So what are doing this Sunday?
Me:

http://maineimpeach.org/Events.html


Citizens Summit Rally and Impeachment March
July 1st starting at 1:00 pm
at the Village Green in Kennebunkport, Maine.

This can be the pivotal event that galvanizes impeachment for all
of New England if not the whole Northeastern U.S.

Since Putin will be in Kennebunkport we can count on the INTERNATIONAL PRESS, the WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORP, and national and local media to be present.

We want to turn out big numbers for this!!
From all over the Northeastern U.S. !!

Our theme is: IMPEACH PRESIDENT BUSH AND VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY.
Groups and individuals are encouraged to bring banners, flags, signs and noisemakers, as well as water and snacks.

The IMPEACHMENT RALLY will begin at 1:00pm with plenty of music beforehand.

Keynote speakers include:

• Melita Arredondo - Gold Star Families
• Danny Muller - Peace Action Maine
• Peter Kellman - Southern Maine Labor Council
• Dan DeWalt - Patriotic Response to Renegade Governmant (Vermont Impeachment)
• Dan Lourie - Peace and Justice of Eastern Maine and Veterans For Peace
• John Kaminski - Chair of maine Lawyers For Democracy
• David Swanson - co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org

• Music by Pat Scanlon and Band, Matt Loosigian and The Raging Grannies.

After the rally we will march up Ocean Avenue to the area near Walker's Point.
The LEFTIST MARCHING BAND will accompany the march.
( See www.leftistmarchingband.org )

"We are marching to demand the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for not only death and destruction in the Middle East but in America as well. From Katrina to the mutilation of our Constitution, the evisceration of habeas corpus, torture and the warrantless surveillance of American Citizens" says Jamilla El-Shafei, event organizer for the Kennebunk PEACE Department. "Bush needs to be held accountable, especially when he is in our backyard!"

The march to the Walkers Point area is less than 2 miles each way.
We will have first aid stations with bottled water ($1.00) as well as a "BISTER VAN" for folks who cannot finish the walk (for whatever reason) and need to fall out, the van will pick them up.

This event will happen regardless of weather - RAIN OR SHINE

For more info contact Jamilla at jamillaelshafei@yahoo.com.

This event is being organized by the Kennebunk Peace Department and the Maine Campaign to Impeach. Other event supporters include: Maine Veterans for Peace, Green Mountain Peace, The Vermont Impeachment Movement, and Patriotic Response to Renegade Government.

Expenses for this event total over $4000 and they need to be repaid. Please send contributions to:
Maine Campaign to Impeach, P.O. Box 5346, Portland, ME 04101.
Make checks payable to Maine Veterans for Peace / Impeachment.
