Hi Lucille,
Thank you for sending this article.
http://losgatosobserver.com/los-gatos/FrontPage.php
The group that initiated this action in Los Gatos on Saturday was the Silicon
Valley Impeachment Coalition of which I am a member of. We are a coalition
of the Green Party of Santa Clara County, South Bay Impeachment Committee,
members of Mountain View Voices For Peace, 911 Truth Alliance and individual
activists. There were 11 people in Los Gatos from 5:00pm - 6:00pm. Two of our
members who could not make it until after 7:30pm did the "2nd shift." Our
coalition began this miniwalk action in Mt. View were we have had great response
from the passerbys and the drivers. Since we have seen success from our Mt.
View action (we've been doing the miniwalks for about 2 months) we have decided
to take our miniwalks "on the road", that is to do them in Los Gatos, Saratoga
and San Jose. We call them miniwalks because that is what we do, we walk up
and down the street carrying our IMPEACH signs. We find this is an excellent
way to interact with people. They come up to us and start talking about
impeachment pro and con.
On Saturday in Los Gatos there were 13 of us including the "2nd shirft." The
response was very positive. People told us they were happy to see us doing
this action. (that is what we are told in Mt. View also.)

Impeach Bush, Los Gatans Told
Petition drive in Town Plaza

At least 7 protesters gathered near the post office Sat. night to express
themselves with signs reading "Impeach Bush/Cheney" and "Don't be Fuelish." The
individuals seemed determined but calm and willing to listen to other points of
view.
"Senator [J. William] Fulbright, back in the 60s, said that if you don't like
what your government is doing," one protester explained, "then you have a
constitutional duty to make your views heard."
Several protesters gathered across from the post office. Others arrived, and
the group headed up N. Santa Cruz Ave.
The protesters have been picketing in Mountain View and decided to try a
different locale.
"We thought we'd take the temperature here in Los Gatos," one said. Within a
few minutes, they had gathered a couple of signatures on their impeachment
petition, along with a harangue by someone they described as being a Rush
Limbaugh fan.
The protest seemed loosely organized; it's not clear when the group will
return. The important thing, beyond gathering signatures, seems to be just getting
the word out. Free speech is alive in Los Gatos.
What do you think?

It's about time. The law is the law. Bush/Cheney and their band of the worst
'mafia' in the history of this country, probably the world have committed so
many impeachable offenses, from lying to Americans, congress, the UN, the
world, to an illegal war-for-profit, to TORTURE, to illegal wire tapping.... WHICH
BUSH ADMITS TO AND ARROGANTLY INFORMS US HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO... TO OUTING A
COVERT CIA AGENT AND ITS OPERATION (tracking WMD's, for God's sake), which is
ON ITS FACE... TREASON. The Republicans, who "conserve" NOTHING, including
our precious Constitution, have LOOTED America to support this murderous Bush
Mafia. Bush, Cheney, Gonzalez/Ashcroft, Rice, Rove, Rumsfeld.. ALL... have way
beyond exceeded the "standards for impeachment" set by the Republicans,
themselves, that their ignoring these presidential crimes is complicity and treason,
as well. IMPEACHMENT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS, of investigation and
indictment, that discovers the truth (hopefully) and writes their crimes into
history. IF IT ISN'T WRITTEN, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
IMPEACHMENT SAYS, "WE'RE SORRY!" Something the world needs, and which may be
the only thing that convinces the world that the American People do not
condone the crimes of this indifferent, murderous administration. It may be, in
fact, the one and only thing that will save the lives of countless Americans and
our economy...way into the future. The search for the truth through impeachment
will undoubtedly expose the corporate greed that war feeds, as well as its
poisoning of human beings for profit and the fact that the U.S. military has
become a fascist corporate tool to capture and hold the resources and lives
struggling nations, and human beings around the world.
What kind of a country have we become when the American People are convinced
(like "good Germnans") that it's ok to let these rich bastards murder 650,000
Iraqi human beings, including infants and children... TO FEED THEIR ADDICTION
TO PROFIT AND POWER?

A better sign would read. "Uphold the Constitution and enforce Federal law."
The Federal War Crimes Act of 1996 should be invoked NOW! Indict, try,
convict, and EXECUTE Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and all the other war
criminals, mass murderers, war mongerers, CIA death squads, war profiteers and
conspirators in our government. Hang them high from the top of the Washington
Monument as a signal to the rest of the world that Americans will NOT tolerate
war criminals and murderers at the head of our government. DO IT AND DO IT NOW!
