[Sosfbay-discuss] Impeachment for Peace Walk (was Re: anti war walk)

[MKmusic03 at aol.com]

Today, this morning to be exact, the "I" word (IMPEACH) was sprinkled in a 
new way.  Myself and an activist/actionist from East Palo Alto carried an 
IMPEACH banner down E. Bayshore near
San Antonio Road and we stood behind the chain-link fence between E. Bayshore 
and 101.  We stood there holding the banner from 8:00am - 9:00am.  Thousands 
of cars went by and saw the banner.  We got lots of honks, waves, peace signs 
and support from the drivers.  We were there until a highway patrol officer 
came by and told us we were obstructing traffic with our banner.  We of course 
said we were expressing our freedom for free speech.  The officer told us they 
had complaints that we were causing an obstruction to traffic.  We of course 
were not.  Paul, the East Palo Atoan and director of this action immediately 
stated that if our banner was obstructing traffic then so must all the 
billboards along the freeway be obstructing traffic.  The patrol officer did not like 
hearing that.  I then asked her was their a vehicle code for obstructing 
traffic, she said there was.  I asked her what the vehicle code was.  She said that 
if she had to look up the vehicle code she would then have to cite us.  She 
walked back to her car.  At that point Paul and I decided to roll up the banner 
and leave.  

We are planning to stand with the IMPEACH banner on E. Bayshore once a week.

Yes, we've been doing this kind of thing in Mountain View on Castro
Street after our weekly vigil ( see Cameron's blog on this entitled
"Accidental Peace Action" 
http://www.greencommons.org/node/453 ).  We've been delighted how
positively people have been responding to the IMPEACH message!!!  It's
time for all of us to shed our qualms about the 'I' word and start
sprinkling our speach with it.  Spread it far and wide!  Impeach for
Peace!

Impeach early and often!
