A blaring call for impeachment
Carroll group makes noise to get rid of Bush, but some aren't listening

At a busy intersection in the bucolic and conservative town of Hampstead yesterday morning, seven people waved signs calling on Carroll County drivers to honk for President Bush's impeachment -- and yelled "thank you" to those who cursed at them. The honks and horn blasts from cars and trucks pierced the air at a rate of about two per minute. But nearby, an unlucky man who worked the night shift was trying to sleep. He called the police.

The protest organizer, Brad Brown, 27, of Westminster displayed his permit. Capt. Jay Gribbin of the Hampstead Police Department read Brown a transportation code that bans honking on highways for nonsafety reasons.

Brown agreed to move the small group to the northeast corner of Main Street and Gill Avenue so that most of the honking drivers were traveling away from the man's house. Brown didn't really mind. He was just tickled by all of the honking.

"In this county, I just can't believe it," said Brown, who borrowed the "honk for impeachment" idea from a Web site and organized a similar protest last weekend in Westminster. "It's just amazing. In Carroll County, of all places." Brown is leading a small contingent of peace protesters this summer at four stops in Carroll and Baltimore counties on his way to a nationwide pro-impeachment march in Washington next month.

Helminiak, however, wondered whether the protesters had thought through the potential consequences of their call to action: "Then Richard Cheney would be our president." Brown's answer was on his T-shirt: Impeach Cheney too.

4. Impeachment?

We are so far beyond impeachment. And with a democrat party that is clearly ok with a fascist government the thought of impeachment is laughable. No...this comes down to Americans taking our government back through massive demonstrations and occupations of government facilities demanding an end to the fascists and an end to the destruction of our constitution. America is our constitution and it has been destroyed. Our government has convinced us that their job is to protect its citizens when in fact their job is to protect the constitution. When Bush says his job is to protect citizens that s a lie...he is to defend the constitution and has in fact trampled on it and made it a useless meaningless document.

Impeachment? Try arresting all of them and dragging them to a trial in a world court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Anyone remember that creepy little dictator of Romania and how he was brought down? This administration deserves nothing less than that kind of uprising from the population. Nothing less.

5. That happened because the people were starving

A casual observation of history leads to the conclusion that revoultion doesn't come from the well-fed.
