Also, McKinney filed for Georgia. I am not sure if that counted, but thank her for her effort anyway.
The people that attended the rally had more than messages just for Bush. They confronted Democrats too, telling them more or less they better do their jobs or they will be shown the same door in the Republicans were in the November elections. Katrina is at the top of everyone's list, and so is all the sick and dying up in NYC from the 911 environmental disaster. As soon as someone puts up videos, I will post the links.
As far as things happening whether we like it or not (and hopefully they will act)here's a few quotes from Conyers and Waters at the rally:
Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), was one of the four congressional leaders who spoke at the rally. He said: “Our government needs to get the message: Out of Iraq, immediately.” Conyers is the new Chair of the House’s Judiciary Committee. This is the committee which has jurisdiction over any possible impeachment proceedings. In a shot over President George W. Bush’s bow, Conyers said that Bush likes to fire military advisors, who tell him he can’t win the war, but “he can’t fire you [the people]. He can’t fire us [the Congress], but ‘we can fire him.’” With that line a roar went up in the audience. The loud chant began: “Impeach Bush!”
The Chairlady of the House of Representatives’ “Out of Iraq Caucus,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), also ripped into Bush. She said: “My name is Maxine Waters and I’m not afraid of George W. Bush. My name is Maxine Waters and I’m not intimidated by Dick Cheney. My name is Maxine Waters and I helped to get [Donald] Rumsfeld fired. My name is Maxine Waters and Connie Rice is nothing but another Neocon and she doesn’t represent me. George W. Bush led us into this immoral war. He tricked the American people...He did not tell the truth...Bush says he is ‘the decider,’ but you know what? He’s not ‘the decider. He’s ‘the liar...’I will not vote one dime for this war...Bring the troops home.” Waters said some Congress people are only paying “lip service” to the antiwar cause.
