WASHINGTON, D.C., Jul 22 (OneWorld) - Activists seeking to impeach President George W.

Keep the pressure up folks! We may actually never see these demonstrations on our censored news casts but that doesn't mean they don't exist!

1. Well, look on the bright side
It'll burn up the time of a lot of jackboot thug undercover agents. I hope they're all very disappointed when it's all over.

Even so, organizers of this weekend's events said they would increase pressure on Congress to impeach Bush. Their campaign seeks to capitalize on falling support for Bush's policy on Iraq, where a persistent and bloody insurgency has taken a heavy toll on Iraqi security personnel and generated concern about how long U.S. forces will have to remain in the country.

Begun by a half-dozen liberal activists, the After Downing Street coalition claims scores of international members including U.S. peace, veterans', and military families' groups. These include Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Rainbow/PUSH, Global Exchange, Code Pink, and Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
