Nancy Pelosi has received a whole lot of criticism for continually repeating that impeachment is "off the table." Now, House Resolution 333 for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney is off of the House floor, and has been sent instead to the Judiciary Committee for "further study."
Just as an aside, in the world of motorcycles a lot of us have learned how to say 'fuck you' in Japanese: "Ah, so, must study!".
This action, consistent with Pelosi's mantra that impeachment is "off the table," has many people angry. Pelosi did, however, provide us a small window: in reply to a question of impeachment, she stated that if she received 10,000 handwritten letters, she would proceed with it.
So, in this high-tech world, where we do everything possible to avoid manually writing out our correspondence - we shoot off e-mails, sign up for electronic banking, pay our bills through the computer, send in rebates electronically, write blogs instead of diaries - I'm asking you to do something a little old-fashioned.
Sit down with a pen and paper, and a stamped envelope, and write.
And don't put it off - the letters will be hand delivered to Pelosi's office in San Francisco before Thanksgiving, so have your letter mailed by Friday, November 16th.
The body of the letter they want us to write and the address to send it to - NOT Nancy Pelosi - is at the site. It's a pretty long letter. Watch your penmanship.
If we're not serious enough about impeachment to spend a little time risking writer's cramp, we're not serious enough about impeachment. Do it now, please.
Update:
The suggested letter was waaaay too long. I used the first, third, and last paragraphs. It fit on one page. Took about fifteen minutes.
Now to catch the outgoing mail. Hark! I think I hear his mule clip-clopping by...
