Thousands call for impeachment in Kennebunkport
Last Sunday, two thousand people came out to protest at the meeting of President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin, two imperialists ready to get their lounge on in the upper-class vacationland of Kennebunkport, Maine. The diverse group of protestors including antiwar activists, veterans, lawyers, revolutionary communists, civil libertarians, anarchists, labor leaders, women's groups, and one marching band.
The purpose for most was to call for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Signs read, "Impeachment is the path to peace," and "Democracy breached, time to impeach." Not everyone, of course, felt impeachment was the most important goal. "The priority is getting out of Iraq, not impeachment. We can get them for war crimes later," said Judy, a Maine resident.
The protest began with a rally and a series of speakers. As time wore on, protestors away from the stage on the street grew ansy. Women in Code Pink for Peace chanted, "Let's go, let's go!" Some began a count-down, their hopes dashed when nobody moved. Judy encouraged the crowd to begin marching, even though the speakers had not finished.
