New Beach Impeach Video has a host + more impeachment info
1. Last night, I got this update from Brad about Jamie's video + other impeachment work. If you are only wanting the link to the video, here you go:

"If you forward this email (and please do), your people may appreciate knowing that much of this footage was taken at the "Beach Impeach" event in San Francisco on January 6, 2007.

This was in Nancy Pelosi's district, just two days after Pelosi became Speaker of the US House of Representatives. One thousand people of all ages lay down in the sand at Ocean Beach, arranged in 100-foot letters spelling out the message "IMPEACH!", while helicopters circled overhead.

The organizers of that event are organizing "Bodies Count", an attempt to recreate the beach event at 100 sites across the country (around the world?) on Saturday, April 28, 2007, with 1,000 people at each site. At a summit in NYC ten days ago, 25 national impeachment groups designated April 28 as "A Day of Nationwide Protest Demanding Impeachment".

For more information:

www.impeach07.org
www.a28.org


IMPORTANT NOTE: Last weekend Youtube took this video down 48 hours after it was posted. It was just starting to go viral (500 views overnight) when youtube yanked it, citing "inappropriate" content. We're hoping nothing like that will happen again. If it moves you, please forward it far and wide. A few minutes ago (at 9 pm on Tuesday, Feb 27) it had only three views at its new location.

Thank you,

brad

2. April 28: A Day of Nationwide Protest Demanding Impeachment. What can we do in our communities? Let's brainstrom this and make it happen.

3. The San Francisco group's cafepress store is up. I have to laugh because I'm so out of my league. But, check it out if you want to: http://www.cafepress.com/sfimpeachnow

If you know of any really angry liberals in the San Francisco Bay area, please send them over to us. We need 'em! We build this movement one by one by one. Our first meeting :is Sunday, Java Beach Cafe, 11 a.m. :hi

4. I wish I could join you in SF
In the meantime, in another thread you had said something to the effect of wanting new ideas for protesting, etc. If that's the case here's a couple of ideas I had a while ago for street theater:

101st Fighting Keyboardists: everyone dresses in camo, carries a slung keyboard, and has signs that parody the chickenhawks' excuses for not enlisting, such as :

"I've got a job to do, that's why I didn't enlist!"
"I'll enlist next time! Promise!"
"I make too much money to go to Iraq"
Etc. Use this to take the chance to poke some fun at the chickenhawks.

The Marching Morans: Everyone dressed like the moran - t-shirt, preferably with some kind of hostile rightwing slogan, etc. Carry signs with freeperisms, such as:

"Lieburals are stoopid and cazy!"
"Go back to Paul Pot"
"Liebural ideas are stickily lies"
"Lieburals cast asparagus at America"
"Liebural commys like dick taters"
Etc. Hard not to have fun poking fun at the freepers!

Anyway, good luck with the protest. Maybe someone is doing something nearby me.
