FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CINDY SHEEHAN JOINS ACTIVISTS PLANNING CITIZENS' PRO-IMPEACHMENT & PRO-PEACE PROTEST AT NEW YEAR'S ROSE PARADE




Los Angeles - California (December 18, 2007) Local and national pro-Impeachment and pro-Peace American citizens will stage non-violent protests and demonstrations throughout the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, on Tuesday, January 1, 2008 beginning at 7:30 a.m. with support from Cindy Sheehan and the Camp Casey Peace Institute. The convergence of activists is called the White Rose Coalition, in honor of the resistance movement in Munich in 1942. The White Rose Coalition includes members of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC), CODEPINK, Troops Out Now Coalition, World Can't Wait, ANSWER, Progressive Democrats of America, the Green Party, Veterans for Peace, United for Peace and Justice, and others.




The groups are calling for impeaching George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors, and to end U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Rep. Dennis Kucinich [OH] has sponsored two resolutions in Congress to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney: H. Res. 333 and H. Res. 799. He is drafting an extended version relating to President Bush. The patriots gathered on January 1, 2008 will be sending a strong pro-Impeachment and pro-Peace message to this Administration in opposition to the continuing occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and the growing pressure by Cheney and others to bomb Iran. "This administration has shredded Constitutional protections and is now apparently planning another illegal military strike, this time to bomb Iran," says Cynthia Mather , a spokesperson for LANIC. "The consequences of such an assault on global well-being and security would be catastrophic," she said. "Congress is obligated to act before it is too late. But the Democrats are not making any move to stop it, so impeachment is our only recourse."

"Numbers of protestors and demonstrators from the various groups could be in the hundreds or in the thousands", said Peter Thottam, Executive Director of LANIC . "We expect this to be a national day of impeachment visibility, with folks joining from all parts of the country. It is hard to gauge how many will show up, but according to the latest MSNBC poll, of 584,000 people asked if they thought Bush had committed impeachable offenses, 89 per cent said yes! There is a tremendous level of anger and frustration out there. I doubt if our politicians in Washington D.C. have any idea just how much."

So a stain on a dress was a good reason for impeachment, but lying us into a war isn't? Impeach Cheney, then Bush.

If there was, bu$h would have had pics plastered behind him at his press conferences(few of which he has ever had). There were no WMDs found, no mushroom clouds have ever been seen.

World peace is entirely possible. If only people would realize that there are more of us than them. The governments don't want peace because war and conflict equals profit. If the people said, "No more" and really meant it...it would end. The powers that be are afraid of us, show them that we're not afraid of them. Not with violence, but with love. Al Gore made global warming a popular issue and now everything is going green. What could you do with an abundance of love ?

Whatever happened to CIndy Sheehan? I guess taking on Nancy Pelosi for her congressional seat wasn't such a good idea? The media lambastes (and rightfully so) a lightweight like Sarah Palin, but assigns sage status to similarly persuaded fools like Sheehan, at least until you cross the line and threaten the status quo.

Just goes to show, it isn't ideals or values that drive lawmakers, it's all about how much they can pocket from turning political tricks for the highest bidder.
