With ten days to go, we're entering the homestretch in building for A28 - and the grassroots impeachment movement is sizzling!
We've got actions from Miami to North Pole, Alaska, with more being added by the hour. April 28 will mark the beginning of Impeachment Summer , and we've got a whole list of ways to turn up the heat on Congress even more after A28.
Now is the time to figure out what you're going to do on A28, chip in for the cause, and get the word out far and wide. There's a lot going on behind the scenes as well, and over the next week you can expect to hear some very exciting announcements!
Find A28 Actions on ImpeachMap
The A28 website has been completely overhauled and one of the most exciting new features is the ImpeachMap. You can use this to find an action near you, add your own action, or locate people in your area to team up with. Visit the map on the A28 homepage:

New Customizable A28 Flyers: Perfect to hand out at Earth Day this Weekend

Bush and Cheney are sworn enemies of not just of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- but really of the entire planet. Earth Day, which takes place this weekend, is a perfect opportunity to spread the word about A28 to people who care about people and the planet more than profits and plunder. Events will be happening both Saturday and Sunday, and you can find one near you here and here . Be sure to check your local community event calenders as well.
When you join together with people on April 28, please plan to have with you stacks of impeachment petitions, some pens, and some clipboards. Collect people's names and contact info on the petitions. Then use that list to organize future activist efforts locally, and also add the names to the national list. You can get the petitions and everything you need at

MOTHER OF A MARCH
From Cindy Sheehan:
The time for being polite to our war-mongering politicians and organizations which support them is over.
We mothers have to stand up and put our bodies on the line for peace and humanity. We must look into the best parts of ourselves that make us mothers willing to care for and protect all children of the world, not just our own. We need to access our hearts and souls to lead from a place of compassion and love not from war/fear mongering, hatred and disgraceful threats and use of bullying force.
I am calling on Mothers of the world to join us in Washington DC for a "10,000 Mother of a March" on the day after Mother’s Day, Monday, May 14th, 2007 . Marches on the weekends are not effective, we need to shut the city of DC down! We will surround Congress and demand an end to this evil occupation and refuse to leave until the Congressional Leadership agrees with us, or throws us in jail!
Meet at Layfayette Park at noon . We will rally, and then march to Congress
I am calling on Mothers of the world to descend on US embassies all over the world that day. Imagine 10,000 Iraqi women marching on the Green Zone: marching in solidarity with us to end the slaughter of their children. I believe millions of mothers around the world are tired of their children being used as cannon fodder and political tools in the games of war and killer sanctions. Together we will stop the war machine.
Mothers united will never be defeated!
(Those who are not mothers, but who have mothers are invited, also.)
Sign up and let us know you are coming .
