- About me
- I'm here to IMPEACH a VERY EVIL president and vice president.
IMPEACH daily! Do something every day to help IMPEACH these criminals. On the weekend, do something bigger! We will prevail!
I walk the main street where I work at lunch with my "IMPEACH BUSH - A28.org" sign. I get a lot of support from passersby. Even the cops wave! They know these guys are criminals, they're professionals.
They attained office illegally.
They use illegal tactics with the energy conglomerates.
They started an illegal war which has now killed over a million people by some estimates.
They authorized spying on US citizens.
They authorized torture of human beings, a crime against humanity.
They repealed hebius corpus, the right to challenge detention.
They make sweetheart deals with Bechtel, Haliburton, Blackwater and many others.
They fixed elections again in 2002, 2004 and 2006.
These people and their accomplices belong in prison for a very long time.
- Interests
- IMPEACHING and PROSECUTING Bush and his co-conspirators.
When that's done, I'm going to the beach for a nice walk and will plan a vacation, but only when the job is done.

Your A28: ImpeachSpace Box
IMPORTANT:
Friends tell friends how to IMPEACH.1. Call the Capitol Switchboard at +1-202-214-3121.
2. Ask for your Congressional Representative.
3. Tell them you DEMAND IMPEACHMENT of Bush and Cheney NOW for lying to Congress and to the people of the United States to get us into war with Iraq.
4. It takes only a few minutes, so call once a week until it happens.
5. Pass it on! Copy this text and paste it into your emails.
And then, just for fun, try Dan's Drag-n-Drop Georgie and toss your troubles to the wind!
Here's what I did for A28: Beach Impeach San Francisco. I'm in the lower right leg of the letter "A" this time.
Last time I was in the straight part and just above the middle of the "P". "P" is for "PROSECUTE".

A28 Event Documentation
To all active and passive participants of A28 events:
It is VERY IMPORTANT to take photos, video and audio recordings of our A28 events and post them to either this site, youtube, and other such public access venues, AND to get the content to serious producers of documentaries for inclusion. This effort cannot just "fade away" and we need to make that happen.
So let's start brainstorming good ways to make a centralized document of our experiences on April 28th.
The first…

I heartily agree that the current squatters in the big house need to go to jail for a long long time.

They are a neat way of getting the word out. I leave them wherever I go.
IMHO we finally have a choice, not just a lesser of two evils.
Unbelievably, a second letter from a desperate soldier came to me today, from the nephew of my best friend:
Written today, this desperate letter is from Sargent Jason Walker, the nephew of some of our best friends, on his second tour in Iraq. PLEASE READ, and help get this letter out there, as he requested. Thanks if so. SEE THE LETTER BELOW.
PLEASE help publicize this letter!

Subject: Soldier in Iraq Resists the Occupation
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 07:18:58 -0700 (PDT)
>Yesterday, June 19, 26 year old SPC Eli Israel put himself at great personal risk by making the courageous decision to refuse further participation in the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Eli told his commanding officer and sergeants that he will no longer be a combatant in this illegal, unjustified war. Eli believes that the U.S. government used the attacks of September 11, 2001 as a pretense to invade Iraq and that "we are now violating the people of this country (Iraq) in ways that we would never accept on our own soil." Eli is stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad with JVB Bravo Company, 1-149 Infantry of the Kentucky Army National Guard. This soldier's decision to refuse orders puts him at great risk, especially because he is in Iraq, isolated from legal assistance and other support. The following is a message that Eli sent yesterday to a friend back home:
>"I have told them that I will no longer play a 'combat role' in this conflict or 'protect corporate representatives,' and they have taken this as 'violating a direct order.' I may be in jail or worse in the next 24 hours.
>Please rally whoever you can, call whoever you can, bring as much attention to this as you can. I have no doubt that the military will bury me and hide the whole situation if they can. I'm in big trouble. I'm in the middle of Iraq, surrounded by people who are not on my side. Please help me. Please contact whoever you can, and tell them who I am, so I don't 'disappear.'"
Eli is taking an incredible risk by refusing orders in Iraq and will
most likely be court martialed. Please help him by contacting his
Senator and requesting that he take any steps necessary to support and
protect this soldier and ensure that the Army respects his rights and
does not illegally retaliate against him.

Thanks for your efforts yesterday too.
Keep up the faith!
In the meantime, if you want our packet just give me your direct email address and I can attach it to an email to you.
I want y'all to know it's possible. You may find your own ways to do it. Just don't give up. In the 4 DAYS since we met with Rep. Yvette Clarke in DC on Tues. June 5, SHE signed on, REP. WOOLSEY signed on, and REP. LEE signed on! Probably we can't take credit for the whole thing but every effort counts and adds up!
Here is the process that culminated in our Rep. making the call to cosponsor the bill to impeach Cheney:
1 - I went to DC to see my new Rep.Yvette Clarke, sworn in the first week of 2007. Had never met her, but I hung out in her office and met her supporters, staff, campaign advisors. Went into the celebration room in the Capitol where we saw her cermonial swearing-in. I introduced myself as a constituent interested in participatory democracy. Networked. Met her scheduler.
2 - Back home, I called her scheduler, trying to set up a meeting. In late Feb. the scheduler agreed, and asked if the Rep. could come to MY home. I set up a meeting with 35 people, including 3 Christian ministers I know (I work part-time in a church and have met some liberal clergy), a couple of people who have run for local office, a couple business owners and just neighborhood folks.
3 - With just 2 other activists in my neighborhood, we had multiple weekly lobbying contacts with her office focused on the Lee bill, all the Iraq Supplemental votes, and Impeachment, esp. after H. Res. 333 came up (in the form of emails and calls).
4 - Meanwhile we periodically emailed all who had attended the Feb. meeting, apprised of our contacts with her and encouraged them to lobby her during crucial vote times. Some did.
5 - One of the ministers we kept in the loop turned out to know the Congresswoman, and was also quite concerned about the Iraq moral crisis, the constitutional crisis, and the gathering of political power almost exclusively in the Unitary Executive branch. We spoke at some length, and we set up a meeting in Washington to meet with her and her Chief of Staff.
6 - We prepared a 45-page packet for Clarke including our agenda for the meeting, letters from 5 other clergy, urging her to take the lead on peace and accountability issues, plus extensive documentation on our issues; i.e., Supplementals, Oil Benchmarks, Unitary Executive powers, and H.Res. 333 for Impeaching Cheney. (Three of us local grassroots activists had researched and prepared this packet over several months.)
7 - During the course of the meeting, Rep. Clarke authorized her Chief of Staff to notify Kucinich's office that she wanted to cosponsor H. Res. 333. The phone call was made and it was done. She listened to us and she did it!
We have plans to continue our in-district netorking with other faith-based groups and keep building on this relationship with our Representative, continuing to advocate for peace and accountability and impeachment.
We also will talk and network with folks (from liberal groups, faith-based groups or wherever we find them) in nearby districts, recruit them to do their version what we've done with their Reps, and plan to go to Washington en masse to go visit each Brooklyn Rep's office in a round-robin set of meetings in one day, advocating for peace and impeachment!
Anyone from Brooklyn who is called to get in on this kind of advocacy, please contact us. Anyone from anywhere who wants to talk to us about having already done similar actions, or wants to ask us any questions or get encouragement, please get in touch with us! We are serious about this but also have some laughs, and it is satisfying to get some results once in awhile!
What do you think, Steve?!
