Protestors Want Bush Impeached (Makes Allentown, PA News & Video clip!)
DOZENS GATHERED IN ALLENTOWN TODAY TO DEMAND THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

PROTESTORS CHANTED AND HELD SIGNS IN FRONT OF THE LEHIGH COUNTY COURTHOUSE TODAY THAT READ "IMPEACH BUSH,""STOP THE WAR" AND "BRING OUR TROOPS HOME."

ORGANIZERS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT REASONS TO GO TO WAR IN IRAQ.

THEY ALSO SAY BUSH IS GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES AND SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.

8. Hey man!
An old biddy like me has been there on the streets again.
I lived in France for 20 years, came back and have found myself retracing the same routes as in the late 60's against the war in VN. Parked my car to get an ice-tea came out and fender was bashed, I think because of my anti-Bu$h sticker,tons of room all-around.
Who had that song: So tired, so tired of waiting for you ...
WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
Cheers :toast:

5. This is how it starts! Small group and here and there and next thing you
know... Whole country is protesting in unity!!!
This is how it was done in late 60's and early 70's. It was very slow going at first and in few years group organized and it got huge!

12. Yes indeed. This IS how it starts. Small at first. Here and there.
But then you start noticing that there are more and more "hear and there's" popping up all over the place. And the crowds of "dozens" expand to thousands and tens-of-thousands.

Start watching the letters to the editor, too. Count up how many in, say, the Sunday paper (where there are more and the opinion/editorials section is usually more prominent) that are pro-impeachment versus still blindly supporting bush. Check out how many letters and comments start sounding like people are waking up. I think the critical mass point is near.

9. Clip not working for me...
but glad to hear about it. I pray for the day that his smirk vanishes from his face, as the charges of his war crimes are read!
