I thought I would share this experience with all those who have been supporting the Impeach Project. I started sometime ago printing up some impeach stickers and posting them around town. These were the small 2x4 labels. I really wasn't happy with them, they weren't all that easy to see, but I had them and printed them up. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a pdf flier at the Impeach Project. It had in big bold letters IMPEACH BUSH. I thought here we go, this is a real sign. I printed some up.
Now let me explain about the area I live in. I am in a rapidly growing area of the California high desert. It is a Republican stronghold, with lots of support for Bush and the Religious Right. Jerry Lewis is our Rep.
That being said I was shocked to see the results of my impeach flyer posting.
More below the fold.
I started off small, with only about 15 Impeach Bush posters. My wife and I went out around town over the course of several nights and posted the fliers on telephone poles. We tried to choose locations where they would have the most visibility. After posting all the flyers, I printed up about 10 more expecting to have to replace some of the previous flyers. I had placed posters in front of the largest First Baptist Church in town. In front of one of my staunch Republican neighbor's house, in front of schools, retirement centers and at major intersections. As of yesterday all my posters were still up. Now this is really incredible considering how many Republicans supported Bush in the last election. This town was one giant Bush banner, with pro Bush signs on almost every yard. I had expected to have to replace at least half or more of my fliers, due to vandalism.
This encourages me that all is not lost in America today. That even American's with whom I disagree, see the danger in Bush and Bush's America. I think there are many who supported Bush in the last election that are realizing their mistake. Support for impeachment even in Republican strongholds is gaining. Public opinion is changing.
I have printed up some new posters and will be posting them soon. I made one that says "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid, George Bush Is Watching You!" Can't wait to see how they hold up.
