Is Now The Time For A MASSIVE Impeachement Protest In DC?
I think the time is ripe. Hundreds of thousands in the streets and make it on a day when the Congress IS in Session.

1. It's been almost six months
And the momentum is clearly on our side. Maybe this time, the media might even cover it.

7. yes!
I totally agree. Sitting around here preaching to the choir is useless unless we use this space to gather our masses and go out and be heard.

4. ONLY IF the media shows up.
Otherwise, it's a waste of time and effort. Without the corporate MSM showing the rest of the country how much the rat bastard is detested, we're protesting with/to like-minded people.

6. We need nationally organized, but local protests...
We need to tell it to our legislators, senators, mayors and governors.... and let it trickle up.

Most of us just cannot make a trip to DC.

11. Forget impeachment. If Congress hasn't acted by now, they won't.
Demand Bush and Cheney's resignation and the resignations of their cabinet. This is what we need to demand. As far as I'm concerned we should demand resignations from the Bush enablers in Congress and the Pentagon as well.

12. WCW is growing at the local level
and encouraging local protests.

I think the best time for a DC protest is when the weather is good and people have a lot of advance notice. A lot of protesters are older and after a certain age its not that easy to stay outside with out food or a bathroom or a place to rest- at least not in inclement weather. September was perfect last year in terms of weather.

Of course we have to work around juniors long vacations...

15. YES! We must STOP everything and demand that the entire admin resign!
We cannot wait for impeachment here in New Orleans. Hurricane season will be upon us before then. :hide:

16. Did you know there is an anti-war march in NYC on April 29th?
I don't think I have seen it mentioned here and hope people will start making their plans now to attend. United for Peace, Code Pink, the Rainbow Coalition and other organizations are heading the organization. Answer is not involved.
