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.<BR>
<BR>
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.)<BR>

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.<BR>
"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."<BR>
<IMG SRC="http://losgatosobserver.com/los-gatos/article-images/IMG_0063.jpg" WIDTH="460" HEIGHT="319" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="17647"> Several protesters gathered across from the post office. Others arrived, and the group headed up N. Santa Cruz Ave.<BR>
The protesters have been picketing in Mountain View and decided to try a different locale.<BR>
"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.<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
What do you think?<BR>

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. <BR>
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. <BR>
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? <BR>

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!<BR>
