IMPEACH! Spell It Out April 28, 2007.

George Bush and Dick Cheney have lied the nation into a war of aggression, are spying in open violation of the law, and have sanctioned the use of torture. These are high crimes and misdemeanors that demand accountability through the Constitutional mechanism of impeachment. Since Congress doesn't seem to get it, we're calling on all Americans who stand for truth, freedom, and justice to join us on April 28 and spell it out for them: IMPEACH!

Let's put the word IMPEACH! everywhere on April 28. If you're in Miami you'll be able to voice your opinion directly to George Bush himself. If you're in San Diego you can tell Nancy Pelosi to put impeachment back on the table. And if you're in Cleveland you can give your support to Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who is considering starting the impeachment process. Here are just some of the actions people are planning. Please sign up for one of them...or start one yourself! If you don't see your community listed and want to find people in your area to team up with, post a message in the new ImpeachSpace Forum.

CALIFORNIA

Indio
Going to the Coachella music festival? E-mail ennisfree@aol.com to talk about planning A28 actions.

Los Angeles
A lot of people are talking about doing something in L.A. but we're still waiting for the big action. In the meantime, some folks are interested in hiring an ImpeachPlane to take the message to the skies. For $940 we have a pilot who will fly a giant "IMPEACH!" banner for three hours along the shore between Malibu and Dana Point. Want to see it happen? Chip in!

Long Beach
Michael is looking for people to help him spell the word “IMPEACH” out of the debris found on the beach on and around Belmont Shores in Long Beach. Drift wood, and the huge amount of debris found in Long Beach should do the job nicely. Click here for more info or to sign up.

Sacramento
Pedro has started making posters, banners and fliers to put up all over Sacramento, and is looking for people to help him get the word out. He is working on organizing a rally on A28 in front of the main entrace to the Sacramento State Capitol Building. For more info and to help out, e-mail pedromendoza7637@sbcglobal.net.

San Diego
The California Democratic Convention will be taking place in San Diego the weekend of April 28.
We intend to be there to tell Nancy Pelosi that it's time to put impeachment back "on the table."
Peter of BeachBlogger is planning a Beach Impeach human mural which you can sign up for here. There will also be an impeachment rally held across the street from the Convention Center from 4:00-6:30 PM on Saturday. Click here for more info. If you are a delegate to the Convention please check at the PDA table for information about actions inside the Convention. We will also be bringing an impeachment resolution to the convention.

San Francisco
Brad, who organized the original Beach Impeach human mural with a thousand people (click to watch the awesome video), will be doing it again on April 28--and this time he plans to make it twice as big! You can sign up here.
Code Pink will then lead a march from the beach to Nancy Pelosi's house. The rally outside her house will feature several prominent speakers and a giant Gandhi puppet.

dc@a28.org

GEORGIA
Atlanta
Mary writes "We are a small group of Alantans who will be wearing T shirts with letters spelling out IMPEACH and walking together through Piedmont Park forming a kind of human billboard. Some of us will be focused on engaging in converstion with interested parties and handing out literature (addresses for online impeachment initiatives, reasons to impeach, and quotes from conservatives supporting impeachment). We will be happy to welcome anyone who would like to join us." E-mail marypathaffey@yahoo.com.

Other local residents have expressed interest in flying the impeachment banner in the skies of Atlanta. For $780 we can get a plane to fly a giant "IMPEACH!" banner all over the city for two hours on April 28. Want to see it happen? Chip in!

MIAMI, FL
Unfortunately for Dubya, he's not going to be clearing brush on the ranch on April 28. Nope, he's actually going to be out in public. It just so happens on the day of nationwide impeachment protests Bush is scheduled to give the commencement address at Miami Dade Community College. Doh! We're preparing a special welcome committee for him. St. Pete for Peace will be providing transportation from St. Petersburg to Miami. E-mail miami@a28.org.

Come and SPELL IT OUT!!! Wear something BLUE on top --- Omaha is a "blue" holdout from the rest of the state, no?!?! It's time to outdo Lincolnites in this process." E-mail mercerbonnie@hotmail.com for more info.

There will be lots of good stuff happening in New York. Mimi, a military mom, and Amillie will be doing a Beach Impeach on the boardwalk from 1:00-2:30 PM. Military mother Elaine will be organizing major actions in Central Park and on Staten Island. Amos will be flying a plane around NYC trailing a banner reading "IMPEACH!" Jen and the

For more info about the Tompkins Sq. Park action, and to sign up to help out, please click here.

A team of mysterious guerrilla artists has also offered to create an unprecedented impeachment light show projecting images onto different buildings around New York City. The projector they use is the most powerful kind in the world (100,000 lumens) and is available for purchase only from the Chinese military. It takes an entire team of technicians to pull this off, as well as a highly specialized slide-making process due to the intense heat generated by the projector. We need to raise $2,400 to cover their costs and to make a truly spectacular statement. Can you help chip in?
