Impeachment Town Hall Meeting

Start: Sep 4 2006 - 1:00pm
End: Sep 4 2006 - 5:00pm
Event Description:


Tired of high crimes & misdemeanors in the White House, but don't know what to do about them?
On Labor Day, Sep. 4, join us for an
IMPEACHMENT TOWN HALL MEETING
with special guest and keynote speaker
ANN WRIGHT
Learn how to support the US Constitution
and achieve (non-violent, of course) regime change here in the US.
Ann Wright is a veteran and former diplomat who resigned from the US State Department because of our invasion of Iraq. She's a great speaker and very familiar with the lies leading up to the US invasion of Iraq and other impeachable offenses.

This is a non-partisan event. The emphasis will be on the impeachable offenses committed by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, how to talk with people about those offenses in a way that will help them understand the necessity for impeachment, and what we as citizens can and should do about it. The goal is NOT to promote or bash a particular political party.

It will be in the Activity Building of the Resurrection Metropolitan Commmunity Church, where we had Cindy Sheehan's visit with the Bring Them Home Now Tour last year.

Protect the Constitution. Restore American values. Stop the lying, spying, and torture.

The program is still being worked out, so check back later for details. Besides words from Ann Wright and some others, we plan to show some videos related to impeachment, and hope to have a workshop on how to talk with your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about impeachment from a postive point of view -- standing up for values we can all relate to, including supporting the Constitution, against torture, etc.

There is much at stake, and we need you to help save our democracy.

Note that this is Labor Day, a holiday for most of you. After celebrating the gains we've made in this country because of organized labor, let's do some organizing to make sure our children and grandchildren can enjoy the benefits we've had from living in the US. As citizens in a democracy, let's try to preserve what's left of it for them.
Tables & Literature

Progressive organizations are welcome to set up tables and/or to distribute literature to promote upcoming events and activities.

If you see counter-demonstrators, remember that we are people of peace, even if they do not understand what our government is doing to us and to the rest of the world. Do not engage counter-demonstrators if they want to argue. Smile and be friendly.
