1. SUPPORT TAKING A
STAND ON AN IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION OF BILL CLINTON |
|
Key Facts: Most members of the House have tap danced around whether or not they
support an immediate impeachment investigation. It's time to hold their feet to the fire
on this issue!
|
|
Write, fax or e-mail: [ ] Your Congressman; if he hasn't taken
a firm position, pin him down!
|
|
[ ] The Editor; enlist your neighbors in this "pin-him-down" campaign.
|
|
|
 |
2. OPPOSE ANY LEGISLATION GIVING "FAST
TRACK" TRADE AGREEMENT AUTHORITY |
|
Key facts: A House vote is likely later this month on legislation to give the
President "fast track" authority to negotiate trade agreements. Under "fast
track" authority, any agreement could not be amended by Congress and would have to be
either accepted or rejected exactly as submitted.
|
|
Write, fax, or e-mail: [ ] Your Congressman, opposing ANY
"fast track" trade agreement bill.
|
|
|
 |
3. OPPOSE HR 3114, HR 3287, HR 3580 -- IMF FUNDING
FOR ASIAN/OTHER BAILOUTS |
|
Key facts: This $18 billion bailout is a top Insider priority -- but opposition
is building in the House. (Collapse of the Russian economy, in spite of big IMF funding,
is helping to build that opposition.) Ron Paul's HR 3090 would withdraw us from the IMF,
thus stopping ALL funding.
|
|
Write, fax, or e-mail: [ ] Your Congressman, opposing ALL
bailouts, supporting HR 3090.
|
|
|
 |
4. SUPPORT H Con Res 236, A RESOLUTION REASSERTING
THE POWERS OF CONGRESS |
|
Key facts: This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that any
Presidential Executive Order that infringes on the legislative powers of Congress or that
requires expenditure of Federal funds not appropriated by Congress is advisory only --
unless enacted by Congress as law.
|
|
Write, fax, or e-mail: [ ] Your Congressman; ask him to become
a co-sponsor of H Con Res 236.
|
|
|
 |
5. OPPOSE S 25 - THE McCAIN-FEINGOLD
"CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM" BILL |
|
In early August, the House passed its version of the Senate's McCain-Feingold bill
which would inject even more federal intrusion into the election process. Although Senate
opponents are working to keep it off their agenda, we should still be letting our U.S.
Senators know that we want them to oppose S 25 -- with a filibuster, if necessary.
|
|
Write, fax, or e-mail: [ ] Your U.S. Senators in strong
opposition to S 25.
