“Fear has run our lives since this administration came to power. To me, that’s not a way to live,” said Fay Gougakis, at the impeachment rally she organized on the Commons on Saturday.

Gougakis, a local activist for many years, has a history of protesting policies of the Bush Administration. Prior to organizing Saturday’s rally, she participated in two inauguration day protests and has supported both anti-nuclear and women’s rights movements.

The rally was part of a nationwide event known as A28, which called for the impeachment of the Bush administration because Bush and Cheney “have lied the nation into a war of aggression, are spying in open violation of the law, and have sanctioned the use of torture. These are high crimes and misdemeanors that demand accountability through the Constitutional mechanism of impeachment,” according to the event’s website. ~snip~
