Support for impeachment growing...in new places

The people have spoken, but Congress has failed to answer. When push came to shove, the Democratic party establishment decided to fund the war effort without condition. Their decision is in direct contradiction with the majority of the country, which is against the war and the Bush administration by a large and ever-growing margin. But rather than be turned away, that majority has decidedly stepped up to the plate. Just over the last month, the impeachment movement and antiwar movement have expanded their organizing efforts and increased their visibility.


A veteran of the Afghanistan war speaks out against Bush in New London on May 23
On May 23, Bush was the featured speaker at the commencement ceremony of the Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. In response the people of New London and surrounding areas came out in force, displaying impeachment and anti-war signs and banners directly outside the Academy. Local police and members of the press estimated that 1,000 protesters came out -- a remarkable number considering the fact that the protest took place on a Wednesday morning, and that New London hasn't been home to any such protests since the 1980s.

Three days later, Dick Cheney arrived in West Point, NY to speak at the Military Academy there. He received a similar welcome, with impeachment and anti-war activists and volunteers filling the street to the Academy's entrance. Both these protests were supported by ImpeachBush.org, along with dozens of other progressive and anti-war organizations. This is an important stage in the development of the impeachment and anti-war movements. Big national protests are important displays of unity and strength, but our success requires that the impeachment message be felt not only in the big cities, but in every neighborhood across the country.


Yesterday the New York Times ran the picture above of a member of the North Shore Women for Peace, after a demonstration in Highland Park, Ill.
Yesterday the New York Times ran an article "Some Hitherto Staunch G.O.P. Voters Souring on Iraq," which revealed the increasing resentment for the war in the areas previously considered Republican heartlands. The article also interviewed members of the North Shore Women for Peace, an organization in Highland Park, Illinois, which has opposed the war from the beginning, but now "more passionately than ever. According to the Times, the group "had never gone so far as the call for Mr. Bush's impeachment -- until recently. Now they carry yellow signs with black letters that say 'Impeach.'"

These activities are becoming increasingly popular. The Times reported that when the North Shore Women for Peace initially staged protests "in the breezeway of a high-end strip mall in nearby Highland Park... they drew sneers, expletives, and many thumbs down.

"By 2005, members said, they had found a more neutral audience, given to stares but little else. Recently, people smiled in support, honked their car horns and volunteered to join the cause at a peace rally.

"'Anything I can sign?' asked one shopper, Lynne Black, a retiree from Wilmette. 'I feel desperation at this point.'"

Our movement must and will continue to reach people just like Lynne Black, to let them know that yes, there is something you can sign: an impeachment petition. And this is exactly what we've been doing. Due to the recent flurry of impeachment activities, including the ImpeachBush.org ad in the Hartford Courant which reached over 200,000 readers and received tremendous support, over 25,000 additional people have signed the petition to impeach Bush in the last several weeks.
