Congressman Dennis Kucinich has literally just left the floor of the House of Representatives where he introduced HR 333- the bill calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney on charges of lying to the American public regarding the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Now that his bill has been entered into the Congressional Record, the House has two days to decide what to do with it. Will it be tabled? Will impeachment proceedings begin? These next 48 hours will grant YOU the power to let your voice impact the course of history, and the future direction of our country.
Please, I urge everyone to take a moment and call the Capitol switchboard right now at (202) 224-3121 or go to http://www.house.gov and enter your ZIP Code to find your local member of Congress, and then tell them the following:
"I urge the Representative to VOTE TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS as outlined in HR 333."
United, we will send a message to Congress and our government leaders that there is truly "power to the people."
