Editor -   Kudos to Representative Anna Eshoo for getting after Vice 
President Cheney for illegally pressuring U.S. Interior Department 
(U.S.D.I.) officials to divert water needed to maintain salmon in the 
Klamath river.  According to the July 13 VOICE, Eshoo stated, "The vice 
president is not above the law or immune from Congressional oversight."

Great!  Now Rep. Eshoo can follow up to prove her claim that Cheney is  
not above the law,  by helping to invoke the impeachment process.  The  
Vice President - and the President - are indeed chargable for allegedly 
misusing their high offices, for violating the Constitution, for crimes 
against humanity, for committing fraud, and for a number of other 
blatant offenses. 

After the House Judiciary  Committee places an impeachment bill on its 
calendar, investigative hearings and debating  precede the vote on 
impeachment.  If a simple  majority of the House vote to impeach Cheney 
and/or Bush they will be tried in the Senate.  The Senate will 
subsequently decide if the charges warrant removing them from office.

The general consensus among Rep. Eshoo's constituents seems that they 
want Cheney and Bush to be impeached.

On the PBS "Bill Moyers Journal," Friday, July 13, Moyers hosted 
constitutional scholars, John Nichols and Bruce Fein, who eloquently  
made the case on how critically important it is to uphold and protect 
the people's Constitution by utilizing its impeachment prerogative.  
They repeatedly emphasized that if Cheney and Bush are not held 
accountable for their constitutional violations, it will result in a 
very dangerous precedent that  future  presidential administrations 
could perpetuate.

Anna Eshoo's colleague, Dennis Kucinich, from Ohio, has already authored 
an impeach Vice President bill (H. Res. 333) and has gained the 
cosponsorship of fifteen other House members.  However, more cosponsors 
are needed to help induce House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to retract her 
edict to keep impeachment "off the table."

Representative Eshoo needs our support to take a stand to uphold the 
Constitution through the legal process of impeachment.  It's the right 
and patriotic thing to do.

Representative Anna Eshoo's contact numbers are:  202-225-8104 (Wash. DC);
202-225-8890 (DC Fax);   650-323-2984  (Palo Alto);
