This Sunday's Human Rights Day has been renamed "Human Rights and Impeachment Day," as groups hold rallies across the United States calling for President Bush and Vice President Cheney to be impeached. This Sunday marks the 58th anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"The purpose of the events is to organize people to lobby their Congress Members for investigations and impeachment and to lobby their local and state governments for resolutions in support of impeachment," Democrats.com co-founder Bob Fertik writes.
The rallies were "kicked off" yesterday at a New York City forum which featured former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, who served on the Judiciary Committee during Nixon's impeachment hearings, and anti-war "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed while serving in Iraq over two-and-a-half years ago. More on the story.
