Protesters Confront Pelosi: Call for Bush impeachment

[Fireweed247]

WALTHAM - As U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Stanley Elementary School yesterday, a small group of protesters gathered outside demanding she use her congressional powers to impeach President George Bush.

Holding signs simply reading "Impeach" and others offering statistics on deaths caused by the war in Iraq, about a dozen protesters held a silent demonstration yesterday on the sidewalk opposite the school on South Street.

"Pelosi has the power to bring bills to the floor or not bring bills to the floor. She's not been using that power," said Sandy Coy of Wayland, who said she was alerted to Pelosi's visit through an e-mail network. "How often do we get a chance to put our message out there to impeach the President George Bush and (Vice President) Dick Cheney and end the war?"

Coy said she is a member of the Congressional District 7 Chapter of Progressive Democrats of America, an organization founded in 2004 to effect change in the Democratic Party and the country.

When Pelosi was slated to become House speaker she declared that impeachment was "off the table."

Stan Robinson, a radio talk show host on WZBC 90.3 FM, said he was also protesting to spur Pelosi into bringing impeachment proceedings.

"Pelosi is the key to impeachment," Robinson said. "Impeachment is a different problem than normal congressional acts because impeachment doesn't have to withstand a veto. She really does have the power."

5. The damage Bush has done to our country will be with us for decades.

It will take a great deal of effort to undo and correct the acts of the Bush Administration. His irresponsible, selfish, ill-conceived, and illegal acts will be with Americans for a long time.

Impeachment is the VERY LEAST Pelosi should do for America.
