Tens of thousands of people will unite on March 17 at the Pentagon against the war and to demand the Impeachment of George W. Bush and other high officials.
Permits have been secured for this historic demonstration which Ramsey Clark will help lead. March 17 is the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal war in Iraq. 2007 is also the 40th anniversary of the 1967 March on the Pentagon.
It took five long months to secure the right of the people to march against the war and in support of impeachment. Many told us that a permit at the Pentagon would be impossible. But because of a protracted political and legal struggle we have won this major free speech victory. Bush may not want us there, but we will not be deterred. The whole world will be watching that day.
Impeachment supporters are getting on buses, trains and planes to come to Washington. This is a united effort between the impeachment movement and many anti-war and social justice organizations. In fact, there are hundreds of organizations that are working together to bring people to Washington. You can find out about a transportation center nearest you by going to MarchOnPentagon.org. There are now nearly 100 transportation centers coming from cities up and down the East Coast, New
Today's New York Times carries the full page ad calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush (Jan. 12, 2007). Congratulations to all members of ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org who helped place this New York Times ad. This is the third full-page impeachment ad to run in the New York Times. With everyone's support, we have also placed ads in the San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, USA Today, and other newspapers around the country.
The timing for the ad is excellent. Coming 36 hours after Bush brazenly announced an expansion of his criminal war and occupation in Iraq, the country is seething with anger. Because Bush remains in office, thus far escaping impeachment, thousands more Iraqis and U.S. soldiers will be killed and wounded in a war that should never have happened.
We want to seize the momentum and place the ad in various other newspapers. We will also be having a major impeachment contingent on March 17, the 4th anniversary of the war in Iraq, at the March on the Pentagon in Washington DC. We can place more ads and organize the nationwide grassroots campaign, including this contingent, with everyone's continued support and commitment to ImpeachBush.org. If you can help, click here.
The danger that Bush poses is extreme. His speech of Wednesday night, directly in opposition to the wishes of the American people, not only announced his plan to deepen the war in Iraq, but made clear his direct threat to attack Syria and Iran. Impeachment is imperative. Congress must act before more and more are killed and before Bush's war spreads into other countries. We cannot wait two more years.
The coming months are critical for the impeachment movement. Not only do 70% of the people oppose Bush's expansion of the Iraq war, the so-called "surge," the majority believe that Bush should be impeached if he lied about the reasons for the Iraq war, or if he engaged in illegal wiretapping. He did both. This is a people's movement and everyone's help is needed. As ImpeachBush.org has stated, "The Constitution cannot defend itself. The people must act."
If every member and supporter of the impeachment movement made a donation, this ad could be placed in newspapers across the country. If you have contributed before, consider making another donation now. If you have never donated this is the time to take action. Please donate today by clicking here.
Your work and support has taken the Impeachment movement to a significant moment in U.S. politics. People throughout the United States are now openly and frequently discussing the possibility of impeachment and urging their Congressional representatives to take the right step. The letters to the editor and full page ads that you have worked to place have forced the mass media to acknowledge that impeachment is a real issue for this President. Check your email in the coming days for announcements of the next steps and actions, and be sure to get as many as you can to sign the referendum and get involved.
Bush will soon complete his theft of the Iraqi oil. He just needs a little more time, and the "surge" will give him that time. I'm giving this as an explanation, not a justification, for his crimes. From his point of view, the war is a resounding success, not a disastrous atrocity. Here are three recent articles about this:
Met Jim Hightower in Nashville a while back and he is a very nice guy. But it seems he has a ways to go against the right wing absolutes (Nuts that is). Read his article with audio - click site below ~Boots
