The past 36 hours here on the Kucinich campaign have been incredibly busy for me... so I apologize for not getting this out sooner. Here's this week's latest news from the campaign in digest form-- so it's easier for you to digest.

DENNIS ROCKS THE HOUSE

On Tuesday, Congressman Kucinich forced a vote on the House floor calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney on charges of deceiving the American public and international community in regards to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.



The bill was in threat of being killed when many members of Congress came in at the last minute to support hearing debate for impeachment. Ultimately, the resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee where it will be determined whether or not the bill continues on to the floor of Congress.

In order to successfuly ensure that the House votes on impeaching Dick Cheney, Congressman Kucinich needs your help. Please call Representatives of the Judiciary Committee TODAY and tell them to IMPEACH DICK.

Go to http://judiciary.house.gov/CommitteeMembership.aspx to find the list of members who sit on the Committee, and then tell them the following:

"I urge the Representative to recommend a VOTE TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS as outlined in Congressman Dennis Kucinich's House Resolution 799."

After you've done that, you can even place a follow-up call to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office at (202) 225-0100 and tell her the same thing.

DEMOCRACY (AND DENNIS) FOR AMERICA

I e-mailed. You saw. We conquered. Also on Tuesday, Democracy For America-- the largest network of progressives in the country-- released the results of its 2007 Presidential Candidates' Pulse Poll. AND WE PWNED IT. Technically, Dennis won a whopping 47 out of 50 states with write-in Al Gore's votes going to us. Without Gore, we carried about 41 states... on our own. E-mails from DFA have gone out to their 650,000 members nationally to urge them to join our campaign and support Dennis in his race to the White House.

It is because of YOU that Dennis won! On behalf of the Congressman himself, I personally thank you for your tireless dedication to getting Dennis the recognition we know he deserves.

YOUR CAMPUS MATERIALS: READY TO BE SHIPPED OUT

It's official: we're ready to roll out our first shipments of campus materials to all of you Campus Coordinators out there. Supplies have been on back-order for weeks due to the volume we've been expecting. To get your paws on official campaign swag (such as posters, stickers, and buttons), zip me an e-mail to josef@kucinich.us and give me your name, the school you are organizing for, and an address to send your stuff. I'll also need your phone number, and a secondary contact person for your SfK chapter.

Once you get you gear, plaster your campus in everything Kucinich-- and send me the pictures. We'll proudly host them on our upcoming Students For Kucinich webpage at the official campaign website!

TAKE YOUR LOVE FOR DENNIS TO OUR BLOG

While the pen may be mightier than the sword, these days it's the keyboard that wins the battle. My fellow Students For Kucinich Regional Coordinators and I have gotten extremely busy these days, and no longer have time to contribute daily posts to this here SfK blog. Now it's time for you to get involved and represent for us.

We're looking for passionate Students For Kucinich to join our blogging team and contribute a weekly upload to the official online journal of Students For Kucinich. Share what you've been doing on your campus, tell your peers around the country why they too should support Dennis, and embed videos and photos relevant to the campaign. Send me an e-mail if you're up for the job.



That's all I got for now, but be on the lookout for updates soon. As always, you can also feel free to get in touch with me for any questions you may have.
