Hey folks, let me preface this with the fact that every single issue we all deal with relies on our having an impact on our own government. BushCo ignores us and the law.
All the animal and environment and human rights issues will mean nothing at all unless we rescue our type of government.
We won't save the arctic from drilling, we won't get funds to find a cure for cancer, we won't save whales, we won't be able to accomplish anything.
Impeachment is necessary.
Please, Please do everything you can. not nearly enough people are pushing for it.
There is even a free fax you can send listed below, you just go there online , fill it out and they send a fax for FREE.
Below this is a list of links, PLEASE DO EVERYTHING AND SEND THIS ON.
Thanks,
Rats

Conyers Considers Cheney Impeachment Hearings
On Thursday, Chairman John Conyers' House Judiciary Committee held a hearing at which Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that he would not investigate torture or warrantless spying, he would not enforce contempt citations, and he would treat Justice Department opinions as providing immunity for crimes.
None of this was new, but perhaps it touched
something in Conyers that had not been touched before. Following the
hearing, he and two staffers met for over an hour with two members of
Code Pink and discussed activism and impeachment, including Congressman Robert Wexler's proposal to begin impeachment hearings on Cheney.
Conyers expressed his concerns about what might
happen following an impeachment, the danger of installing a Bush
replacement or losing an election. But he said he's listening to
several advocates for impeachment, including Liz Holtzman and David
Swanson of Democrats.com. He hinted he could be swayed by a convincing argument, leaning out of his chair for dramatic effect.
So let's help Chairman John Conyers decide! We know Conyers agrees with all of us on the legal grounds for impeachment because he made this case himself in his 2006 book, "The Constitution in Crisis." Where Conyers needs persuasion is on the politics of impeachment, so we have addressed his concerns here:
http://www.democrats.com/conyers-start-impeachment-hearings
We'd like you to email Conyers (and other Judiciary Committee Democrats) with the link above, but please don't stop there.
1. Call his office at 202-225-5126 and say you would like him to begin Cheney impeachment hearings immediately. Tell him the hearings must
be on impeachment because that's the only way to force the White House
to comply with Congressional subpoenas. The phone in his office was
reportedly ringing once every second, 60 times per minute, all day long
on Monday. Let's ring it faster on Tuesday.
2. Print our petition
http://www.democrats.com/node/15663/print
and fax it to Conyers at 202-225-0072 with your name and address at the end.
3. Urge your Representative and Senators to sign onto Congressman Robert Wexler's letter to Conyers (which he plans to deliver on Friday) here:
http://democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/125
We know we're asking a lot, but we're not alone - our friends from Code Pink are fasting for impeachment and meeting with Conyers on Tuesday to discuss opening Cheney impeachment hearings.

International Days of Action Against Iraq Oil Law on February 22-23
Why did Bush and Cheney concoct WMD lies to scare Congress into authorizing an invasion of Iraq? After five years, it's clear the only reason was to steal Iraq's oil.
US Labor Against the War, United for Peace and
Justice, Oil Change International, and UK's Hands Off Iraqi Oil, are
working to expose the concerted efforts by the Bush-Cheney
administration and the major international oil companies to force
passage of an oil law in the Iraqi Parliament. This oil law would strip
the Iraqi people of their constitutional right to control their biggest
natural resource: oil.
Details on Facebook (login required):

You can host a local action at your ExxonMobil, Shell, or BP station, or participate in a march in Washington, DC this Friday. If you need help and resources to host a local event email info@priceofoil.org
