Impeachment rally brings out faithful
Capitol protest part of nationwide effort

The Vietnam-era Navy veteran got tear-gassed in anti-war protests in Madison when his active duty ended in 1968 and is proud to fight to "reverse this kind of militancy that is just unbecoming of an American."

"We're calling for bringing the troops home, ending the war in Iraq, and impeaching the president, vice president and Secretary Rice," he said.

"There is no exit strategy that is going to be positive," Coyier, an active local demonstrator, said. "The most we can do is prevent ourselves from getting shot in the butt on the way out."

For a city that has long embraced anti-war activism, few participated in the political rally that started at the Capitol on Sunday afternoon, which was part of a nationwide effort called "Human Rights Day." Its intent, according to organizers posting online, was "putting impeachment on the table."

Jane Jensen, founder of Military Families for Peace, said she marched in the protest warmed by an inner fire of indignation stoked by Bush's reaction to the bipartisan Baker-Hamilton report and his reluctance to pull out of Iraq.

"I think it is so awful that, as cold as it is, I am out here," she said.
