Get Up, Stand Up! - Impeachment is "Smart" for America. . . and Democrats (here's why)

From the PDF flyer Talking Impeachment is a Foreign Land (the DC beltway)

. . .
Impeachment is Best for Democrats:

The party’s historical "weakness" is what got us into this mess.
It pervades the electorate’s view on all other issues. A display
of resolve now could erase decades of damage.
Impeachment forces a comprehensive "up or down vote."
It can force Republicans to go on record defending the worst
of the recent past with the maximum public attention.
The polls show independents’ support for impeachment
to be high. Now is the time to lock in that swing vote for
the foreseeable future.

. . .

Members of Congress have a moral obligation to impeach. That is, and always will be, the bottom line. But they have been so hung up on their baseless belief that impeachment is "certain" political suicide that they have been deaf to the moral case. The truth is that impeachment shouldn't actually require much "courage." Impeaching is not just the right thing to do, impeaching Bush and Cheney for torture is a BIG WINNER It's not just about telling Conyers why impeachment is the Best and Smartest political move he can make. We need to combat the fears too.

If Conyers is really "on the edge;" if he is actually looking for reasons that impeachment is Smart, then the points in the Talking Impeachment flyer should help you "close the deal." (Print the flyer double-sided and fold to make yourself and your fellow impeachment lobbyists a handy quick reference.)
