This afternoon, Congressman Dennis Kucinich is forcing a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives with respect to his bill, HR 333-- the move to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney on charges related to deception of the American public regarding the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

This move invokes the right of a "privileged resolution," meaning that hundreds of thousands of citizens have signed countless petitions calling for these impeachment proceedings. Congressman Kucinich heard the will of the people loud and clear, and submitted these petitions on behalf of all Americans. Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would only allow a few pages of petitions to be turned in each day, it has taken the American people months to see their efforts come to light.

Today is the day that we will force our Congress to vote on impeachment proceedings against Dick Cheney.

Even with petitions, our work is not done; we have to urge our Representatives to support this bill and not table it-- which effectively kills it and our hopes for a democracy of the people, for the people.

Call the Capitol switchboard right now at (202) 224-3121 or go to http://www.house.gov and enter your ZIP Code to find your local member of Congress, and then tell them the following:

"I urge the Representative to VOTE TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS as outlined in HR 333."
