Waters, Lee, Woolsey Say Impeachment Way to End War
By Debra Sweet
Congresswomen Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, and Lynn Woolsey dropped in on an "Impeach the President" book event on
Tuesday. Dennis Loo, Barbara Bowling, Larry Everest and I spoke. During Q, the 3 of them rushed in between votes, and made a prepared statement of reading the 3 articles of impeachment (H Res
333). They were very warm and enthusiastic, told us to go on and build a political movement. They said they had been
opposed to impeachment until recently, when they began to understand impeachment is the way to end the war!
It was really encouraging. Maxine said she's speaking on July 4 at the opening in LA of the impeachment center. Now we
need to get the others doing so.
And on Monday night in New York former Congressman Major Owens called for us to "lay siege" to Nadler's and Conyer's
offices. He had a pretty well thought through plan, with dates. I'm trying to get a meeting with him to discuss his
participation. He said Conyers would "welcome you" if you sat in his office demanding impeachment.
We have video tape we're trying to get uploaded quickly of last night's event.
