Make September 1 Impeachment Day
Thought you guys would be interested. Sorry if this is a dupe.

<snip>

MAKE SEPTEMBER 1 IMPEACHMENT DAY

Democrats.com, Progressive Democrats of America and After Downing Street encourage you to hold a vigil for impeachment on Friday evening, Sept. 1st, preceded or followed by a meeting to discuss and plan for Camp Democracy.

Enter your event into online systemHERE.

Here are resources from Camp Democracy.

You can also download and play this new 16-minute video from After Downing Street.

Here's what's happening online the same day:

Starting at noon ET on September 1, 2006, and lasting 24 hours, websites and blogs all across the internet are being asked to replace their front pages with the single word "Impeach" in simple white text on a black background. Here's an example: http://impeachnet.net

http://www.impeachnet.net/blog/about/

Visitors to those sites and blogs will be able to click and link to the sites' usual front pages. But first they will see a word that, standing alone, is as powerful as any word right now: it is banned by our political and media leadership but more popular among citizens and activists than perhaps any other. It is both shocking and welcome. For 24 hours, web surfers and blog readers will see that word first when they visit their favorite sites. In this way, we hope to get the public talking about the one tool guaranteed by the Founders to restore our Constitutional Democracy. Please encourage your favorite websites to take part in this action. If you plan to take part, please let us know here:

FROM THE IMPEACHMENT FORUMS

New Jersey Resolution to Impeach
Our campaign aims to get this resolution introduced in the fall session of the NJ Legislature. We need all the support we can get. Please spread the word wide as you can. We need money, we need tons of letters and calls to legislators, we need all the active support people can afford...

I Feel So Trapped
I wear T-shirts calling for Impeachment. I have a sign on my front porch saying: "Save Our Country IMPEACH BUSH". I am here doing my best. We tell our youth to think outside the box. Unhappily, Omaha is the box! I am going to Camp Casey III this week as token representation of my hometown. I would hope I could speak to the press and shame Omaha nationally. It would be great fun listening to our city fathers defending this gulag...
