If anyone can bring impeachment into the public discourse it is the very well-connected Moveon.org.

If you're impeachment-inclined please read the message below from activist/author/cab driver and Beach Impeach organizer Brad Newsham, about an effort to get MoveOn leaders to poll the membership about impeachment. With Brad's permission I am posting below an email I received from him today:

"LIKE MANY OF YOU, I am typically dubious about the usefulness of online petitions, but the one I'm about to ask you to sign is different. ...

As you probably know this Saturday is a national day of action for impeachment. Here's what's happening in your neighborhood. Please read on for news about some fun events you can join to help build the buzz.

To join in creating a giant living IMPEACH sign at the Washington Mall tomorrow, like the memorable Impeach at the Beach (see link for photos and video) in San Francisco a few weeks ago, be just east of the Washington Monument at 11:50 a.m. A photographer will be at the top of the monument to take pictures and it should be a great photo op for the news helicopters. See Gone By April 1 for more details.

An email from Brad Newsham the organizer of the San Francisco event who's planning the Mall action, is below.

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.

I just came from a conference about multicultural and international children's literature where I heard speaker after speaker, renowned authors all, relate stories of the difference public libraries made in their lives as they were growing up. Each speaker had in common a feeling in childhood that they were in some way outsiders. Each eventually found the miracle of a library where they were welcomed and their loneliness banished, at least while they could immerse themselves in stories. The books they read connected them to other people and places, and showed them they were not alone.
