AMERICANS SUPPORT PUSH FOR IMPEACHMENT: NATIONWIDE ACTIONS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 28,

including events in Cleveland OH (local info below)

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 23, 2007 - In response to today’s announcement by Rep. Dennis Kucinich that he plans to file Articles of Impeachment against Vice-President Dick Cheney, Americans across the country will take to the streets on April 28 to express their support for the impeachment of both Cheney and Bush. From Miami, Florida to North Pole, Alaska, more than 100 actions are planned nationwide, with more being added by the hour.

Jacob Park, National Coordinator of the April 28 actions, said "George Bush and Dick Cheney lied the nation into an illegal war of aggression, are spying on millions of innocent Americans, and have authorized the use of torture. The time has come for all of us—particularly our representatives in Congress—to decide where we stand. Impeachment is a self-evident moral imperative and to turn a blind eye to lying, spying, and torture makes a mockery of our most basic values and the very notion of democracy."

On April 28, a scheduled visit by George Bush to Miami will be greeted by a massive impeachment rally called for by dozens of organizations. At the California Democratic Convention in San Diego, hundreds of delegates will openly defy the party leadership by bringing an impeachment resolution to the floor for a vote. Thousands of people will form “human murals” spelling the word “impeach” with their bodies at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Coney Island in New York, the foot of the Washington monument, and other locations. And elsewhere people will spell out the word in myriad creative ways ranging from banners on freeway overpasses to a skywriting plane over the New Orleans Jazzfest to candles in Atlanta.

In Cleveland OH, people will be gathering for a series of events in Tremont
