We Have Two Days PEOPLE. Get On The PHONES! (Hoyer may not block it)
H.R. 333 sits now for two days based on the rules of the House. We have two days to influence your Congressional Representatives. CALL THEM.

And I heard that Hoyer is taking feedback on the resolution... perhaps he won't block, but we need to CALL HIS OFFICE. CALL YOUR REPS. Numbers below...

We only need a SIMPLE MAJORITY to pass this resolution!

VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT!! Then DO something about it. Call your representatives in DC TOLL FREE: 1-800-459-1887, or 1-800-614-2803, or 1-800-828-0498, or 1-866-220-0044, or 1-866-338-1015, or 1-866-340-9281, or 1-877-851-6437.

8. Hoyers DC office Phone - (202) 225-4131
Answered by real person who listened when I called a few minutes ago. Albeit after listing excuses/talking points (SCHIP, Awreck, etc.)

11. Why? 233 Democrats in the House and only 22 are on board with this.
You think 48 hours is going to make the difference?

37. NO!!! MAKE THE CALL!!! IT IS THE MOST FULFILLING USE OF 5 MINUTES,...
,...YOU COULD EVER MAKE (short of delivering babies or saving lives).

Seriously,...

Picking up the phone, at your will, and dialing to speak to your congress-critter's rep,...is TOTALLY WORTH,...YOUR TIME,...TO SPEAK THE ONLY POWER YOU HOLD,...EXPRESSING YOUR MIND/HEART/PASSION.

Making that call is being powerful,...powerful enough to say, "I am here and I am important enough to make this call and express my position".

Aren't we ALL important and valuable enough to make a five-minute, toll-free call and express ourselves to our own "representatives"?

17. Wow.
What has already made a difference is that Impeachment is not only on the table, it's on the House Floor. It must be dealt with in Two Days.

And the reps feet will be HELD TO THE FIRE to choose between a BROKEN AGENDA that Bush is going to Subvert ANYWAY and putting a stop to the CRIMINALS, the WAR and all the Republican Bullshit that has nearly DESTROYED AMERICA and at a minimum has brought us to the BRINK.

What the fuck are you even here for? At least get the hell out of the way and let the real Americans defend their Constitution.

25. Why don't you get it yet? GOP will use the SUNRISE to knock the Dems
And probably well they should, because every time a Democrat tries to do something substantive to reign in this regime, people like you whine like schoolgirls. Step aside, son. At this point I don't give a shit what they say about us! How much worse could it get?

But if you don't think you're up to it, I'm sure there are plenty of patriots around here who are willing to pick up your slack.

27. I know how you feel. The "why bother" part is more about you, than them.
You may not be able to change them but you can certainly exercise your power to pick up the phone and voice YOUR position. No matter how small or irrelevant your power may seem to you, it is still the power you have to exercise,...and it takes less than ten minutes of your time.

Take it. You will feel better no matter what the outcome. Take the power over your time to make a call you believe in.

22. I just got off the phone with Hoyers office, didn't sound good to me. They are trading big
issues for small ones, trying to not antagonize the repugs, for the American people. I told him the repugs are all about profits and corporations and not cooperation. They want a water bill of some kind to get through so they won't pass 333.

26. I called my repug rep. He claims to support our military and vets...
so I told him another way to do that is to support HR 333. Impeaching Cheney will help to get our troops out of Iraq, keep us out of Iran and save lives.

32. Well, I called
My rep's staffer's are in meetings again. Intern has no comment, of course. Called Pelosi's office and was transferred to voice mail at warp speed when I told the intern what I was calling about. Hoyer's office is on auto voice mail and his mail box is full.

Wow, the public servants of the people are just not available today. :eyes:

Then I called Kucinich's office and made the intern laugh I was thanking Dennis so enthusiastically. He gets a donation from me, that's for sure.

33. I even called my Republican congress-critter's line. The "call-taker" was stunned.
My words were simple: "I expect my elected officials to protect my rights as a common citizen. I live in a Republican-dominated area. We all agree WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE ABUSES BY THIS ADMINISTRATION!! We have veterans left behind, our elderly left behind and hard-working MORAL people left behind. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE ABUSE!!!! If you won't hold this administration accountable, WE WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE!"

The ten minutes of my time was worth every second.
