DESCRIPTION:Superman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman will rally at 1:00 p.m. at\nLytton 
 Plaza in Palo Alto on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 with other heroic\ncitizens to 
 demand the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.  During the rally,\nmusician 
 August Bullock will sing "Heroes of 
 America"\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYgYVcFzw9s, which inspired the 
 theme for this\nmonth’s rally, and the Raging Grannies will also 
 perform.\n\n    After the music, “Heroic Citizens for Impeachment” 
 awards will be\npresented to Brad Newsham, who organized the two major 
 “Beach Impeach”\nevents in San Francisco, inspiring Impeachment 
 spellings across the country;\nCynthia Peterson from Code Pink, who 
 organized vigils at Nancy Pelosi’s\nmansion as well as rallies and 
 marches for impeachment; Carol Wolman\n( 
 http://www.impeachbush-cheney.com), who ran for Congress in 2006 on 
 an\nImpeachment platform; and Don Spark from World Can’t Wait, who 
 helped\norganize major impeachment events and street actions.\n\n    At 
 2:00 p.m. the heroes will call for impeachment as they march\nthrough 
 downtown Palo Alto to Congresswoman Anna Eshoo’s office at\n698 Emerson 
 Street. The rally at Lytton Plaza, which will include\nentertainment and  
 refreshments, is open to the public.\n\n     The heroes in Palo Alto are 
 not the only ones calling for impeachment.\nCongressman Dennis Kucinich 
 introduced articles of impeachment against\nVice President Cheney on April 
 24th. The two cosponsors are US Reps.\nWm. Lacy Clay (D-MO) and Janice 
 Schakowsky (D-IL). Congressman John\nMurtha mentioned impeachment as an 
 option on CBS’s Face the Nation:\n\n      “We need to make this 
 president understand, Mr. President,\n      the public has spoken. 
 There’s three ways or four ways to\n       influence a president.  One is 
 popular opinion, the election,\n       third is impeachment and fourth is 
 the purse.”\n\n     When Bob Schieffer pressed him on whether impeachment 
 was a serious\n     option on the table, Murtha responded, “I’m just 
 saying that’s one\n     way to influence a president.”\n\n    On April 
 28th, “the national day of impeachment” in over 125 locations\nacross 
 the country, citizens spelled out “IMPEACH” to get their 
 message\nacross to the public, the press and the Congress. Over 1500 
 people\ngathered on Ocean Beach in San Francisco to spell out “IMPEACH 
 NOW!”\nand then “PEACE NOW!” This demonstration, dramatically visible 
 from the\nair, was followed by a parade to Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco 
 mansion for\nan impeachment rally. Jacob Park’s website for the 
 impeachment actions\nat http://www.a28.org  was overwhelmed by photos, 
 videos, and reports of\nactions from around the U.S. as well as other 
 countries, including Italy\nand Egypt.\n\n    A concerted effort is 
 underway to pressure Congress and the press to\nrecognize and stop the 
 criminal activities, including war, being carried out\nby the US 
 government.\n\n    Congresswoman Eshoo has repeatedly rejected calls for 
 impeachment,\nclaiming that removing the President would tear the country 
 apart. Brouillet\nand other activists intend to remind her that her oath of 
 office requires her\nto defend the Constitution against all enemies, even 
 when those who\nthreaten the Constitution include the President and Vice 
 President.\n\n     Sponsors of the event include the Northern California 
 9/11 Truth Alliance, \nThe Santa Clara County Green Party, the Silicon 
 Valley Impeachment Coalition.\n\n
