Day 5 - Invite your Congressman / Senator!

Five more days to go until Judge Hinson's last day, Wednesday, September 30. I'm encouraging any victims of Judge Hinson, or anyone who cares about Justice, to come to the Yavapai County Courthouse in Prescott that day around lunch time to tell your story, to let your voice be heard. To exchange notes and perhaps come together in a class action Federal lawsuit.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that we ought to invite our elected representatives too.

You see, impeachment starts in the House. If there's going to be any move to impeach Judge Hinson, it has to start there. Probably in the House Judiciary Committee. Unfortunately for us, there aren't any District 1 members in that Committee. Still, we should invite Reps Mason and Tobin. If they see enough interest, they can pass it on to their colleagues in the House Judiciary Committee to start the process. But ultimately, a majority of the House members would have to vote for impeachment, so the more Representatives who show up and see your angst, the better.

From the House, articles of impeachment go to the Senate. As with the House, I presume the Senate Judiciary Committee would get first crack at it. And again, there is no District 1 member in the Senate's Committee. But still, you should invite Senator Pierce as well as other State Senators, since, ultimately, a majority of the Senate would have to vote to impeach.

Now, I'm only one person and time is short. And District 1 is VERY large, so you will have to squeak loudly to get some grease. Please contact your Representative or Senator (or forward the link to this post) asking them to hear you out on Judge Hinson's last day. Tell them there may be some press coverage too. There certainly will be if they show up. (Please leave me a comment if you get a firm confirmation from a representative. Or if you're a Representative or Senator, I can virtually guarantee you Press coverage!)
