Pressure St. Paul City Council to Impeach

width=”500″ height=”283″
We’re calling on citizens to do three things:
* Call your Council Member
* Attend the City Council Meetings
* Flyer neighborhoods to spread the word (on car windows, doors, etc). Here’s the flyer (If you hand out the flyer in your neighborhood, circle the councilmember who represents your neighborhood so folks know who represents them.)

ImpeachForPeace.org is calling on you to show up at the Saint Paul City Council Meetings (City Council Chambers on the 3rd floor of City Hall, 15 W. Kellogg Blvd). Their meetings are always at 3:15pm each Wednesday, but are not held on the fifth week of the month. Show support for the council passing an impeachment resolution. We suggest you wear impeachment shirts, buttons, etc. Signs are also allowed. The idea is to be a visual advertisement of the call on them to impeach!

Contact the Council Members and tell them to introduce a resolution calling on the U.S. House to impeach Bush/Cheney:

Is Bush/Cheney Impeachment a City Council’s Job?
– City Council members take an oath of office promising to “protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. They don’t take an oath to fix potholes. If the Constitution is in danger then their primary duty is to defend it.
– Cities and towns routinely send petitions to Congress for all kinds of requests. This is allowed under Clause 3, Rule XII, Section 819, of the Rules of the House of Representatives. This clause is routinely used to accept petitions from cities, and memorials from states, all across America.

Is Impeachment a Local Issue?
– If a federal action has a significant negative impact on this city, then it is appropriate for this city to defend itself.
– Citizens from this city may be sent, or have been sent, to Iraq to fight in an illegal and unjustified war.
– Tax funds from this city that could have been spent locally have been spent in Iraq for war. Tax money from this city has been wasted in no-bid contracts with companies like Halliburton with deep ties to the Bush administration. Yet this city can barely afford the emergency services, libraries, and schools that we need.
– The State National Guard should be available to protect this city from floods or other disasters. But instead, President Bush has sent them to Iraq
