Specifically it mentions Minnesota Representative Betty McCollum and John Kline.  The ad opens with two U.S. soldiers in Iraq discussing whether the insurgents hate us for our freedoms, or if it&#8217;s that we&#8217;re killing them with the occupation.  The two soldiers conclude that impeachment of the president is the solution to ending the war, but find that the Congress is being spineless in their opposition to the administration&#8217;s illegal war.  They decide to call their Congress people to pressure them to stand up to the administration and to initiate impeachment.  Below is the audio of the ad, as well as the text of the ad&#8230;.<br \/>\n<embed SRC=\"http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/audio\/AirAmAd_Betty.mp3\" autostart=\"false\" height=\"20\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/audio\/AirAmAd_Betty.mp3\">Get the mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<table border=\"3\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td>[Sounds: Tank, explosions, gunfire]<\/p>\n<p>Soldier 1: Hey, Sergeant Ralph. You know how Bush says they hate us for our freedom?<\/p>\n<p>Ralph: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Soldier 1: And you know how we&#8217;re forced to occupy Iraq and tons of innocent people are dying as a result?<\/p>\n<p>Ralph: Yeah, I noticed that. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Soldier 1: I&#8217;m starting to think maybe *that&#8217;s* the reason they hate us. Also, Cheney and Bush have said they won&#8217;t send us home as long as they&#8217;re in office, and Iran may be next. So now I think impeachment may be the only solution.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph: (Frustrated) Yeah, but the Democrats are spineless. My representative, Betty McCollum, won&#8217;t sign the impeachment resolution currently in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Other: Yeah, my rep John Kline won&#8217;t do it, either. But at least we&#8217;ve got people in Minnesota working for us. I was looking at Impeach For Peace dot org, and they&#8217;re encouraging people to call Congress at 800 828 0498.<\/p>\n<p>Narrator: Accountability *is* possible if we tell our representatives we want impeachment. Representative Kucinich will be forcing a House vote on impeachment before Thanksgiving, so call your representative now.   Also visit ImpeachforPeace.org to join the push to have the Minneapolis and St. Paul City Councils pass an impeachment resolution.
