I received this email yesterday from six different correspondents:
I decided to check this out, and I called the Speaker’s office in Washington, DC. The staffer who answered denied the report. The aide told me that members of Pelosi’s staff are aware of the report, but the aide wouldn’t confirm that the Speaker herself was aware of it. He said the report is ”baseless” and that she never made such a statement.
The aide wouldn’t say whether the staff would count the letters received, but he assured me that every letter gets opened, and if 10,000 letters show up, they’re not going to just toss them in the basket. So don’t feel used if you sent such a letter (as I did). In fact, Pelosi’s response may be another good reason to send a letter if you haven’t already, even knowing she won’t heed it.

Don’t look in the Hartford Courant for an account of Dennis Kucinich’s presentation before the House of Representatives Tuesday of articles of impeachment against the current vice-president, Richard Cheney. The 25-minute speech was an indictment so compelling that the news media are frightened to air the charges in public. Cheney’s crimes, a catalog of transparently corrupt acts and statements meant to afford a pretext for war, are readily proved from the public record, and his part in them is a matter of common knowledge.
Kucinich managed to inject his resolution into the House agenda with a parliamentary maneuver known as “privilege.” The articles of impeachment were referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, whose chairman, John Conyers, cast a vote against killing the measure. Most House Democrats, including our district’s own John Larson, voted in favor of killing the impeachment resolution, but a group of Republicans, who are confident they can vindicate Cheney on a roll-call vote, managed to salvage it.
The embedded mass media seem to be avoiding all coverage of the impeachment debate, despite polls indicating that most Americans would favor the removal of both the president and the vice-president.

Greater Hartford Impeach gets together tomorrow evening (Wednesday, 11/7, 7pm) at 74 Tremont Street, Hartford (just off Farmington Ave.). We’ll be talking about our next step with Larson, one of the 435 law enforcement officials now looking the other way while racketeers loot the nation. It looks as if Larson’s office is not going to accommodate me with a face-to-face meeting. Not that anybody’s told me that. They just don’t call back. As always, the meeting’s open to anybody that wants to attend.

Had it up to here with Bush and Cheney? Want to reclaim your country from the thugs who ran it into the ground? Want to bring the racketeers to account? Join Greater Hartford Impeach tomorrow at 7:00 at my house, 74 Tremont St., Hartford.
If we allow these crooks to complete their term, we’ll be setting a dangerous precedent for future corrupt leaders, of whom we seem to have a ready supply. Since our national leaders refuse to defend our constitution, we’ll have to do it ourselves, locally. Let’s figure out how to do that on Monday. 7:00 pm. 74 Tremont St. This is urgent.
