march in october

we received the following email reminding us of the "impeach awol" march tomorrow:

tomorrow, saturday, october 27, tens of thousands of people nationwide will take to the streets demanding impeachment and an end to the war. impeachbush members are mobilizing nationwide to take part in these actions. the call for impeachment is being heard coast to coast. congress is unable to hide from this constitutional requirement being demanded by their constituencies.

we are hitting the streets again on october 27 as mass actions sweep this country in mass regional demonstrations in san francisco, los angeles, new york, chicago, seattle, boston, orlando and ft. lauderdale, fl., chattanooga, new orleans, salt lake city, philadelphia, jonesboro, and others. to see the exact locations and times for the various demonstrations, go to the impeachbush homepage.

impeachbush is mobilizing buses, printing posters, placards, banners and leaflets for october 27. please join us on saturday and let the message of impeachment appear in the streets from one end of the country to the other. if you cannot come, but would like to make a donation to help others participate in the demonstrations demanding an end to the war and the impeachment of bush and cheney, you can do so by clicking this link.

Hey Skippy, Cookie Jill. I posted pics from the Chicago rally and march here.

SF event was unfocused, very disappointing. Lots of interest groups, none of whom made the Iraq war their first priority, none of whom advocated impeachment at all.

There was a small contingent of IVAW that I walked nearby, they were quiet for the most part and very focused. They didn't have the bullhorns or the banners but they had a mock tank they were using. I did actually enjoy some parts of the event, and was able to sign a petition for Ehren Wahtada, among other things. I shouldn't be too hard, maybe I should just see it from another light.
