The Orange Revolution Begins in Six Days. Will You Be A Part of It?
On July 23, 2002, the head of British intelligence reported that Bush
and Cheney were intent on invading Iraq and planned to "fix the
intelligence and facts around the policy"--i.e. lie to do so. Five years
later a million people have died as a direct result of these lies and
there's no end in sight. Meanwhile, torture has been institutionalized,
habeaus corpus eviscerated, and illegal spying made routine. New Orleans
lies devastated-- along with our Constitution and the rule of law. And
Bush and Cheney are making a mockery of the Democrats' feeble gestures
towads accountability.
Enough is enough and this July 23rd a new phase in the movement for
peace and justice will be launched. We call it the Orange Revolution
because starting that day will wearing orange will signify that you want
Congress to START IMPEACHMENT and STOP THE WAR. The majority of
Americans want to see Bush and Cheney impeached and want an immediate
end to this war. But they are rendered largely invisible by a complicit
corporate media. Wearing or displaying orange will be our signal to one
another--and to the world--about where we stand. Anything orange will
do: a t-shirt, a wristband, a ribbon--get creative and post your images
and ideas on ImpeachSpace. com. Here are a couple of items to get you
started:
Orange "Drive out the Bush Regime" bandanas
Available at http://www.worldcan... twait.net/
Orange "Impeach Bush and Cheney" t-shirts
Available at http://www.beachblo... gger.net/ barbara/
The Orange Revolution will be launched with acts of civil disobedience
in Washington and elsewhere to show Congress that we are serious.
In D.C., Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Col. Ann
Wright, Debra Sweet, Dave Lindorff, David Swanson, Jodie Evans, Medea
Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, Tina Richards, and others will march from
Arlington National Cemetary to the office of Congressman John Conyers.
They will sit in Conyers' office reciting the U.S. Constitution until
they are either arrested or he agrees to start impeachment. All are
welcome to join them. See http://www.afterdow... ningstreet. org/sit for
time and location.
Similar actions will take place at the offices of Rep. Howard Berman in
California, Rep. Pete Visclosky in Indiana, and Rep. Conyers' district
offices in Detroit. If you are willing to risk going to jail for justice
you are encouraged to go to Washington or to stage a sit-in at your own
Representative' s district office. See http://www.democrat... s.com/sit for
more information and tools to help you organize this.
If you cannot participate in civil disobedience, please wear orange in
solidarity with those that are and please call Congressman Conyers that
day and ask him to move on impeachment: (202) 225-5126.
The march in D.C. is also part of Cindy Sheehan's Journey for Humanity
from Crawford, Texas to New York City. Participants in this Journey for
Humanity share the goals of ending the occupation of Iraq, impeaching
Cheney and Bush, restoring New Orleans, and funding human needs at home
and in Iraq and Afghanistan. The march will include stops at the
district offices of House Judiciary Committee Members Mel Watt, Howard
Coble, and Bobby Scott along the way, before arriving in Washington,
D.C., on July 23rd. For more information and to get involved visit

Essential Viewing: Bill Moyers on Impeachment
On Friday, PBS aired a one-hour special on impeachment featuring Bruce
Fein, Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and well-known
Republican, and John Nichols, author of "The Genius of Impeachment" and
well-known Democrat, both arguing for impeachment.
If there's one video to share with your friends and family who are still
skeptical about impeachment, this is it. Fein and Nichols argue with
passion and eloquence that the necessity of impeaching both Bush and
Cheney is not about politics, but about salvaging our Constitutional
form of government.

How to Get Impeachment into the Next Democratic Presidential Debate
Also on July 23rd, the Democratic presidential candidates will take part
in an evening debate run by CNN, Google, and Youtube. You can
submit your own questions on video to the candidates through
Youtube--and everybody can vote for which questions they most want to
see asked. Right now a question about impeachment is the second most
popular video out of more than a thousand submitted.
Please go to http://www.communit... ycounts.us/ cgi/demdebate and help vote
that video up to number one. And please use the search feature on the
site to look for other videos on impeachment and vote those up too!
And let's flood the site with more questions about impeachment! All you
need is to video yourself for thirty seconds and put it up on YouTube.
No fancy equipment necessary--a webcam or video shot on your camera is
just fine. Be sure to include the word "impeachment" in your video's
title so everybody can find it.
In solidarity,
Jacob Park
