Ok - who else has a beach?
SF's Impeach at the Beach has been wildly successful. It got an encouraging amount of local, national and international press. And it also gave the media the opportunity to discuss the impeachment question. Just check out this link with a great video from the local ABC affiliate.

Good discussion of the subject, isn't it?

The organizer started with fewer than 100 people...ended up with 1200! In his blog he details how he would handle it if he had fewer people. (This helped allay my fears a little bit)

I'm wondering about Miami, for example. Super Bowl weekend is coming up. That's a lot of media in town.

But what about your beach?

2. Heck, a football...
field would do nicely -- and would make creating the letters much easier than scraping them in the sand. :)

This could happen in any community in the country.

As a member of the "M" here in San Francisco, I highly recommend others do it!

3. Agree! All you need is a big enough space.
Get those images out there, folks!

6. yeah....
like the guy in the local news video says:

(paraphrasing) We can't wait for the Dem leaders. The pressure's gotta come from us.

8. Hey! Don't forget the exclamation point!

You can't overestimate the power of a simple visual. Brad had a fantastic concept and implemented it perfectly. And, obviously, successfully.

I feel better than I have in a long, long time!

14. Yes!
I was knocked out by all the links and the impact of the image on his homepage.

Like you, I was impressed by the simple coming together of like-minded individuals of every age, ethnicity, species (loved the dogs!). I'm part of the famous boomer generation and I've had enough of this "administration". Two more years is more than I'm willing to give to these vampires.

I'm looking forward to a future in keeping with the spirit of those who spent Saturday morning on the beach.

19. Thank you, T_M!
Many people at the event asked how I'd heard of it. Of course, I told them about DU, my favorite site. Great people, great site.

13. Actually, it could be renamed
"Impeach the Leech"...then, it can be successfully done everywhere.

16. I like "Nancy, set the table" but that may be too ornate.

LTTE campaign to me.
