The Washington (state) legislature is scheduled to hold hearings this week on the impeachment of Bush/Cheney.
As a state legislative body they are allowed to do this and to then present it to the Speaker Pelosi for further action. The way I understand it, Speaker Pelosi must act on it and cannot simply table it because she removed impeachment from the table.
See link to the article below: the WA state legislature is being urged to stop the proceedings! They're being asked by their representatives in congress not to go ahead with the hearing, although they appear to have the votes.
This is not acceptable!
Before you say I’m busy or I don’t have time, please recognize that we are now in a constitutional crisis and the Speaker of the House has taken impeachment off the table. If you read any of the Sy Hersh material this weekend, you can see that impeachment may be the only way available to us to stop them. We cannot allow them to "redirect" the war/occupation, which they have already done (secretly and without congressional input/approval).
The Speaker seems to be way behind what's happening and she seems to think that she can stop them with ordinary measures, even though the reality says that they will continue to ignore legitimate legislation, subpoenas from Waxman and Conyers, and they will continue to swiftboat Murtha. What Cheney is doing now with this shadow government is more than chilling. If you haven't read the diaries and read the most recent Sy Hersh articles, please do so. How else can we stop them if impeachment is off the table?
Please act on this NOW!
The WA state senate is now getting pressure from their congressional representatives to stop the hearing and the impeachment process. Here’s a link to the original article.

I suggest that you get your friends and family members to write to Senator Farley and her and ask her NOT to stop proceedings for the sake of the country.

Above is her contact information and a link to her e-mail is below. You can e-mail her if you're not a WA resident. Just go through the process and your message will go through.
