I appreciated the article about the demo last Wednesday. I was also at the demo to leaflet to those courageous activists willing to stand up for peace.Here's our latest press release about the event:

Heroes Rally, Sing, and March for Impeachment and Peace

Superman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman will rally at 1:00 p.m. atLytton Plaza in Palo Alto on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 with other heroiccitizens to demand the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. During the rally,musician August Bullock will sing "Heroes of America"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYgYVcFzw9s, which inspired the theme for thismonth's rally, and the Raging Grannies will also perform.

After the music, "Heroic Citizens for Impeachment" awards will bepresented to Brad Newsham, who organized the two major "Beach Impeach"events in San Francisco, inspiring Impeachment spellings across the country;Cynthia Peterson from Code Pink, who organized vigils at Nancy Pelosi'smansion as well as rallies and marches for impeachment; Carol Wolman( http://www.impeachbush-cheney.com), who ran for Congress in 2006 on anImpeachment platform; and Don Spark from World Can't Wait, who helpedorganize major impeachment events and street actions.

At 2:00 p.m. the heroes will call for impeachment as they marchthrough downtown Palo Alto to Congresswoman Anna Eshoo's office at698 Emerson Street. The rally at Lytton Plaza, which will includeentertainment and refreshments, is open to the public.

The heroes in Palo Alto are not the only ones calling for impeachment.Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment againstVice President Cheney on April 24th. The two cosponsors are US Reps.Wm. Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Janice Schakowsky (D-IL). Congressman JohnMurtha mentioned impeachment as an option on CBS's Face the Nation:

"We need to make this president understand, Mr. President, the public has spoken. There's three ways or four ways to influence a president. One is popular opinion, the election, third is impeachment and fourth is the purse."

When Bob Schieffer pressed him on whether impeachment was a serious option on the table, Murtha responded, "I'm just saying that's one way to influence a president."

On April 28th, "the national day of impeachment" in over 125 locationsacross the country, citizens spelled out "IMPEACH" to get their messageacross to the public, the press and the Congress. Over 1500 peoplegathered on Ocean Beach in San Francisco to spell out "IMPEACH NOW!"and then "PEACE NOW!" This demonstration, dramatically visible from theair, was followed by a parade to Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco mansion foran impeachment rally. Jacob Park's website for the impeachment actionsat http://www.a28.org was overwhelmed by photos, videos, and reports ofactions from around the U.S. as well as other countries, including Italyand Egypt.

A concerted effort is underway to pressure Congress and the press torecognize and stop the criminal activities, including war, being carried outby the US government.

Congresswoman Eshoo has repeatedly rejected calls for impeachment,claiming that removing the President would tear the country apart. Brouilletand other activists intend to remind her that her oath of office requires herto defend the Constitution against all enemies, even when those whothreaten the Constitution include the President and Vice President.

Sponsors of the event include the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, The Santa Clara County Green Party, the Silicon Valley Impeachment Coalition.
