(Washington, D.C.) The Clinton Investigative Commission brought 200,000 more petitions asking for support for HRes. 304 (introduced by Congressman Bob Barr which calls for an impeachment inquiry) to members of the House Judiciary Committee. The first office they visited was Congressman Henry Hyde at 2 p.m., Wednesday, February 18, 1998 in Room 2138 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The Monica Effect contributed to today's delivery of 200,000 petitions. This brings to one million petitions that our group has delivered. Clinton's continued denials of obvious illegalities in the Monica Lewinsky case, contrary to polls, helped the Clinton Investigative Commission to meet its goal of delivering one million petitions to Congress demanding prosecution, by Congress, of President William Clinton. These petitions represent the latest in political direct mail terms: the Monica Effect, which overcomes interest in the conflict with Iraq, said Michael Neal, a spokesman for the group, in a statement released outside Congressman Henry Hyde's office.
The group visited all the members of the Judiciary Committee and the Rules
Committee, and the office of Rep. Dan Burton. CIC's vigourous grass-roots efforts will
continue until President Clinton is forced from office by resignation or impeachment.
