MAKING A POINT

Sunday, January 7, 2007


About 1,200 peace activists lie in the sand at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to spell out "IMPEACH!" in 100-foot letters on Saturday. The folks pictured here formed the dot of the exclamation point. Their message, referring to President Bush, was engineered by local cabbie and travel writer Brad Newsham. He recruited volunteers from around the Bay Area to form the demand that stretched across the sand. Supporters of his Beach Impeach Project photographed the event from a helicopter hovering overhead.

1. Kick! n/t

2. Pelosi best rethink her 'off the table'

[rodeodance]

3. kand REC

36. That's the plan ...

I think this is the plan.

First, you actually have to do the leg work to make sure you can make a slam dunk case fairly rapidly. In the meantime, you do not want to be calling for blood. You want to be the judicious person. So Pelosi took it off the table so she could reluctantly be "compelled" to do it later from a combination of overwhelming evidence of malfeasance and strong public demand for removing the POTUS.

Yeah, we all know the guy is guilty of a variety of crimes. But you actually do have to end up with the proverbial stained dress to actually pull the trigger.

4. That's one for the history books! God bless America, where the

U.S. Constitution was reborn! --so the children of the 22nd Century will read. Now let's make it happen. We are not torturers. We are not hangmen. We are not the slaughterers of a hundred thousand innocents. And when someone tries to remake us into his own ugly image, we rebel and we impeach!

5. Why has Yahoo made it so difficult to rate these pictures? Am I doing

something wrong? They changed this quite awhile back and I have stopped voting, because it doesn't seem to ever get counted.
Any tips?

Thanks

[Kadie]

11. I have trouble too sometimes.

It acts like it doesn't count the votes, or comes up with a page that says something can't be found. It seem to be working because the pics are now on the most rec. page at yahoo pics.

6. Ah a thing of beauty

7. When do we get to see the video?

Those choppers didn't spend all that time flying around for a few stills.

9. Cool! Done, K&R...

[NoPasaran]

12. I remember people doing this at the start of the Iraq War

It worked real well then too.

[EFerrari]

20. The solution for influencing your government isn't less activism.

:)

[tanyev]

13. Wow. How did they get such nice sharp corners on their letters?

Good job! :applause::applause:

[OffWithTheirHeads]

14. Does anyone know how to post this on Digg.com?

It needs to be there but I can't even seem to post my pics at photobucket so I don't stand a chance.

[EFerrari]

19. If you want to pm me, I can try to help with photobucket.

:hi:

[phusion]

15. Apparently they didn't carpool...

look at all those cars out there! I'll bet * and his big oil cronies are chuckling all the way to the bank.

[sce56]

16. I doubt that look at the before photos and you will see many people in groups getting ready for the

photo shoot.

[EFerrari]

18. Actually, a lot of people just walked in, some biked and some

took muni. Remember this is a tourist area so those cars don't all belong to activists. lol

[Hell Hath No Fury]

21. There were almost 1200 people there...

the parking lot right next to that area hold a couple of hundred+ cars -- I saw people who had carpooled, plus people who were pouring in from the MUNI stops. As mentioned above, this is SF's main beach, so we weren't the only ones there.

[EFerrari]

22. Yeah, there were some poor freaked out tourists looking

at the naked guy, the lady dressed as liberty and the V people.

:rofl:

26. Caption Contest

27. Nice, but temporary ...

I visited the US over X-mas and saw an awful lot of white (ie., unused) billboards along the motorways.

How hard would it be to get a group together and do some 3 a.m. painting of this and similar messages?

While the beach stunt is good, only the choir sees it. Doing the billboards would force the Amero-facists to have to face it.

[EFerrari]

30. True about temporary but it was carried statewide on local newscasts,

and on CNN. It was carried by the AP and prominently in the Sunday paper here.

I think this image is going to make the rounds. ;)

28. That's my city! =)

29. Send that to all your friends who sent you pictures of the soldiers

who painted the banner on Kerry's Iraq gaff back in November.

I will

31. Pursue and Prosecute ALL the Criminals!!

Corporate hegemony is the framework within which Bushco has co-opted our Democracy. I see a fine tension developing, especially on the level of each individual citizen of this great nation: do you continue to chase the carrot (ANYONE can get rich in America!) or do you recognize that an obsessive preoccupation with getting wealthy legitimizes and sustains those who would destroy us? Last year, many corporate CEOs made more than 400 times what their least paid employees made--see anything wrong with this picture?

[Zuiderelle]

32. Beautiful and inspiring,

even if it is an impossible dream.

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Beautiful! n/t

[Tekla West]

34. seems like we need MORE SF values, not less

ahh, my city by the bay. I am always proud of SF.

[curiousdemo]

35. Why is Bush Proxy....

The New Media is not broadcasting these pictures. These low life bastard's are profiteering off Bush war. That why they're trying to keep public dissent off Television. I hope Keith O'Man jump on these pictures and tell the people more about Bush Lies.

[EFerrari]

37. Welcome to DU, curiousdemo.

Let's go around them, and send the pix ourselves to people we know? :hi:
