The WA State Senate staged a non-event this week as the legislative session drew to a close, but a band of pro-impeachment agitators stubbornly appeared again to demonstrate for their cause. No TV reporters or cameras bothered with this one.Howie P.S.: More great photos here.
These were what Washbloggers call "regular people" of all ages, with no stilt-walkers, puppets, green mohawks or Communists in evidence, although Guantanamo-orange jumpsuits, hats, shirts and vests were the attire of solidarity.
Here's how the Olympian described it:
Protestors Want Action Against Bush
Senator Eric Oemig, sponsor of the pro-impeachment Resolution 8016, met with us afterwards. He told us that the reason the senate did ANYTHING that day was: "We better do something, there are people with orange jumpsuits out there."
I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
