 Dennis Kucinich, the Ohio congressman said at a recent meeting,  “The leaders of Congress must go to the president and say, ‘Mr. President, we are not going to give you another dime. Use the money you have to bring the troops home.  If Congress does not impeach President Bush for intentionally misleading the public, the next president should hand over Bush and his administration to law enforcement officials.

How Dennis' motion to bring H.R. 333 to the floor will work: Dennis will rise and ask that the bill on the impeachment of Cheney be brought to the floor on a point of "privilege," which is every congressmember's right on important matters.  Someone will rise and motion for a vote that the bill be "tabled" — killed — THIS IS THE VOTE.  If enough congressmembers vote against the motion to "table" it, Dennis will speak and it must go forward for debate .  NOW is the time to tell your congressmember you want the vote against "tabling" the bill, so it can go forward.

Town hall meetings are happening across the country to demonstrate that we want the vote against "tabling" the bill, to make sure the bill goes forward.  Here's an easy-link to email, and see above for toll-free phone numbers to call your Congressmember in Washington: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/.
