> Dear Friend,

> I have great news. Thanks to your help, we are making progress on  
> holding President Bush accountable and advancing an impeachment  
> inquiry.
>

> President Bush, quoting two attorneys from the Center for  
> Constitutional Rights. Click here to read this important story.
>
> That’s not all. This Sunday, C-SPAN 2 is broadcasting a panel  
> discussion on the CCR impeachment book that we recently convened.  
> You can see me and several other CCR attorneys outlining the case  
> for impeachment this Sunday, April 2 at 4pm (Eastern Time) on the

> important movement to hold the President accountable and protect

> Of course, today the Senate Judiciary Committee is also considering  
> a resolution to censure President Bush for illegal domestic spying.

> government torture or stop the President’s other violations of the  
> constitutional principle of the separation of powers.  Impeachment  
> will ensure thorough investigation, real accountability and the  
> restoration of our Constitution. Please take a moment now to

> HOLYOKE, Mass. -- To drive through the mill towns and curling
