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&A, 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. He said Conyers would
“welcome you” if you sat in his office demanding impeachment.
