| Yes, you too can join the loopy loons! Veterans For Peace Launches "Support and Defend the Constitution" (Stop The Madness of George Bush) WHEN: Thursday, January 25th, 2 p.m. WHERE: U.S. Capitol Building, West Front Lawn, Washington D.C. POC: Daniel Fearn, aldermn@earthlink.net, (612) 529-9345 On Thursday, January 25 Veterans For Peace will kickoff our Support and Defend the Constitution effort, to advocate for impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, force the President to follow the will of the people and Bring The Troops Home Now, stop illegal acts of the Bush administration such as unwarranted surveillance and torture and repeal laws that are in violation of the Constitution such as the Military Commissions Act. This VFP action will lead up to the January 27th Mobilization in Washington, DC to remind congress they were elected to end the war. All veterans are welcomed to participate. The general public is welcomed and encouraged to attend. The goals of the action are to: To demand congress follow the will of the people, de-fund the war, use the money to Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home Now! To restate our oath of service as veterans to support and defend the Constitution. Remind Congress (House and Senate), that they took a similar oath, thus they have a responsibility to hold in check the powers of the Executive. Tell Congress they are a branch of our government, not an arm of the President. To invite veterans across the nation to unite with us in our effort to defend and support the Constitution by advocating for the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. To highlight President BushÂ’s disregard for his oath of service and office, in contrast to VFP and other veterans continued commitment to Support and Defend the Constitution. We ask Chapters and members to organize a similar event any date from January 25 to February 19th, PresidentÂ’s Day. We would like as many events as possible on Jan 25th. Event components: Reading of appropriate sections from Constitution. Retaking oath to Support and Defend the Constitution Review of Veterans For Peace charges for impeachment. Try to follow up with a visit to your local Congressional Representative or Senators |
