Talkers ToolBox
Whether you are talking to neighbors, friends, and relatives -- or Members of Congress and staff -- these documents will put you on solid ground and help you change minds.
Or . . . DO what you can. A single phone call or email adds to the effort. Your action can make the difference.
First, it must be said that holding the hearing was clearly a helpful endeavor. Carping about what it shoulda/coulda been or complaining about what the euphemedia did can be set aside for the moment.
The prospect of impeachment was raised to a new level of legitimacy
..simply by being taken up, discussed, and broadcast on c-span. And many otherwise-dismissive insiders -- including the committee members themselves -- were, in essence, forced to sit and listen to reason for the first time.
NATIONAL IMPEACHMENT NETWORK ANNOUNCEMENT
Come to DC for this Historic Moment: "Hearing on the Imperial Presidency of George W. Bush"
July 22-24 "Impeachment Lobbying Days", House of Representatives
July 25 9 a.m. "Choose the Constitution" Press Conference & Rally
|
I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president's authority. |
 |
Are torture and war crimes not grave? Did they illegally spy on Americans -- before 9/11 -- accidentally? Or rather are you cowering in the face of your duty under the US Constitution and our treaty obligations?
|
These charges are too serious to ignore! Hearings will put the evidence on the table. |

Give Mr. Wexler the Chairman's Gavel – unlike the current DC-Dem "leadership," he knows how to do what must be done. He knows that the damage done by Failure To Impeach is even worse than the regime's.
The Talking Impeachment quick-guide/flyer provides a concise summary of points (moral and practical/political) that challenge the "beltway blindness" and baseless fears that have kept impeachment "off the table."
Use it for talking points or simply pass it out as a flyer. And as always, DO some damn thing.
This guide describes how you can maximize your effectiveness when lobbying a Member of Congress and/or their staff to support impeachment.
It has detailed instructions on how to request, schedule, prepare for, conduct, and follow-up on face-to-face meetings. It tells you what to expect -- what your realistic goal should be -- and how to acccomplish more than just "being heard."

The short answer is that there isn't time. — 2/7/2007 |

Really Chairman Chickenheart? – you had the gavel for a single month and were suddenly out of time to even attempt/begin the impeachment you promised the American People? –
Here are some of the "responses" you might get from those resisting impeachment. They are the false memes that the DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy is promoting (more accurately, parroting) to "defend" their Impeachophobic Groupthink. As nonsensical as the memes might seem, many people have fallen under one or more of these rhetorical spells.
And while they're not difficult to refute in a rational conversation (often you merely need to stare at the impeachophobe for a few seconds, until they realize they've said something ridiculous) -- their power is in their ability to allow the speaker to put the concept of impeachment -- and the responsibility for defending the Constitution -- completely out of their mind and "off the table."
What they ALL have in common is that they're all based on some vague -- fear-based but FALSE -- presumption.
Worse yet, these lame excuses are the last firewall against accountability for the war criminal regime.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Impeachment is off the table. |
 |
Yes, Madame Squeaker – we heard you the first time. And it will be said again and again that the first woman to take the Speaker's gavel failed her only test of leadership.
|
What we're witnessing here is the not-so-slow-moving destruction of our Constitution. |
 |
Exactly, Congressman Courage – and those who stand by and allow it – by their failure to impeach – are doing more to speed that destruction than even the regime itself.
