It's Kucinich Tuesday at terryfaceplace

Rep Dennis Kucinich announced impeachment charges against Cheney today, and the resolution and documents are available on his website now.

I'd model my impeach shirt, but it's in the laundry.

Congressman Kucinich will be at the California State Democratic Convention in San Diego this weekend, and I know that his supporters here have a busy weekend planned.

From Jeeni Criscenzo:

The California Democratic Party Convention is coming to San Diego next weekend, April 27 - 29. I'm wearing four hats for this event - as a delegate, as VP of our North County PDA chapter, as the Southern California Coordinator for the Kucinich for President Campaign and as an activist for peace & justice! Here are a few of the highlights of things happening here in San Diego around this Convention. Please join me in as many as you can.
