Sonoma Locals Stand for Impeachment
By Dave Henderson

We were some 12 witnesses for Impeachment. Two large signs "book-ended" the impeachment “banner” – spelling signs: "AMERICA SAYS:" and "TELL CONGRESS.”

In between were the letters signs I-M-P-E-A-C-H-!, each letter in a different individual style, with special mention going to Pat Spicer's impressive initial "I" to Will Shonbrun's exquisitely American "C".


Other valiant brandishers included Audrey von Hawley, George Holmes, Shirley Clark, Greg Montgomery, Jim McFadden, Mattie Rudinow, Dave Henderson, Jim Syfer, Bob Hauser, and Sue Benson. We were very pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic reception: fully *300* honks, V-signs, waves, and shouts in the1-hour period! Amazing. And very few contrary, ah, gestures. America, folks, is ready for Impeachment -- and, mind you, many of these were tourists, at 10-11am on Highway 12, not the notoriously left- leaning, knee-jerk liberal Sonoma locals.

So what we found out is that America is READY FOR IMPEACHMENT!

Blogger's note: April 28 was I-M-P-E-A-C-H day across the nation. Newspapers and the WEB report the day a success as many cities and towns turned out to demonstrate for impeachment. Interestingly neither local Sonoma newspapers published one word about the Plaza Impeach demonstration. Once again our local press failed to cover a news event of significant interest – not even a photograph. Is this censorship or laziness?

Representative and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich introduced House Resolution 333 to impeach Vice President Cheney on April 24. Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), a House Democratic leader raised the possibility of impeaching Bush on Sunday’s Meet the Press and in an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered, where he said that impeachment is “on the table.”

Here’s what you can do to further this cause – the remedy specified in the U.S. Constitution for the “high crimes and misdemeanors” perpetrated by the Bush administration.

Sign petitions to your representatives at: http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/73
and to every Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, which must be persuaded to hold hearings

Honk to Impeach Every week, get a group of activists to gather with signs reading:
"Honk to Impeach / Bush and Cheney"
"Call Rep. X / 123-457-7890"
Choose a busy intersection, preferably in front of your Congress Member's local office, or in front of a your local TV, radio, or newspaper office. We recommend Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. during rush hour, but your group should decide what works best. You'll be amazed by the positive response you get!
Also bring copies of our petition:

You can collect signatures from pedestrians, drivers after they park, shoppers and workers entering businesses, or drivers at long red lights in safe intersections.
