State Senator Alan Bates of Oregon and the San Francisco
Rules Committee are recommending impeachment of the Bush
Administration.
In Pakistan, thousands demonstrated against the bombing attack by the US Military. Protests were also seen in Morocco, the Dominican Republic and in India where Pres. Bush was scheduled to meet with officials.
In England there were vigils held in all the major cities commemorating Britian's 100th soldier's death in Iraq.
"BUSH ADMINISTRATION GUILTY OF CRIMES. Shortly after the findings were released, activist Heather Hurwitz confronted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld with the Commission's verdict."
In Washington, DC "on the evening of Feb 4, protestors continued the offensive of home protests. With torture and exploitation as the common theme, we first visited the home of a GSK exec (a SHAC action), then moved on to the home of Paul Wolfowiz's girlfriend, where he is rumored to sleep."
In New Orleans, "anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan staged a protest at one of the city's shuttered housing projects Tuesday, a day after 12,000 families left homeless by last year's hurricanes were forced to leave their federally funded hotel rooms."
Sheehan also spoke at a rally in Chicago. "The rally ended with a short walk to Congressman Rahm Emmanual's office a block away. Shoes representing both the civilian as well as military dead were left on his doorstep as a sad reminder of his failure to live up to antiwar election promises. The temperature was 30 degrees below freezing with the windchill."
Sheehan was also in Houston. "As mothers, fathers and American citizens, we want to join Cindy Sheehan in asking Barbara Bush "Why did our sons die for your son's lies?""
"State Sen. Bates calls for Bush Impeachment! At a large town hall meeting when asked about domestic spying Oregon State Senator Alan Bates stated: "I believe the President should be impeached over this" and he went on to say, "No President has unbridled power."" "San Francisco, 2/16 - SF Rules Committee Recommends Impeachment of Bush and Cheney."
LA - "A large group gathered at Hollywood and Vine Metro Station from different parts of L.A. to join the Peace and Love No War Bike Ride -- a happy fun lovin' event that weaved it's way around L.A.'s main streets, tree lined neighborhoods, cut through heavy traffic, waved peace signs in the air, and shouted no war and ride a bike slogans. Almost everyone on the ride had a smile beaming across their face."
Also in LA, "Antiwar Art Exhibit: "The New Normalcy." THE NEW NORMALCY features paintings, prints, and drawings that focus on the post 9-11 reality of endless war, terror, and repression."
"Oaklander stages 5-day, 24-hour protest against war in park An Oregon town by a 7 - 2 vote the Corvallis City Council became the first city in Oregon to adopt a resolution calling for the planned withdrawl of troops from Iraq."
"On Feb 22, MoveOn.org, a national political action committee, organized its members in nearly 300 US cities coast to coast to protest what they say is illegal wiretapping by the NSA, and to call for an immediate, independent investigation of the spy program."
Anti-recruitment demonstrations were held in Boston, and NYC
Bush, Rumsfeld, and Powell were met with protesters in cities where they gave speeches.
And in the strangest demonstration last month "Tucson Raging Grannies Give Valentine to Senator McCain"
