[IMC-Newsletter] Amended News Release on Teach-In on Impeachment

[A weekly newsletter of progressive events and outreach in the greater Binghamton area.]

 Congressman Maurice Hinchey has agreed to be a
panelist on the Teach-in on Impeachment.  The reason
this is such good news is that this will make the
event much more balanced and exciting, since Hinchey
opposes impeachment for tactical reasons and the other
panelists do not.  The amended news release below
reflects this change.  If you who are receiving this
message are either with the media or have access to
it, please help promote this historic event by using
