New Broom Coalition

Dear Friends,

We now have 17 signers on the impeachment letter- see the bottom of this email for letter and current signers. Most people on the cc list above are sending out letters; Kathy and David especially are getting great results. Let's see if we can get 25 signers by tomorrow, for the New Hampshire impeachment hearings. Keep sending out letters; I'll add a couple of other lists to contact. If people get letters from several of us, they are more likely to sign.

Would anyone else in the group be able to help email candidates? The letter, with the current signers at the bottom, follows after the lists of candidates. Peace, Carol

There is a list of about 130 self-styled peace candidates for Congress at

http://peacecandidates.com/peace_candidate_list You have to click on each one's website and find an email address for the person. Some people in NBC haven't signed yet, and might respond to individual letters. Same with LHC, for those who belong to that coalition. Then there's this list of endorsers for A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq.

We the undersigned candidates for Congress believe that there are strong signs that the US government will bomb Iranian nuclear facilities before the end of April. While we appreciate Rep. John Conyers' recent statement that an attack on Iran will lead him to open impeachment hearings, we believe that opening them BEFORE an attack is urgent, in order to prevent WW III.

Impeachment is long overdue. We the undersigned are running for Congress on an impeachment platform, because invading another country (Iraq) on the basis of lying to Congress is impeachable, along with many other actions of Bush and Cheney. We believe they have ignored and overriden the Constitution many times over, as well as violating international treaties that are the supreme law of the land.

As candidates, we have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. All incumbents have taken the same oath, yet they are keeping impeachment off the table. They are violating their oath of office.

We urge current members of Congress to start impeachment proceedings at once. We accuse those who wiill not do this of bad faith, and call them oath breakers. We pledge to make their lack of action on impeachment a central issue this election year.
