Most of you have seen the wonderful pictures, spread worldwide, of the BeachImpeach.org
Laydown and surf rush done at the West End of the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
Now, the inimitable and very hard-working Brad Newsham is coordinating a new multiple version of the event on April 28, Saturday, 10:30 Sharp! (Because airplanes are expensive!)
A group of us has been helping Brad out with his subversive boxes of ropes and clips that lay out the enormous 400'x100'
IMPEACH!
on the ground so people know where to go to make a nice clean outline of the big IMPEACH!.
There are 28 vertical 100' ropes and strings with labels showing where to clip this and that, and 22 horizontal strings in coded colors that clip on the vertical strings. About a half mile of strings and rope and clips and tape.
Kind of a grownup Tab A into Slot A toy!
It's a LOT of work, and costs a fair amount of money (thousands so far, but look at the publicity! Donate!) Brad's a cabdriver of modest means, and the absolute prototype of the citizen activist.
This time we are sending boxes to Central Park and Coney Island Beach in New York, and to Coachella, California.
Mark the date on your calendar and visit the site often to make sure plans haven't changed.
It's a wonderful opportunity to literally wallow around in a pile of people like us. It's a great way to spend the day, network, and spread the word about DailyKos.com.
Current word is that Code Pink is going to do an entire letter in pink! We've had more fun from this last one that I'd have believed! There will be pictures taken from Up, Up in the Air!
Please rec this up so it hangs for a while! We need a good turnout, so the MSM plays it on both coasts and worldwide!
We have to get rid of Bush!
I'll update this next week also to make sure people know what is going on!
This is from an email today from Brad. With his express permission.
THE GOOD NEWS: The PERMIT is now sitting on the table in front of me... And there are now more than 30 impeachment events scheduled nationwide for April 28...
FLIERS AVAILABLE: Many of you have asked for flyers to distribute and now two different volunteers have each created a beautiful flyer -- email me directly and I'll email both back and you can take your pick or use both...
FINAL NOTE: Sometimes I catch myself thinking: "What if all of this actually WORKS? What if we really DO build enough pressure to force out this government that so few of us believe in, and we get a new government with the agenda of peace and international harmony that most Americans believe in...? Wouldn't that be SOMETHING?" In 1974 I was standing across the street from the White House on the day Nixon's helicopter lifted off for the last time and took him away... The country and the world breathed the cliched "collective sigh of relief" -- but by god it was real, and it was good... and aren't we good and ready for another one...?
Onward,
