Nationwide Impeachment Actions on April 28!




There will be protests in towns and cities all over the country. And everywhere people will be using signs, their bodies, chalk, or anything else they can think of to spell out IMPEACH! We invite everybody to start thinking about the most creative, spectacular, beautiful, and clever ways they can come up with to spell it out. This is a spin-off of the BeachImpeach project on the shores of San Francisco where over 1,100 people spelled out "Impeach!" Find out what is going on in your town, or start your own project. You can do it with as little as 7 people, or as many as you can gather. Be a part of history and this media grabbing call to defend our constitution through impeachment.

7 people can paint 7 boxes white with a black letter on each one to spell "IMPEACH!" Attach some sticks so you can lift them overhead. 7 people then carry the letters around. You can then add that to a march, or just wander through your downtown area drawing attention, and getting out the message in a creative way.

Do-It-Yourself Impeachments: Send Tuesday


Our next wave of Do-It-Yourself Impeachments are due. This time we're sending them to Republican Representative and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. He's spoken in favor of impeachment. Here's a clip of his most recent comments about impeachment. While he shies away from calling for it directly, he does speak in favor of impeachment investigations.
If you're unfamiliar with the DIY Impeachment method, IfP has researched a method for impeaching the president using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson’s Manual"). This document actually empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves.

"Jefferson's Manual" is an interpretive guide to parliamentary procedure, and is included (along with the Constitution) in the bound volumes of the Rules of the House of Representatives. It is ratified by each congress (including the current one), and has been updated continuously through the history of our democracy. The section covering impeachment lists the acceptable vehicles for bringing impeachment motions to the floor of the House.

Before the House Judiciary Committee can put together the Articles of Impeachment, someone must initiate the impeachment procedure. Most often, this occurs when members of the House pass a resolution. Another method outlined in the manual, however, is for individual citizens to submit a memorial for impeachment.

After learning this information, Minnesotan and Impeach for Peace member (Jodin Morey) found precedent in an 1826 memorial by Luke Edward Lawless which had been successful in initiating the impeachment of Federal Judge James H. Peck. Impeach for Peace then used this as a template for their "Do-It-Yourself Impeachment." Now any citizen can download the DIY Impeachment Memorial and submit it, making it possible for Americans to do what our representatives have been unwilling to do. The idea is for so many people to submit the Memorial that it cannot be ignored.

Go to the document at our website, fill in your relevant information in the blanks (Name/State), print it out, sign it, and send in your memorial on Tuesday the 20th. There's also extra credit for sending a DIY Impeachment to your own representative.

That's right — to make a big impact, we're having everyone send it in on the same date (Over 500,000 downloads so far representing over 1.6 million mailings). We hope to flood the congress with sacks of mail and cause a newsworthy event to further pressure them to act on the memorials. Although, it's important to keep in mind that in the 1830 precedent, impeachment resulted as a result of a single memorial. Yours might be the one.
Here's where to find the DIY Impeachment (Also en espaƱol.)

Our next wave, which we currently plan on delivering in July is going to be a little different. We're asking everyone to mail them to IfP. We'll then video tape one of our members hand delivering them to Washington. Stay tuned...
