Vote in the
referendum
to Indict Bush
(and other high officials)
|
September 24th was a great success. In order to build on that momentum, VoteToImpeach has launched an easy-to-use mechanism to write to the politicians and demand Impeachment. We are also planning newspaper ads and radio spots to publicize the campaign. We need your support to continue this important work. |
We were hoping that 100,000 people would surround the White House on September 24 for the big demonstration. But more than three times that number came out in a march that was so big that it lasted over five hours. The marchers went directly on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House with thousands upon thousands chanting Impeach Bush! The turn-out from the impeachment campaign from all around the country in Washington, D.C. was fantastic. Tens of thousands of people from the impeachment movement also joined the anti-war demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and elsewhere making the call to Impeach Bush heard across the U.S.
When Ramsey Clark called for impeachment, it resonated as perhaps the most popular chant of the day. The chorus of 300,000 people chanting, “Impeach Bush, Impeach Bush” directly in front of the White House was heard all over downtown Washington D.C. This was a peace demonstration but it was also an Impeach Bush demonstration perhaps the largest demonstration calling for impeachment in U.S. history. The strong sentiment for impeachment was reported in much of the media coverage.

Everyone in the ImpeachBush.org movement thanks the hundreds of volunteers who helped this happen. The big ImpeachBush.org/VoteToImpeach.org Tent on the Ellipse was a gigantic success. Thousands of people stopped by to pick up leaflets, placards, signs and Impeachment petitions. The beautiful bright yellow impeachment signs could be seen everywhere. Volunteers collected many thousands of new names from people who wanted to join this grassroots referendum.
With the names collected Saturday we are now over the 600,000 mark of people who have called on Congress to take actions against Bush and other high officials for their criminal conduct. The most important thing now is to keep the pressure on Congress. Although more than 300,000 people personally participated in the September 24 demonstration they actually speak for the sentiment of many millions of people who would have joined the demonstration if they could have made it to Washington
D.C.
On Monday we launched the "Tell Congress to Impeach Bush Now" mass email campaign. We have created an on-line communications instrument called “Tell Congress.” It is for the millions of people who may not have be able to come to Washington D.C. but who support the goal of the demonstration. It allows everyone to join the demonstration from home and work by sending a message directly to their elected officials that they, like the marchers in Washington on September 24, insist that Bush should be impeached now! It is becoming so successful that we are extending the campaign - so if you haven't voted DO IT NOW! Ask you friends and family to participate if they also want to see Bush impeached.

By clicking here, you will get to the Impeach Bush Now email campaign where an easy to use mechanism will let you quickly send your customized message directly to the politicians. There is sample language provided which you can edit, and there is also a "tell-a-friend" page which lets you easily send a message to several friends urging them to participate.
The impeachment movement wants to thank every person who made a donation to help the September 24 demonstration become such an historic event. Because the price of bus tickets was kept low many people were able to come to Washington D.C. Without the continued contributions from people who believe in impeachment the signs and leaflets and other publicity materials could not have been printed.

| Ramsey Clark calls for Impeachment at the White House |
The September 24 mass demonstration is not really over. We can keep it going with your help. The “Tell Congress” campaign can spread all over the internet by impeachment members forwarding and circulating the call to join the campaign so that their friends, family members, co-workers and fellow students can also send a message directly to their elected officials calling for impeachment. We are also preparing to launch the next round of newspaper ads around the country and begin doing radio spots. In the past we have placed full page ads in the New York Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle and in other newspapers.
We want to also start running 60 second and 30 second radio ads so that people all over the country learn about the impeachment movement and how they can join the the “Tell Congress” campaign.
This movement is growing because of the generosity and commitment from people who recognize that the movement cannot do this work without adequate funding. We ask you to continue to help by making a contribution. To make a donation now, click here.
Let's build on the momentum of September 24th!
