People will call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney at over 100 actions planned across the country on Saturday, April 28.
The creative actions include rallies, banner drops on freeways, ââ¬Åguerrilla slide showsââ¬Â on the sides of New York City buildings, skywriting, and ââ¬Åhuman muralsââ¬Â of people spelling out ââ¬ÅIMPEACH!ââ¬Â with their bodies at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Coney Island in New York, the foot of the Washington monument in Washington, D.C., and other locations.
ââ¬ÅGeorge Bush and Dick Cheney lied the nation into an illegal war of aggression, are spying on millions of innocent Americans, and have authorized the use of torture,ââ¬Â said Jacob Park, the national coordinator of the April 28 impeachment actions. ââ¬ÅThe time has come for all Americansââ¬âparticularly our representatives in Congressââ¬âto decide where they we stand. To turn a blind eye to lying, spying, and torture makes a mockery of our most basic values and the very notion of democracy.ââ¬Â
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) plans to introduce articles of impeachment for Vice President Dick Cheney at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
ââ¬ÅCheney spokeswoman Megan McGinn responded to Kucinichââ¬â¢s announcement by saying that the vice president has served the nation honorably for almost 40 years,ââ¬Â reports the Associated Press.
ââ¬ÅThe vice president is focused on the serious issues facing our nation,ââ¬Â McGinn said.
On Friday, Vermont state senators passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of both the president and vice president for actions that have raised ââ¬Åserious questions of constitutionality.ââ¬Â
