Last week we did a reading at Philly City Hall, and happy to report it was a resounding success.
The people of Philly are demanding our Constitution be restored.
Philly proudly boasts,
not only was the Declaration of Independence signed in Pennsylvania State House
and George Washington received his commission as Commander of the Continental Army,
but also 221 years ago on Sept. 17, 1787 the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written there
..
a city steeped richly in the historical development of this nation....now the residents of Philly and people from across this nation, are challenging City Hall to reestablish the basic fundamentals of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Philadelphians say " It was founded here ..and we want it back!!!"

We have two goals for this event:
1) educate the public on the Bush administration crimes, and their lasting ramifications to our rights, plus the need for Congress to push for an 11th hour impeachment.
2) In addition, give people of Philadelphia, the opportunity to sign the petition in support of a resolution before the Philadelphia City Council.
The theme/focus, of the event, is for participating activist organizations
-
to depict certain Articles of the Resolution presented by Dennis Kucinich on June 9, 2008 on the floor of Congress, as a detailed explanation of the action/crime spelled out in that resolution, and what resulted from that crime, and its long-lasting effect on our democracy. Note: Kucinich's articles of impeachment detail many crimes, including lying about the Iraq threat, disobeying the Geneva Convention rules, torturing, spying on citizens, and inaction in response to Hurricane Katrina.
-
For other groups who do not support impeachment, we would like for them to use their table to display materials expressing their issues of concern, reflecting the pain the Bush administration has caused over the past 8 years to their cause.
-
The day's events will culminate in a discussion between our renowned guest speakers and Philadelphia City Council in an effort to persuade them to pass the resolution before them.
Philadelphia is the 6th largest city in the country, consisting largely of a progressive population making it a perfect location to follow the examples set forth by scores of municipalities and cities across America, who've already enacted resolutions for impeachment of Bush/Cheney... Besides Philly is where the foundation of our government was formed, a fact the residents hold dear and it should reclaim its place in history by demanding restoration to the Bill of Rights by impeaching Bush and Cheney. Currently, a resolution before City Council concerns this just demand.
There is a growing number of people of conscience, who know they must do something to diminish the legacy of Bush/Cheney. They know that voting in a new leader will do nothing to erase the damage done by the current administration, nor from future administrations expanding their powers based on the actions of this administration.
Your organization, along with more than 30 others, will have the opportunity to have a table at the park to lay out your particular concerns and/or illustrate one of Kucinich's articles of impeachment against Bush.
Informative activities, food, and music, in addition to rousing speeches, will draw people to this event and past your table.
If you chose to participate, your organization's name will be added to our brochure. To reserve a space for your organization at Not in Our Name call 856-873-3260 or email ProgressiveDemocracySoJersey@.... Space is granted on a first-come-first-served basis.
