IMPEACHMENT, Bad for our Country/Markets?
I received this in my email. If you wish to do something, here's your opportunity:
Over this weekend, email may be the best way to reach Congress. As outlined
on our webpage, an email version of your petition has been automatically
sent to your representative. But you can do more.
We've set up a special group email address to make it easy to forward a note
to swing votes. The email address is:
swingvotes@list.moveon.org
If you send a letter to this address, we will automatically bounce it to
three dozen Members of Congress on our swing list -- the ones who have
email. You can see our swing member list at
moveon.org
Compose an email and send it to "swingvotes@list.moveon.org" -- there is a
sample letter at the bottom of this message. You will feel better, and it
could make a real difference.
We have one week left before a House vote on impeachment. We can turn this
around. The three day call-a-thon we promoted this last Wednesday through
Friday delivered 94,659 anti-impeachment calls through the 1-877-TO-MOVEON
number. This isn't counting tens of thousands of direct calls made by our
members. The phones on Capitol Hill are ringing off the hook. The Capitol
Hill switchboard has been incredibly busy. And swing members are listening.
A staff member from Speaker Elect Bob Livingston's office told me they've
been swamped with pro-censure calls in the last three days -- that's us,
folks. And as censure becomes the key issue in impeachment discussions, our
efforts and message have received great media attention, both local and
national.
Because of the overwhelming success of the toll-free campaign, another
organization, People For the American Way, has agreed to fund the toll-free
line until the House convenes. THE 1-877-TO-MOVEON NUMBER WILL REMAIN LIVE
THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. The call campaign will begin again on Monday. If
you can't wait, and want to make calls over the weekend, you can find
instructions at moveon.org
And as we begin the final countdown to the House vote, moveon.org has posted
a live simulcast of all the comments entered in the petition drive -- all
150,000. Giving four seconds per comment, this simulcast will take an
entire week to play all the comments -- from now until the House vote. If
you have a Java enabled browser you can view the simulcast at:
moveon.org
These comments are great. They speak volumes on the diversity of our
backgrounds, yet unity of our message and purpose. |
