This morning more than a thousand people gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach to spell out a message to our Representative Nancy Pelosi that the criminals in the White House should be impeached. It turned out to be a clear sunny and not-too-cold day, perfect for a fun little demonstration.
The organizer, a nice cabdriver/ world traveler/ author/ activist named Brad Newsham, did a good job in putting it together. We lay down, got up, waved, walked to the seawall, walked back and lay down again, and finally filed off to the shoreline on cue while some photos and video were shot from a helicopter. Two TV stations sent news gangs including another helicopter. ABC-7 just led off with it in their evening news — we looked great! — and followed up with an “expert” who droned that unfortunately we can’t impeach a president for incompetence. Yeah yeah yeah, what about the crimes?
The first batch of pictures are here. You can see my daughter’s day-glow orange mittens about a third of the way down on the second stroke of the M!
FANTASTIC PHOTOS, LIL!!! Those just brought the biggest smile to my face, thank you for sharing them with us here. And THANK YOU from the bottom of my bleeding liberal heart for being there! paz
Thank you Lil!

This is one of the few smile-worthy public events I’ve seen in a while. I hope it’s the first of many, so much that the topic cannot be ignored.
I loved the pictures. And that Osama and Bush sign was great.
Indeed. The size of the thing was hard to take in. So great they had the TV coverage. Even our horrible “video of the day” station might pick it up. they sure wouldn’t be reporting on anything else that’s important!
May a thousand beaches bloom! Apparently AP has asked for permission to use the pictures. Yay! Let’s spread the I-word — Brad the instigator of the Beach Impeach project says “please tell anyone that they are free to use [the photos] as long as photo credit is given to JOHN MONTGOMERY, our amazing photographer.
Might I add that it is a very handsome M that you do make! 😉
Hi Lil, I was happy to see this covered on local news in socal this morning…yay to you and the group, good job.
Lil! Thanks so much for showing us this marvelous gathering on the beach. Maybe we can get something like this going here in SoCal.
I hope so! If anyone wanted advice or maybe a lead on a helicopter I bet Brad would be a good resource — his phone number is on the website — I called him to talk about something on the website and he was really nice.
