From AfterDowningStreet<\/a>:
\nDear Mayor Bloom & Council:<\/p>\n

I am a member of the Santa Monica Democratic Club, managed the 2004 Democratic Club headquarters in Santa Monica, and work with many Santa Monica residents involved in Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles. Recently, I organized a slate of progressive candidates, many from Santa Monica, who were elected as delegates to the California Democratic Party. Therefore, even though I do not live in Santa Monica (Pacific Palisades resident), I am attuned to and vitally interested in the political discourse in Santa Monica.<\/p>\n

As President of Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles, I am asking you, Mayor Bloom, to kindly put Jerry Rubin’s revised impeachment resolution on the Santa Monica City Council agenda. Jerry’s revised resolution urges the Council to support a letter calling on Congressman Waxman to pursue impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. It’s imperative that cities across the nation clamor for oversight and accountability, lest we see this imperial Presidency further emboldened or set a dangerous precedent for a future Executive bent on abusing power and launching wars based on lies.<\/p>\n

To those who argue federal matters are not our concern, let us remind them the future of the planet is most definitely our concern and that all of us have a responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable.<\/p>\n

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this agenda item. Thank you for your time and consideration.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Marcy Winograd
\nExecutive Board Member, California Democratic Party, 41st AD
\nPresident, Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles<\/p>\n

Recent Congressional Candidate, 36th CD<\/h2>\n

Action Alert<\/strong>
\nDemand Santa Monica Mayor Richard Bloom put an impeachment resolution
\non the Santa Monica City Council Agenda.
\nEmail Bloom & Council: richard@bloomlaw.net<\/a><\/p>\n

council@smgov.net<\/a><\/p>\n

FAX: 310-458-1621 Phone: 310-458-8201<\/p>\n

Background: Local anti-war activist Jerry Rubin had previously submitted an impeachment resolution, which Bloom (the agenda decider) had refused to put on the Santa Monica City Council agenda, arguing it was not in the purview of the local city council to weigh in on impeachment. Rubin has since revised the agenda submission, rewriting it as a resolution to urge local Congressman Henry Waxman to pursue impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Let’s support Jerry’s efforts and contact Bloom and the council.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
