*TIMID LIBERALS SELL OUT OVER WITNESSES & OTHER EVIDENCE
Last week, 25 mostly liberal Republican Senators crossed over to vote with the
Democrats killing the motion for live witnesses. The need now for additional
witnesses and evidence has become paramount. The recent revelation that
Sidney
Blumenthal perjured himself in his deposition has prompted Rep. Henry Hyde
(R-IL) to demand depositions of Christopher Hitchens and several other
journalists who contradict Blumenthal’s statements. “During their secret
deliberations, the Senators must not ignore the seriousness of this new
evidence which buttesses the obstruction of justice charge,” says CIC’s Scott
Lauf.
*FINAL VOTE APPROACHES….MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
Despite being hampered by the restrictive rules of the trial, the House
managers effectively presented their closing arguments for conviction and
removal. There is no doubt that President Clinton committed the criminal
felonies of perjury and obstruction of justice. It is now up to the timid
Senators who are now deliberating in “closed” session to decide whether or not
the President is above the law. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), who has changed his
tune before, has now said he believes the President committed “high crimes and
misdemeanors,” but also says he has to take into account Bill Clinton’s
so-called popularity. “Byrd & Co. must be told that neither ‘job approval
ratings’ nor mob sentiment can overrule the law of the land,” says CIC’s Jack
Clayton.
--PLEASE CALL, FAX & E-Mail your Senators (#202-224-3121) as well as those
selected at http://www.impeachclinton.org/resources.php?article=contact and DEMAND
CONVICTION & REMOVAL! Denounce ALL efforts for “censure” and other
unconstitutional deals which are just ways to cover their hides.
--These next 72 hours are your last chance to persuade your lawmakers to do
the right thing before the expected final vote on late Thursday or Friday.
Make it count!
*TROUSER BRIGADE MAKES THE NEWS
The group calling itself the “Clinton-Without-Trousers Brigade” has had a
photo
of their fine work, as well as their manifesto, published in today’s
Washington
Times newspaper (2/9/99 p.A10). The group has urged all Americans to not
forget
the “Jane Does” who have suffered because of Clinton, and it has pledged to
strike again between now and President’s Day.... “stay viewed to a tree near
you.”
*WEAR “YELLOW” NEXT WEEK ??
If we lose the upcoming vote on removal, the battle is far from over. After
the vote, CIC urges all supporters to wear “yellow” shirts, ties, hats & other
articles of clothing and/or wrap yellow crepe paper around trees and poles in
your community. “Yellow symbolizes cowardice, and we want to send the message
that the Senators who voted to protect a criminal in the White House are
nothing but cowards,” says CIC’s Jack Clayton.
*NEW POLLS SHOW AMERICANS FED UP WITH CLINTON
If the media spinsters have discouraged you over the months about Clinton’s
supposed “popularity,” you can happily take note of recent polls measuring
Clinton’s character and conduct. FOX News has found that over 70% believe
Clinton is guilty of perjury; 56% believe he will lie again; and a little over
50% believe he obstructed justice. (Other equally revealing polls are posted
on our web site http://www.impeachclinton.org ). “Clearly, if some
Senators are
so obsessed about the polls, they should definitely listen to these,” CIC’s
Michael Neal.
*SENATE CLERK TRAGICALLY KILLED
The Senate Clerk Scott Bates, whose familiar voice over the Senate impeachment
trial could be heard in the quorums and roll call votes, was tragically struck
down by a car in Arlington, VA late last Friday. His wife was also hit and is
in critical condition. The mood in the Senate was somber during Saturday’s
proceedings. Bates had worked in the Senate for 30 years and was known
personally by all the Senators. CIC’s Stephen Miroy is asking supporters to
send letters of condolence addressed to: The Bates Family, 1825 N. Arlington
St., Arlington, VA 22205.
*LATEST POSTINGS AT WWW.IMPEACHCLINTON.ORG
CIC recently delivered to the Senate another 15,000 web site petitions calling
for conviction which were collected in the last few days. Please see our
latest letter (accompanying the petitions) to all 100 Senators demanding their
vote for removal. We also have new commentary on why other witnesses could
still haunt the White House; webmaster Jim Huber’s most recent artwork and
humor; CIC’s goals in the post-impeachment era; and much, much more….only at
