Impeachment Teach-In
If you'd rather focus on national issues Friday night, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), America's leading group of constitutional scholarship and activism, has developed a legal case for the impeachment of George W. Bush.
Now, in collaboration with Melville House Books and citizens across the United States, CCR is sponsoring a "National Teach-In." Here in Washington, the 30-minute, CCR-produced documentary "How to Impeach a President" will be screened, followed by a discussion with David Swanson and Steve Cobble, co-founders of AfterDowningStreet.org; Jamie Raskin, professor of constitutional law at The American University; Gael Murphy, co-founder of Code Pink: Women for Peace; and Andy Shallal, founder of Iraqi Americans for Peaceful Alternatives. A special guest will be online impeachment leader Kagro X, who will reveal his offline identity.
If you have a broadband connection, you can watch a 3 minute excerpt from "How to Impeach a President" below.
When: July 21, from 6 to 8 p.m. Where: Busboys and Poets (2021 14th St. NW) More Info: David Swanson at 202/329-7847, www.articlesofimpeachment.net
