Portland 'Impeach Balloon' Soars over Willamette River
Submitted by Chip on Sat, 2007-06-09 08:34. Impeachment



--from Barbara Ellis - Portland, Oregon
South Side DFA Group' Impeachment Activist

2d Wind on Impeachment

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect…
The game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry "Impeach the Tyrants! Vote 333 Now!!!"

4. You mean the flaming Nazi gasbag--
--as opposed to the Hindenberg, which was just a dirigible?

6. I guess try calling the South Side DFA group in Portland.
Or check out some ballooning websites. Seems you might be able to buy one and have someone paint the message on it.

I, myself, have no clue.

7. Dang! I arrived in Portland about 24 late to see this.
Glad to see the rain hadn't rolled in so there was visibility for the message! :thumbsup:
