Capacity Crowds at Downing Street Forums Call for Impeachment

Hundreds of people were turned away as capacity crowds packed public forums in U.S. cities to discuss the Downing Street Memo and related evidence that President Bush lied about the reasons for war. Halls were filled to capacity and beyond in LA, Oakland, Seattle, Detroit, Northampton, New York and elsewhere for events led by Congress members Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Jim McDermott, John Conyers and Maurice Hinchey.

Several hundred people had to be turned away from Rep. Barbara Lee’s town hall at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, where the crowd was bursting with enthusiasm. The forum was broadcast on KPOO 89.5 FM.

“Dozens of people spoke Saturday,” the Argus reported, “many using the opportunity to voice their opposition to the Iraq War and the USA PATRIOT Act — a second version of which just passed the House of Representatives — and to vent still-simmering frustrations about the outcome of the 2000 presidential election and how many feel mainstream Democratic lawmakers have abandoned them and their causes.”

How many co-sponsors does Barbara Lee's Resolution of Inquiry have so far?

4. From your link...

"C-Span, meanwhile, chose not to cover any of the events, not because the lineup of speakers was not impressive, but – according to their reply to one activist – because they choose not to cover events if too many people ask them to do so."

So, they can spend I-don't-know-how-many-hours covering the friggin' Young American Foundation Conference (aka "Hatefest 2005") but can't be bothered to cover the Downing Street Forums? WTF?

5. C-Span coverage

"...they choose not to cover events if too many people ask them to do so."

Sounds like bullshit to me. More like they choose not cover events that show just how enamored the american people are with their dear leader.
