John Nirenberg of Brattleboro, VT, started his walk on December 1st from Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA to gather petitions for the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney, along with spurring attention to the dire Constitutional crisis we face.
This article from boston.com, posted back in early December, captures the spirit of Nirenberg's cause:
Vt. man to walk from Hub to Capitol to urge Bush impeachment
BRATTLEBORO - He's got waterproof, size-11EEEE New Balance sneakers, a bright yellow poncho, and a plan. He's got outrage in his heart, a website in his name, and much of his retirement savings sunk into his cause.
John Nirenberg, a 60-year-old PhD., author, and academic, plans to walk from Boston to Washington, D.C., to confront House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in hopes of persuading Congress to take up the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
He's no activist, he says. He's not sure he'll make a difference, but he's going to try.
Today he'll hit the road from Faneuil Hall, walking 15 miles a day until he gets to Capitol Hill, making symbolic stops at the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and in Trenton, N.J., as he makes his way to the US Capitol.
Wearing a "Save the Constitution, Impeach Bush and Cheney," sandwich board-style sign, he hopes to rally support for an issue Pelosi has said is no longer on the table.
"This is about satisfying my conscience. I just don't want to be the guy who says in five years that I regret not having stood up and said something," he said.
