[Sosfbay-discuss] Nov 6 Impeach Cheney Vote in House!!!

[Drew Johnson]

I called George and he is wanting to call a rally like the ones that Carol
and we have done in the past at Lytton plaza and do an action at Eshoo's
office.  He said he was thinking of calling Carol to see if she'd be
interested in such a thing.  I said we are having a meetup tomorrow and we
could call to check in.


Impeach for Peace!
