Dear Speaker Pelosi - The people have spoken:

For immediate release:

1,000 PEOPLE SPELL OUT "IMPEACH!" IN PELOSI'S DISTRICT

CONTACT: Brad Newsham, 415/305-8294, [e-mail]

January 6, 2007 -- Over 1000 people gathered in Nancy Pelosi's district, on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, to spell out the message "IMPEACH!" "America is a great country," said event organizer Brad Newsham, a local cab driver and author. "But President Bush has betrayed our faith. He mislead us into a disastrous war, and is trampling on our Constitution. He has to go. Now. I hope Nancy Pelosi is listening today."

A majority of Americans share Newsham's sentiments. A 2006 Zogby poll found that 52% of Americans agreed with the statement: "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment?"

2. how great is that, now maybe we should have the Good Year

balloon displaying that word and go to DC that would get everyone's attention.

[Bluzmann57]

3. Fabulous!

Those folks have got it together. Congrats to all of them and I echo their message; IMPEACH!

[walldude]

4. SWEET!!! I heard Du'er sfexpat2000 was going to be there..

I wonder what letter he/she is in...

[EFerrari]

5. Top LEFT of the H. Four other DUers where in C, M,

the exclamation point and one undisclosed location.

It was awesome. :)

[walldude]

12. Oh man I wish I could have been there...

Thumbs up! Driving home today I saw a big open field covered in snow. I may just have to go out there tommorow and write Impeach Bush in the snow.

[EFerrari]

14. Maybe it will go viral. Wish we could do that every week.

20. Okay, were you on the video

and were you interviewed? On the news cast, they said the head of the republican party in that district said that if this was what the democrats were going to do, they were not ready to lead and maybe they should not be in control of the congress. What a dummy.

[EFerrari]

22. I wasn't interviewed. And saw that. That Republic means,

Dems aren't ready to do better security than Bush did on 9/11? Or, better than he's doing in Iraq? Or?

Morans.

[EFerrari]

17. It was such a pleasure! So, what are we doing next week?

:hug:

:evilgrin:

[me b zola]

26. Hey, come on up north a bit to Portland...we'll find something to get into!

I have come to the conclusion that arial shots of big actions are the way to go to get press. Otherwise, the press releases photos that don't show the truth behind the action, like some of the huge protest marches that have occured.

I very much love what you-all did! :hug:

[EFerrari]

30. Good point about the aerial shots.

That way they can't show three people at a weird angle as they usually do.

[pinto]

15. It made the front page, Second Section (Bay Area), of today's SF Chronicle. n/t

Hi sfexpat2000! :hi:

[EFerrari]

21. Hi there! I figured out that I'm a blur at the top of the Chron photo!

For a while, I thought aliens had abducted me. :silly:

We are both in this one. Somewhere. :hi:

[spiderpig]

25. Yup, that's me on the right edge -

- as you're looking at the pic. See the guy in red near the bottom of the !? I'm on the outside next to him. My friends are on the other edge (light blue jacket and behind).

Next event, I'll be looking for you!

[John Q. Citizen]

34. sfexpat, Our local news in Missoula ran you guys last night toward the

end of the news cast.

It was really cool because I read about it being planned on Friday here at DU and then there you all were on the TV.

So I know it really happened!

[EFerrari]

36. Cool! That's great to hear.

;)

[reprehensor]

19. SWEET!

Now about that 2/3 in the senate...

[EFerrari]

[spiderpig]

29. Hi WBAS...

If you get a chance to participate in something similar - DO IT!

You meet cool people and you just feel good.

I just have to tell myself better times are coming. I have to believe that.

Peace!:hi:

[WiseButAngrySara]

32. I hope to do so! And better times are coming!

Peace back at 'ya and to the world! Thank you for your participation....

:hi:

[Irishonly]

33. WOW

:applause:

[walldude]

35. This was really brilliant... the pictures are spreading all over the net

and it's being picked up by the media. You could have gathered 10 times as many people in D.C. and not gotten this much attention. Bravo! :woohoo:

[mzmolly]

37. Wow.

:toast: to the good patriots!

[Cruzan]

38. Is there an all naked chicks version?

Or is that something else?

[EFerrari]

39. Have you ever been out to Ocean Beach on a January morning?

:silly:

That would be something else.

[Cruzan]

45. Nope, but there was a naked chick protest on Drake's beach in

Marin, CA in January '03:



So it looks like it could've been done.

Here's another good one (on a Marin hillside also in January):
