Hi

Daniel Ellsberg spoke today at the War and Law League annual meeting here in San Francisco. www.warandlaw.org  He mentioned that the New Hampshire HR is getting ready to vote on an impeachment resolution.

If this should pass it would mandate a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. It would be a priviliged motion which means Pelosi couldn't block it. It would go directly to the floor without having to go through any committee hearings to slow it down.

Hopefully, folks from there are mobilizing.

Baldasaro (R-Londonderry) tries to pervert HR24 Impeachment Resolution with illegal amendment
NH Representative Baldasaro (r-Londonderry) attempts to derail HR24 with illegal amendment to impeach Carol Shea Porter...HELP NEEDED - ETERNAL VIGILANCE - HELP PASS HR24

Betty Hall will be on George Corrette's radio show this morning (Thursday) from 9-10am live streaming on this web site: www.WKNH.org

George's program is called "Empire Watch" and it comes right out of Keene State College 91.3 FM (It comes right after Democracy Now! from 8-9am).

What happened Wednesday was only the tip of the iceberg revealed right here in NH....we now see plainly the cards that Bush's supporters are mounting against Betty's petition calling for commencement of impeachment hearings of Bush/Cheney.

We are shining the light of underhanded tactics.....meant to discredit and bring shame on the impeachment process and drag US Representative Carol Shea-Porter into this nefarious plot by introducing...like a toxic slug!....an illegal amendment onto Betty's petition.

If they were giving out lemons, Betty has turned it into lemonade.........as was the case today. NH State Rep. Alfred Baldasaro from Londonderry started to hand an information sheet to any NH State Rep who happened to be going in and out of the Hall of Representatives this afternoon. This 'information sheet' concerned NH US Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter and it included many statements which were not true....Baldasaro wanted to attach an amendment onto Betty's petition which called for Congresswoman Shea-Porter to also be included in the impeachment inquiry along with Bush and Cheney!

Just to let everyone know....Betty had at her seat on the House floor all those copied 1200+ letters of support from all over NH & other states far and wide.....

We were able to get 2 independent opinions saying that it is illegal according to US Constitution for a State legislature to impeach a sitting federal US House Representative! 
(What is Baldasaro trying to pull over these NH State Reps???!!!)

Ever alert bright-eyed Betty was able to get her petition taken off the floor for the moment & to be brought up at the discretion of the House Speaker in about 3 weeks (which rendered mute Baldasaro's attempt to usurp it through an added illegal amendment). 

In our attempts to contact the Shea-Porter office, we've discovered that Carol has now landed in Iraq for a visit...checking on troops, needs and the picture there....on behalf of her job with Veterans Affairs....and we were told that she would be kept informed about these developments at the State House today, and the effort on everyone's part to keep her name out of being used in this most disrespectful manner.

We now have another few weeks of press and much needed contact with other NH State Reps to rally and inform themselves about Betty Hall's petition by YOU calling them---ESPECIALLY those State Reps in Carol Shea-Porter's district who have worked so very hard to help Carol get elected to the US House! AND contact those supporters as well in Carol's district & inform them of what the opposition has up their sleeve! 

NH Representative contacts here

We need your help, folks, from Carol's district!!! BUT...simply folks....we need your help now more than ever before for Betty's HR24!

1. Call your NH State Reps (and more) and tell them that you support Betty's request to start an inquiry into this administration's activities: Support HR24! Tell them why you support impeachment of Bush and Cheney! AND LISTEN to them to see where THEIR objections are with this voice of the people! Take notes and let us know the objections.

2. Please listen to George's radio program this morning to hear Betty talk about what we can do. www.WKNH.org

3. Go to Betty's new website to listen to testimony given at the Feb 19 hearing! www.Hall4Impeachment.com

4. Write a letter of support for Betty's petition at this email address to Betty: I.support.HR24 at gmail.com

5. We surely could use some funds to help pay for all much needed correct information about impeachment, which we've had printed to hand out to NH State Reps as well as press! For the moment please send to: Nancy J.M. White, 12 Main Street, Amherst, NH 03031

6. Read this article about Betty in today's front page story in the Concord Monitor! www.concordmonitor.com...

Ever vigilant on behalf of our precious freedom and rule of law,
Nancy White
