Hi AfDers and friends,
 
Below is note from Democrats.com stating the the new appropriations for the American war on Iraq will be voted on on thursday and calling for phone calls to your US Representative.  Don't forget that you can call via this toll free number - 877 828 0498.  That is the US Congress switchboard; just ask for your US Representative.
 
And while you are talking to them, tell them to co-sponsor Rep Dennis Kucinich's 35 points to Impeach the President.

House Votes TODAY (Thursday) on Iraq $165B - Call NOW Late Wednesday, House "Democratic" Leader Steny Hoyer announced a deal with George Bush to give him $165B more for Iraq without bringing a single soldier home. And Hoyer wants the Democratic Congress to pass the bill today (Thursday) - before the 68% of Americans who oppose the disastrous occupation get ourselves organized.  So please pick up the phone right now and tell your House Representative to vote NO on wasting $165 billion more in Iraq. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your House Representative (not Senators) by name, or find your House Representative's name and direct dial by entering your address on the right side: http://usalone.com On May 15, your passionate calls persuaded 149 Representatives to vote NO, and we shocked Steny Hoyer by winning that vote 149-141. We can win again if you call today. Don't accept any excuses from your Representative. If (s)he says (s)he is voting yes to fund new GI college benefits, flood relief, and unemployment benefits, tell your Representative those programs have overwhelming support and should be passed separately, not combined with $165B for Iraq. Tell your Representative you will only accept a NO vote on Iraq funds. After you call, share your Representative's response with your neighbors by logging in to Democrats.com. (If you've never created a Democrats.com login, be sure to provide your voting address so we can find your Congressional District.)

Bob Fertik ___________________ Sponsored message Last year, Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) launched WexlerWantsHearings.com to persuade Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Judiciary Chairman John Conyers to hold hearings on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's 3 Articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney. Last week, Rep. Wexler was the first Democrat to co-sponsor Dennis Kucinich's 35 Articles of Impeachment against George Bush (see below). Now it's our turn to support a Democratic hero by pre-ordering Congressman Robert's Wexler's new book Fire-Breathing Liberal. Last week, Democrats.com members pushed Fire-Breathing Liberal right to the top of Amazon best-seller list. Let's do it again and show Washington that Robert Wexler speaks for us! ___________________ Kucinich's 35 Articles of Impeachment Gain Support, Need More Co-Sponsors On June 9, Rep. Dennis Kucinich made history on the floor of the House by reading 35 Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush, now H.Res. 1258.  In just six days, over 25,000 of you emailed your Representatives to co-sponsor the 35 Articles: http://www.democrats.com/35-articles-of-impeachment The first three co-sponsors were Robert Wexler (FL19), Lynn Woolsey (CA06), and Barbara Lee (CA09). The charges presented by Rep. Kucinich are so serious that every Member of Congress should demand Judiciary Committee hearings by becoming a co-sponsor.
