 Local organizations have planned over 70 Out of Iraq events around the 
 country on or about January 7th. (See list at bottom.) Most of the events 
 are town hall forums, and several will feature members of Congress, 
 including Bobby Scott, Diane Watson, Jim McDermott, Adam Smith, Bob Filner, 
 Martin Sabo, Jim Moran, Marty Meehan, and John Murtha. Several other events 
 will feature congressional staff, congressional and senatorial candidates, 
 local elected officials, and leaders of the peace movement, including Gold 
 Star Families for Peace founder Cindy Sheehan, and After Downing Street 
 Co-Founder John Bonifaz.  While all of these events will focus on ending 
 the war, many of them will also address Congressman John Conyers' new 
 resolutions to censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney and to 
 create a select committee to investigate and make recommendations on 
 impeachment.   Tim Carpenter, Director of Progressive Democrats of America 
 and Co-Founder of After Downing Street, said: "Progressive Democrats of 
 America is proud to be working with grassroots organizations across the 
 country to mobilize and organize a broad-based coalition to call for an end 
 to the Occupation of Iraq and demand action from Congress to investigate 
 the lies of the Bush administration and their conduct regarding the Iraq 
 War."   The events are listed at the bottom of this release, and can be 
 found at  http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/event  National Call-In Day on 
 Accountability Planned for January 9th  Tens of thousands of members of 
 Progressive Democrats of America and other organizational members of the 
 After Downing Street Coalition will phone Members of Congress in their 
 district offices on January 9, urging them to cosponsor three bills: 
 H.Res.635 to create a select committee to investigate and to make 
 recommendations on grounds for impeachment, H.Res.636 to censure Bush, and 
 H.Res.637 to censure Cheney.  More about these bills:

 Commission Taking "Indictments" to White House January 9th  On January 9, 
 the International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity By the 
 Bush Administration will serve indictments on the White House for its wars 
 in Iraq and Afghanistan, its actions and policies on torture and illegal 
 detention, its promotion of abstinence-only in the midst of the HIV/AIDS 
 pandemic, its fueling of global warming, and its response to Hurricane 
 Katrina. This is in preparation for its January 20-22 hearings at Riverside 
 Church and Columbia Law School in New York City (where the Administration 
 will be invited to present a defense). See http://www.bushcommission.org
