Finally! Congress is about to vote whether to impeach President William Jefferson Clinton. After months of scandal, referrals and testimony, all of it may boil down to the question:
HAVE YOU WRITTEN CONGRESS YET?
The framers of the constitution put the impeachment process in the
hands of congress rather than the court's so that the popular opinion of
the country would play a pivotal roll. It is very important that
every single American citizen participate in this process.
Impeachment is unusual because Congress can overturn the results of a national election. Each representative, therefore, is responsible not only to their constituents, but to each and every American. Likewise, your opinion needs to be heard not only by your direct representatives, but by every member of congress.
Yet in our busy lives it's hard to make time to find our representatives and write them. With Be Heard! you can quickly and easily write e-mail to every online member of Congress as well as The White House, and the editorial pages of: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time and Newsweek.
This service costs $5.00. Whoa! five bucks for e-mail?! If you were to write to everyone on this list via the U.S. Mail (more than 400 names) it would costs you over $150.00! And how much time would it take you to research and compile this list yourself?
No matter where your feelings lie on the political spectrum, the impeachment
proceedings are sure to stir passionate feelings. You are just 5 minutes
and $5.00 away from fulfilling your civic duty and making your voice heard
all across Washington. Be Heard Now!
