NOTE: Excellent live blogging, and background info on what’s happening with this hearing, at afterdowningstreet.org.

While you’re listening, take action! Call every member of the Judiciary Committee (and especially if you’re a constituent of one of them) and tell them to GET TO THE HEARING NOW! and send an email here:

At long last, the outcry from the American people for Constitutional justice has compelled the House Judiciary Committee to convene its first hearing. But will they be real hearings, where members of Congress actually honor their duty to protect and defend the Constitution, or just a fly by with action on impeachment itself still expressly off the agenda.

The difference has always been and remains YOU. Your emails, your phone calls, your faxes, have made the difference so far and will continue to make the critical difference now.

America Must Hear The Truth, And Congress Must Prosecute Impeachment
Many members of Congress have publicly conceded that gross “impeachable” offenses have been committed by the president and vice president. What they must clearly understand is that these high crimes DEMAND impeachment. It is not some strategic political option. It is an Constitutional imperative. That is the message we must send in greater numbers now than ever before.

The one click form at this page will send your personal message to all your government representatives selected below, including John Conyers himself, the chairman of the judiciary committee, with the subject “Hold Real Impeachment Hearings.” At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like.
