CONTACT YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS NOW
The House Leadership is rushing to impeach President Clinton before the
newly elected Congress is sworn in. In spite of the clear message sent
by voters only a month ago, the Leadership is determined to move
forward with this partisan process. THE VOTE WILL BE VERY CLOSE. The
nation could be paralyzed for months if the President is put on trial
in the Senate.
YOU CAN PREVENT THIS.
Three simple steps to stopping impeachment:
1. Call your Representative through Wednesday Dec. 16, toll-free!
CALL TOLL-FREE 1-877-TO-MOVE-ON (1-877-866-6836) to reach the
Capitol Hill switchboard. Ask for your Representative, or just
give the operator your zip code and you'll be transferred
directly to his or her office. It's easy and free. If you get
a busy signal, try again. Every phone call makes a difference.
OR, go to http://www.pfaw.org/moveon/ to look up your
Representative using your zip code. You will find these
instructions and other actions you can take to stop impeachment.
2. Tell them to stop impeachment.
Here's a sample conversation, in case you're tongue-tied:
Staff: Hello, Rep. Livingston's office.
You: Hi, I'm a constituent opposed to impeachment. I want Congress
to immediately MOVE ON to the more urgent issues facing the
nation. Please have the Representative let me know what he/she
plans to do to accomplish this.
Staff: Will do. Just give me your address and we'll write you.
3. Let us know how it went. Fill out the feedback form at
http://www.pfaw.org/moveon/feedback.shtml to tell us what happened.
______________________________________________________________________
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
* You can also call the House Leadership. Even if they aren't your
Representatives, they are responsible to you. Call them through
the toll free number (877-866-6836) or at the numbers below, and
tell them the same thing:
Bob Livingston: (202) 225-3015, House Speaker Elect
Henry Hyde: (202) 225-4561, House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Tom DeLay: (202) 225-5951, Majority Whip
* Send an email to your friends to remind them to call too!
Forward this message, or go to http://www.pfaw.org/moveon/
to send an instant e-mail alert.
* Distribute 'Let's Move On' fliers anywhere you can: your
neighborhood, church, campus, book club, door to door, parking
lots, and any organizations you are a part of. You can download
a copy at http://www.pfaw.org/moveon/stop.pdf
* Write letters to the editors of your local newspapers. Tell them
you think Congress needs to move on. Voice your own concerns
about the direction our nation is headed. A sample letter is
available at http://www.pfaw.org/moveon/editor.shtml
* Call in to local talk shows and let fellow listeners know what
Congress is up to and that America needs to speak out. Make sure
to mention 1-877-TO-MOVE-ON and www.pfaw.org/moveon/
* Talk to everyone you know about this, and urge them to call.
Many of your friends, relatives and neighbors may not even know
that this is going on.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
On Nov. 3 voters sent a message to Congress: It's time to move on.
But Congress is ignoring the message.
Last week, the House Judiciary Committee voted articles of impeachment
against the President. The full House will vote THIS WEEK, and if
even one article of impeachment passes, a trial will be launched in
the Senate that could last for MONTHS.
Congress should be doing the work of the people. Focusing on issues
like Education. Health Care. Civil Rights. Making America a better
place to live.
So it's time to send another message.
Through Wednesday December 16, we have arranged for FREE long distance
calls directly to Capitol Hill. We need to make sure Congress
understands the nation is passionately opposed to this cynical and
destructive use of the impeachment process.

______________________________________________________________________
RESPONSE HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS! By 5:00 pm EST on Friday December 11,
we have logged over 86,000 phone calls through our 1-877-TO-MOVE-ON
number, which does not even count direct calls to Congress.
Here is some feedback from a fellow concerned citizen:
"This is the first time I have ever called my representive ever.
You made it easy! Thank you. [My Representative is opposed to
impeachment and intends to vote against it!!"
Congress needs to hear MORE from the American people. If you haven't
gotten through yet, keep trying.
When you call, please be polite and remember that the staff members
are answering thousands of calls.
