Impeachment Flash Mob


Monday, August 28, 4:30pm - 6:30pm
West end of Sellwood Bridge
Sponsor: Democracy for America
True Brew Democracy for America Monday flash mobs are an opportunity for psyops FOR progressives and AGAINST neocons. You can brighten the day of Bush badgered bourgeoisie and blue collar workers! See the smiles, waves and honks from the many kindred spirits who see you holding a sign calling for IMPEACHMENT! See them recognize the spirit of liberty from my Ben Franklin costume.
Watch the few purple faced neocons as their blood pressure boils to dangerous levels from seeing someone with the audacity to call for impeachment of THEIR president!
Our efforts keep the spirit of democracy alive. The impeachment movement is gaining momentum. Any time you can spare between 4:30 and 6:30 PM Monday will help. Your effort could make the critical difference in the future of the world!
