have to do to make that happen is support them now, while they are out there fighting for us.

Authors Bio:

The Pen is a real person, and the creator of UTalk, a revolutionary new internet radio interface, to make advocacy messages as facile and easy as possible. With this goal in mind we pioneered one click action pages in the political realm, now imitated by virtually all other action sites on the internet.

The premise behind the resource has always been twofold. If people are speaking out to their members of Congress in sufficient numbers one of two things MUST happen. 1) Either our representatives will heed the voices of their constituents and we will have the policy change we want, or 2) People will personally experience being ignored by their members of Congress, and then we have a base of people motivated to seek their replacement.

Last year we also added to its resource options fax sending capability, so that messages can be sent by fax to recipients who might not be reachable by web input form or regular email.

Besides our own action alerts and pages, many other activist groups have been set up with their own action page creators, including building this capability into the writer article submission interface for OpEdNews itself, to empower them in their own policy missions. And all of these services are provided for absolutely no charge to anyone, supported only by whatever kind donations individuals choose to make from time to time.
