Holiday Impeachment Cards

Impeach bush yourself logoSeasons Greetings!
This holiday season you can give your friends and family the gift that keeps on giving. You can help them deck the halls of congress with colorful impeachment petitions! Impeach for Peace has created holiday impeachment cards that allow your friends and family to initiate the impeachment process. Impeach for Peace created the Holiday Impeachment image, and researched a company that will allow you to send jumbo sized postcards along with a personalized message using your web browser. The first card you send is free! The cost of sending additional holiday greetings ranges from $1.11 to $1.87/card depending on how many you send. (Impeach for Peace receives no funds from these holiday greetings.)
 
Great for Christmas, Quanza, Haunakha, or Solstice.

What better gift to give this holiday season than the restoration of our democracy? Over this past year, Bush has become an even greater threat to our Constitution. Lucky for us, the rules of the US House of Representatives allow for individual citizens like you and I to initiate the impeachment process directly! Just follow the instructions on the reverse side of this card. This process was successfully used to impeach in the past. For more information about this memorial (or how to give your own gift of impeachment), go to ImpeachforPeace.org.
Have a merry impeachment this season!
