It's Time to March for Peace and Impeachment
If we're going to end this war, we have to do more than send e-mails - we also have to march in the streets and walk the halls of Congress, just as we have done since Bush begain his "marketing campaign" for the invasion of Iraq on September 12, 2002:
http://www.democrats.com/five-years-ago-today-the-first-iraq-war-protestSEPTEMBER 15: Thousands of Americans from around the country will join together in Washington, D.C., to demand the impeachment of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush and insist on the immediate end to the occupation in Iraq. Please join us: http://www.impeachbush.org
Or hold a local event: Use the occassion of September 15 to hold an impeachment rally in your town. You'll find big marches in Alabama, Kansas, Nevada, Virginia, and Florida on our calendar:
