A lonely impeachment drive

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich has become a one-man crusader for impeachment in Washington. The former Democratic candidate for president is preparing to introduce once again on Thursday an article of impeachment against President Bush for the offense of "taking our nation and our troops to war based on lies." Kucinich's actions are not welcomed by party leaders like Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and Speaker Nancy Pelosi who fear the pursuance of the Constitutionally-mandated separation of powers during an election year.

The U.S. Senate this week takes up an important bill involving tax credits for historic properties. This is vital legislation for the rebuilding of downtowns and historic neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Iowa City, and other smaller Iowa towns damaged by June's flooding. The proposed amendment would increase the federal rehabilitation tax credit from 20% to 40% in flood-affected areas.

Every email and/or fax to your senator will help to save some of these downtowns and imperative neighborhoods that need assistance yesterday. And how often do I ask you to do shit?
