1,000 PEOPLE SPELL OUT "IMPEACH!" IN PELOSI'S DISTRICT
Dear Speaker Pelosi - The people have spoken:


For immediate release:

1,000 PEOPLE SPELL OUT "IMPEACH!" IN PELOSI'S DISTRICT


CONTACT: Brad Newsham, 415/305-8294, [email protected]

PHOTOS: http://beachimpeach.com/photos.shtml

January 6, 2007 -- Over 1000 people gathered in Nancy Pelosi's district, on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, to spell out the message "IMPEACH!" "America is a great country," said event organizer Brad Newsham, a local cab driver and author. "But President Bush has betrayed our faith. He mislead us into a disastrous war, and is trampling on our Constitution. He has to go. Now. I hope Nancy Pelosi is listening today."

A majority of Americans share Newsham's sentiments. A 2006 Zogby poll found that 52% of Americans agreed with the statement: "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment?"

Thumbs up! Driving home today I saw a big open field covered in snow. I may just have to go out there tommorow and write Impeach Bush in the snow.

20. Okay, were you on the video
and were you interviewed? On the news cast, they said the head of the republican party in that district said that if this was what the democrats were going to do, they were not ready to lead and maybe they should not be in control of the congress. What a dummy.

22. I wasn't interviewed. And saw that. That Republic means,
Dems aren't ready to do better security than Bush did on 9/11? Or, better than he's doing in Iraq? Or?

Morans.

26. Hey, come on up north a bit to Portland...we'll find something to get into!
I have come to the conclusion that arial shots of big actions are the way to go to get press. Otherwise, the press releases photos that don't show the truth behind the action, like some of the huge protest marches that have occured.

I very much love what you-all did! :hug:

30. Good point about the aerial shots.
That way they can't show three people at a weird angle as they usually do.

25. Yup, that's me on the right edge -

Next event, I'll be looking for you!

34. sfexpat, Our local news in Missoula ran you guys last night toward the
end of the news cast.

It was really cool because I read about it being planned on Friday here at DU and then there you all were on the TV.

So I know it really happened!

35. This was really brilliant... the pictures are spreading all over the net
and it's being picked up by the media. You could have gathered 10 times as many people in D.C. and not gotten this much attention. Bravo! :woohoo:

45. Nope, but there was a naked chick protest on Drake's beach in
Marin, CA in January '03:



So it looks like it could've been done.

Here's another good one (on a Marin hillside also in January):
