An impeachment activist from Hawaii has requested the help of people here in getting the Hawaiian legislature to consider an impeachment resolution. If it passes, it will force the US Congress to consider impeachment. We need to contact Hawaiian senators Clayton Hee and Kokubun before this Friday. The email does not include their contact information, but I'm sure it can easily be found through Google or any search engine. This was sent over the GRIM listserve, so I assume it can be publicly posted (let me know otherwise and I will edit out whatever needs to be confidential).
