Anti-war, pro-impeachment demo, Monday 7/23, 5-7 pm

I received this notice with a request to "circulate widely", so here it is:

Sick and tired of the war, the White House war-mongers, and fed up with a Congressional "opposition" that refuses to take these war-criminals down (via impeachment), even when a majority of Americans want them to?!

Please join the Davis Square End the War Committee in Somerville, in the heart of Davis Square, Monday July 23rd for a rush-hour rally /"Honk-Out" as we demand that Congress:

"Impeach the War Criminals and End the War, Now!"

Monday, July 23rd.
approximately 5-7pm (or until the end of rush-hour)
in the heart of Davis Square, accross from the Somerville Theatre


Bring noisemakers, wear orange (for impeachment!), and make signs calling for passing traffic to "Honk to Impeach Dick Cheney!" "Honk to Overthrow King George!" and "Honk to End the War Now!" Let's show the local media, the politicians, and community at large how Bostonians feel about impeachment and the war! (We will also be distributing literature and gathering support for impeachment and the anti-war movement from locals in the area during the rally.)

In light of the growing public support for impeaching George W. Bush (recent polls show 45% in favor), and Dick Cheney (same poll shows 54%--a majority!--in favor), and the general collapse of public support for the ongoing criminal US war and occupation of Iraq, we believe that it's well-past time for some hell-razing, as well as some local outreach to get more people actively involved in the movement to impeach Cheney and Bush, to end the war in Iraq, as well as to prevent a US attack on Iran in the 18 months ahead. Positive (anti-war, anti-Bush) poll numbers are not enough! We need to activate and organize our communities against these war riminals...before they get the chance to act again.

(For more on the _still_ looming Cheney-led U.S. conspiracy to attack Iran, see www.antiwar.com.)

Our Davis Square "Honk-Out" is further scheduled to coincide with Cindy Sheehan's recently announced deadline for Rep. Nancy Pelosi to come out for impeachment, or else face Sheehan in her district's Congressional election. Sheehan and other anti-war activists will be holding a Washington D.C. sit-in while we rally in Somerville. Let's help the movement for Impeachment to get maximum exposure!

(Visit www.afterdowningstreet.org for more informaiton on Cindy Sheehan's July 23rd action.)

See you in the Square,

I think the plaza is big enough that the demonstration won't spill into the streets.

I'm thinking of the noise - it sounds like that protest will be really obnoxious to the people who live in the Square.

eh, it's not usually quiet in the area from 5-7 anyway.

Maybe it will be so loud that people will hear them all the way in Washington!!
