IMPORTANT UPDATE on Impeach Jay Bybee Campaign

Hi, I wanted to give you a very quick update on our efforts to persuade Congress to begin impeachment hearings against torture architect and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jay Bybee.

In less than 48 hours, our campaign has attracted over 10,000 supporters. Those petitions are being delivered to the House Judiciary Committee. And members of Congress are certainly taking notice.

Please forward this email to your friends and ask them to join our campaign:

Yesterday, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) called us to let us know that she believes impeachment hearings are the "proper response." Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) told The Huffington Post, "He ought to be impeached."

And on the Senate side, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said we have to "look at" impeaching Bybee. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) called on Bybee to resign, while Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) said "grounds for impeachment can be made" against the Judge.

We will continue to urge members of Congress to begin impeachment hearings against Jay Bybee. Thanks for all your support!

Sincerely,
