This just in: Peace activists needed on Labor day in Wisconsin Rapids

To: WNPJ Organizational Email List

Dear Peace Organization Leader!

A group of peace activists called the Wood County Impeachment Coalition has placed on the Pittsville, WI Nov. ballot the following referendum question:

"Resolved: The U.S. House of Representatives should start an impeachment investigation
against President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney now."

For the last month or so that small Coalition has been working in WI Rapids conducting another direct legislation petition drive to place the same resolution on the WI Rapids ballot for November 7th.

They urgently need help in collecting the last 400 signatures. As of yesterday they had collected about 500 or the 875 signatures needed. They want to turn in a bit more than 900 and this needs to be done in the next 6 days or so in order to get the resolution on the Nov. ballot as a referendum question.

Can you help this effort by sending this message to your email list of members? We are asking for help tomorrow, Labor Day, and for the next 6 days or so.

We absolutely need your help to put the WI Rapids impeachment referendum on the Nov. ballot. We must act fast.

Will you help by forwarding this email to your email list? I will be glad to answer any questions.

Thank you!

Hello All!

Yesterday 8 of us went door to door in WI Rapids collecting signatures on the Impeachment Petition Drive. The WI Rapids team lead by Robert Hoch and Bill Dolan now have 500 of the 875 signatures needed. They have about 6 days left to turn the petitions into the city to make the Nov. ballot deadline.

Tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 4th, the WI Rapids Labor Council is holding a Labor Day Celebration. It is from 11 AM to 6 PM. We need volunteers there to collect signatures. We will also have a team going door to door collecting signatures. Can YOU help?

The plan for Labor Day: We will leave Stoughton at about 8:30 AM and meet Madison area people at the Park and Ride at Hwy. 51 and the South Beltline at 9:00 AM and then leave for Rapids. We will meet at Bill Dolan's home at 11:00 AM, organize ourselves with clip boards, buttons, signs, name tags, etc. And then head out to Labor Fest and to do doors. We will probably return to Madison by 7 PM or so. You will be tired, a bit sunburned but energized by how much people want change in our nation. People at the doors want to know how our nation can be stopped from sliding into oblivion. We tell them impeachment is the answer. And it is!

Contact info for Bill Dolan, 715-423-9359, 481 Two Mile Ave. (near airport), WI Rapids, jobido@charter.net
Robert Hoch's number is 715- 652-3275.

QUESTION: Can you join us? Can you bring your partner or older children or a friend and help us?

We have two slots empty in our car and can also drive another car and carry four more people. Buzz Davis' cell number is 608-239-5354. Email me back today or call by 8 AM or so Monday so we know how many cars we need.

Why so late a request? Since Friday I have been trying to contact the central labor president to find out if a festival is planned. I found out yesterday afternoon that a festival is planned. So we are going to hit it. Hopefully we can get 200 or more signatures but we need volunteers to talk to people. So we ask you to help!

If you are not so good at walking you can sit in a chair, hold an Impeach Bush Here sign and collect signatures as folks walk from the parking lot.

It will be fun, you will meet new Democrats/progressives and help put WI Rapids on the political map for Nov. 2006. The resolution that is on the ballot is at the end of this message.

OVERVIEW OF NOV. 2006. Over 1 million people in WI may be able to vote on Bring Our Troops Home referendums in WI. Is that stunning? ONE MILLION PEOPLE! Possibly no where else in the US will so massive a group of voters be able to voice their opinions at the ballot box on the two most important issues America faces: the wars and impeachment.

13 or more cities, villages, townships and counties will probably have Troops Out referendums. In addition, Pittsville, WI, pop. 900 or so, and hopefully WI Rapids, pop. 19,000 or so, will have impeachment referendums on the ballot.

This amazing situation has taken place because a few, like one, two or three, dedicated Americans is these communities said we need to do something. And they decided to do petition drives. In Milwaukee two or three people met and said how in the world can our small group gather over 21,000 signatures to place a Troops Home referendum on the city ballot. Well, 600,000 people in Milw. will now be voting Nov. on the Troops Out referendum! The Dane county board of supervisors, and we need you help on this one, will hopefully be voting this month on whether to place a Troops Out referendum on the Dane co. ballot. The Sauk county board of supervisors will also be voting on a Nov. Troops Out referendum.

As November nears and the wars get worse and the administration does ever more lying, saber rattling or military strikes against Iran or N. Korea the media will be focusing on WI. What do the people in mid America say? How will they vote on Troops Home? Do people at the grass roots really want impeachment?

BACK TO NOW! That is the big picture but today we need just a few people to volunteer to travel to WI Rapids to help out the dedicated volunteers to have done so much and are so close to victory. We need just 375 more names to get the impeachment referendum on the ballot.

WILL YOU HELP ON LABOR DAY??? CAN YOU HELP ONE DAY DURING THE NEXT 5 OR 6 DAYS???

Thank you very much!
