We held an organizing session after the forum at Ethical Culture. We decided to meet at 104th & Amsterdam at 12:30 on Sunday to do the petitioning for a couple of hours.

The forum featured very inspiring speeches by Cindy Sheehan and Elizabeth Holzman. Cindy Sheehan went over the reasons for impeachment: murder, torture, spying, and emphasized that this issue transcends partisanship. We need to approach others for justice, upholding the Constitution, accountability, to show the world what our values are, and to show the next president they're not above the law.

Ms. Holzmann emphasized that we the people have the Constitutional power to impeach because the framers anticipated executive threats and included impeachment as necessary to protct the people from tyranny. She emphasized that Impeachment was "off the table" in 1973, too, but the American people organized, raised their voices, and put it back on there for Congress.

Congress has to be involved in truthful and informed warmaking power decisions to check Presidents who want to go to war to aggrandize their own power.

The war in Iraq would never have happened if Bush had told the truth about 9/11.

The FISA law was specifically passed to prevent unauthorized Presidential wiretapping. The Constitution says President has to "see that the laws are faithfully executed."

Bush & Cheney unleashed a reign of harsh and unlawful detentions in violation of our law and Geneva Conventions.

Bob Fertik empbasized that we need to ask Why Congress isn't litening to the people about impeachment. We will have investigations and subpoenas; will BushCo honor them? No, he said, they won't, so there will be a Constitutional crisis.

Our Congressional grass roots Impeach for Change committees have to bring about a Constitutional crisis by demanding impeachment when BushCo blocks the Congressional investigations into their crimes. History has shown that when an administration is determined to keep the American people in the dark, they will implode.

We have to be ready -- district by district, all across America -- to apply the pressure to impeach upon the Congress at the moment the Constitutional crisis arises.

Both Bob and Cindy talked about Resolution 4232 -- the Emergency Supplemental funding.

I will be sending around an email about the next meeting and a suggestion that we petition every Sunday afternoon.

We have about 50 signatures and barely stepped into the street with the petitions. I think if we have more signature-gatherers we will be able to rake 'em in quickly throughout the District.

Also, we need to set the Agenda for the 1/31/06 meeting--I think lunch or early afternoon, a Leslie & Chris Des's (tentatively).

We need to plan to meet Rangel;
Plan to canvass other groups: Community Board, City Council, Broadway Dems, Three Parks, etc...
Bill Perkins was at the Impeachment Forum, too.

At the 1/31 meeting, we need to cover these issues by setting up a plan with staffing and communications for timely approaches to other groups and individuals, meeting with Rangel, and coordinating our members (old and new) as well as other District groups in the state and region.

Peace and solidarity
F
