Permit secured for September 24th pro-impeachment rally at White House

[dissent1977]

Legal permits have now been obtained on both sides of the White House for the mass demonstration on September 24. This will allow tens of thousands of supporters of the impeachment of George W. Bush to join with the antiwar movement and create a sea of protestors to surround the White House.

September 24 will be a day to bring your family, your parents, grandparents and children, and as many neighbors and friends as possible together with thousands of others in the the ImpeachBush movement's most powerful display yet. It will be an opportunity to exercise your First Amendment right to demand that Bush, Cheney and other high officials be held accountable for their criminal conduct.

As we reported last week, recent polls show a dramatic spike in support for impeachment. According to most recent Zogby Poll, 42% of voters - 25% of whom consider themselves Republicans - would support impeachment if Bush lied about Iraq. The tide is clearly turning, but we need to work with ever-greater vigor.

ImpeachBush.org/VoteToImpeach is launching a massive advertising and publicity campaign to promote the September 24 Impeachment contingent at the White House demonstration. We will take out newspaper ads, radio spots, targeted media outreach, and print hundreds of thousands of leaflets, stickers, posters, lawn signs and other outreach materials.

The impeachment campaign will use the information from the Downing Street memos and other known sources that prove the Bush administration engaged in a pattern of lies and deceit to mislead Congress and the people.

7. I doubt they have made his schedule that far in advance

But I am sure they will find some excuse to get him out of town. He usually leaves town whenever there is a big protest against him.

4. I'm sure there will be...

Some increased in the terror alert scale or a stray plane flying over Washington that day.

5. P.S.

Isn't that the weekend of the mass International Answer/United for Peace and Justice "Stop the War" march?

6. Looks like you are right

It appears that ANSWER and VotetoImpeach.org must be cosponsoring this event, or at least scheduling both events at the same time in the same place. That means we should be able to expect a big turnout for this.

From International ANSWER's website:

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, on behalf of the September 24 National Coalition, has obtained permits for the September 24 March on Washington at the White House. We have obtained the permits for both Lafayette Park on the North Side of the White House and the Ellipse on the South Side. We expect a sea of protestors to surround the White House in a vivid demonstration of the growing opposition to the criminal war and occupation of Iraq. Marching under the banner "Stop the War Against Iraq, Bring the Troops Home Now, End Colonial Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti and Everywhere," communities from throughout the United States will converge in a unified display of what now represents majority sentiment: opposition to the U.S. government's war drive.

Obtaining the permits at the White House will allow the largest number of people to participate, exercise their First Amendment rights, and speak out against the Bush administration and its war for Empire.
