East Fishkill Democratic Committee

Rene Colucci passed this info along far all who may be interested.

First
I found in on michaelmoore.com, that in October, the antiwar group Iraq Veterans Against War, which spoke to the Armed Services Commitee about offenses they committed in Iraq, dubbed the Winter Solider campaign, will be doing a similar operation, the ( this is not imaginative ) N.East.. Winter Soldier, starting the 4th of that month. Its in Rochester. If anyone at EFD knows anyone who may be interested, details are at http://rochesterturning.com/2008/07/28/whats-goin-on-t-roundup-71808 Much of the info here is preliminary.
It may change. 

Also
the DNC Convention, from August 24-28, is nearing. While its unlikely, if anyone is interested in making plans, or informing others about the event, the address is: 
http://realdemocracy2008.org. I don`t know who, or if anyone still lives in my area, but if they might enjoy that.

One more thing:
there is also a grassroots groups called AskNadler2Impeach.org
I don`t know what EFD`s position is on the impeachment matter, but they have been trying to convince Rep. Jerrold Nadler D-NY 8th, to formally endorse impeachment hearings for Pres. Bush and Vice P. Cheney. They have attempted to run a primary challenger against Nadler, on the base grounds of a Cal. primary who succeded in “scaring” a Dem opposed to voting in favor of mpeachment hearings. Well, the AskNadler candidate, Adam Sullivan, failed to qualify, due to  tech. electoral glich, but for non-related purposes Nadler seemed to drop his personal opposition at  the “sorta” impeachment hearing in the HJC last Friday, on the 24. They have been gaining but still need some help. 

If anyone`s interested in them, a signable petition is on their site homepage, AskNadler2Impeach.org, and they can contact Bernadette Evangelist, one of the members, at sleet15@nyc.rr.com
or Jim McCabe, at mccabe_jim@hotmail.com. Most agree its too late for full impeachment but at the least the House alone, should consider a formal inquiry. If there`s a problem, please RE before Fri. Thanks.
