Event Description:

Come to the impeachment meeting 7pm Thursday, June 28, at the Havens Center 1827 W. Alabama.  Arrive a bit early - 6:30ish - and visit a while before the meeting.

As previously announced, Charlie Mauch has resigned as coordinator of the Houston Impeach Bush MeetUp since we schedule our meetings independent of MeetUp and therefore do not need to continue paying it a fee of $15 per month. Unless someone else wants to assume the position, we will disband the Impeach Bush MeetUp.

Event Sponsor:
Impeachment Committee of PAA

Event Description:

Meet with others to initiate events and actions to increase the momentum to impeach Bush and Cheney. Come share ideas and find resources. Learn what's going on and join in with others. Or come with new ideas and find others to help you.

See http://www.paa-tx.org/node/1244 for the impeach flyers that were produced for the 2006 and 2007 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day parades in Houston.

Revised bumper sticker.
Top: "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" - white text, blue background
Bottom: "IMPEACH BUSH-CHENEY" - white text, red background
www.progressiveactionalliance.org in small text at bottom

Get one (or many) of our highly-popular ""Support Our Troops - Impeach Bush-Cheney" bumper stickers and do your part to send a truly patriotic message, while getting more people thinking about the "I" word.

It seems clear that most elected officials and mainstream media are waiting for the public to initiate a demand to hold W accountable, so let's send the message!

Our bumper stickers are 3 x 10 inches, and may be removed and re-applied (a few times) for those times when you want to attend a Bush rally.  In addition, they are perfect for covering up scratches on your bumper or other places on your car, boat, plane, or military vehicle.  Perhaps you know of some troops in Iraq who might want some!

Event Description:

The impeachment event on April 9th is fleshing out to become one heck of a gathering. At this meeting, we will be discussing three important things. The program of the event, The impeachment resolution to city council, and the Distribution of flyers (outreach).

Event Description:

Speak Out!

The Bush Agenda. Understanding It. Stopping It.

The world faces a grave emergency. The very nature of U.S. society and its relationship to other countries are being reshaped in horrific ways before our eyes. Yet the full implications of these sweeping changes are not widely understood, even among those who oppose the Bush administration. This must change and resistance must grow.

Event Description:

Come join us in impeaching Bush, Cheney, Rice, Gonzales, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, et. al.

Some of the factors we have discussed at past meetings include:

1.    It is important to put forth the message to subsequent administrations that the reason for this impeachment is war.  (Not sex scandals, hotel burglaries, etc.)    Solutions for lasting peace require that our public servants understand that Americans do not tolerate war.

2.    Impeachment efforts can work hand in hand with other groups toward this common goal.

3.    There is a need for fundraising (see the Impeachment Fiesta committee meetings in this calendar) and for public education on the need for impeachment.

Picture showing some of the signs in the "Impeach Bush/End Iraq Occupation" themes

The "Surge Smurge" sign was displayed to south bound traffic one morning although this direction is much better for evening. The amount of display area is smaller because of the road signs attached to the bridge.

Morning drive time. One sign shown to north bound traffic from a Gulf Freeway pedestrian bridge just south of the Loop 610. Although traffic is dense here, this site is not as interactive as blogging over the Southwest Freeway.

Event Description:

Join us for our January meeting. It will be a planning and networking meeting. We'll be following up on plans to have a public video screening and discussion, and also hash out some details about contacting local groups that support impeachment, like Veterans For Peace and Progressive Action Alliance.

Event Description:

This is a followup to the Nov. 9 PAA meeting where we discussed ideas for promoting impeachment and getting the US out of Iraq. We'll meet after the ACLU fundraiser movie "Shut Up & Sing" about the Dixie Chicks and their treatment after they spoke up about Bush (see http://www.paa-tx.org/node/2424 for info on that movie) at Mykonos Restaurant (Greek food and more) to continue the discussions we started Nov. 9. Those who are not coming to the movie are welcome to come early and have dinner (or dessert, or just something to drink) and discuss what you'd like to do to for impeachment and bringing the troops home.

Event Description:

The smell of impeachment and peace are in the air, and we want to do our part to get more people thinking about it. Bring those political yard signs you yanked up after the election, along with large pieces of cardboard or old sheets, and join us as we convert them into signs promoting getting out of Iraq, and impeachment. This will go on regardless of weather, in Bill & Cheryl Crosier's peace sign-painting laboratory (garage).
