Do you think this administration may be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors?  Do you know the war won't stop as long as the regime that started it remains in office?  Do you think Congress should live up to its Constitutional obligation to check the executive branch?  A majority of Americans agree! Join this 2nd annual action to spell IMPEACH!, with our bodies and blankets, in giant letters on the ground.  Photographers on top of the Washington Monument will capture the action--and the message--between 4 and 5 pm.  Arrive early to claim your spot in the letter of your choice, enjoy music (artist Dangerous M is coming to play from New York!), information, entertainment and late-April sunshine! (BYO Picnic) In solidarity with the Impeach on the Beach crew in San Francisco. Information: Contact Jay Marx @ 202/234-2000 or wpc@igc.org.
