Below is a letter sent to over 100 newspapers across WI.

Out of Iraq and Impeach the Leaders
In WI and across the nation the word is gathering attention. More than two years ago some called on Congress to start the impeachment process against President Bush for his violation of international law by conducting an illegal war of aggression. And now he is challenged by Congress for his directing the National Security Agency to illegally spy on Americans.

The Madison based Clarence Kailin Chapter of Veterans for Peace will provide citizens of South Central Wisconsin the opportunity to help censure Mr. Bush. Please attend our town meeting entitled Out of Iraq and Impeach the Leaders. This meeting will coincide with more than 60 other events across the nation in answer to the call by the AfterDowningStreet.org Coalition of peace and justice organizations.

We invite citizens of every village, town and city in South Central Wisconsin to join us on Saturday, January 7, 1:00 p.m. at the Madison Labor Temple, 1602 South Park Street.

Join us to help our nation live by the rule of law -- not arbitrary power.
Writer John Nichols has eloquently challenged each of us: It is unlikely that the effort to censure Bush and Cheney, let alone impeach them, will get far without significant organizing around the country. We say let us begin organizing January 7th.
