Washington For Impeachment is sponsoring a rally tomorrow (Saturday March 10th) at noon in Westlake Park, Downtown Seattle. If you are in or can make it to Washington by tomorrow, come out and show your support for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for high crimes against the citizens of the United States. The rally is to help build support for SJM8016, a bill introduced in the Washington State Senate calling for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
This just in…
“We plan to CONVERGE IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE on Saturday, March 10th, 12 Noon, at Westlake Park, Downtown Seattle
MONDAY, MARCH 12TH, IS IMPEACHMENT DAY AT THE CAPITOL. PLAN TO VISIT MEMBERS OF THE SENATE, STAND VIGIL AROUND THE CHAMBER, TO BE SEEN EVERYWHERE. DETAILS TBA.
Friends of Democracy:
We have until March 14th to get SJM 8016 moved to the floor for a vote in the Senate. Your vigilance is requested.
The Senate Leadership has the authority to pull SJM 8016 onto the floor for a vote or to let it die. We must unleash a flood of calls, letters, and visits to the offices of Wa State Senators now. We ask that people take to the streets in every district throughout Washington State through the weekend to pass our information and ask people to write letters to their Senators on the spot. We want to hand deliver them on Monday in Olympia. We have reason to believe that we can win the simple majority needed to pass 8016, but first we have to help Leadership decide to move it to the floor. Here is the contact info for the Democratic Leadership that will make or break this legislation.
Here is the toll-free number into the Capitol in Olympia: 1-800-562-6000.

The people of Washington State have a golden opportunity to make their voices heard in Washington DC. SJM 8016 petitions Congress to open serious investigations leading to possible impeachment for grave allegations of abuse of power and wrongdoing by President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
You can make a difference in our country and in our State. I urge you to MOVE THIS BILL FORWARD by allowing Bill SJM 8016 to go to the Senate floor for a vote. Thank you for supporting this legislation.
Sincerely,”
