CODEPINK Women for Peace and Breasts Not Bombs Pressure Pelosi and Hillary to be Stronger Leaders

WHAT: Creative Action
WHEN: 12:00pm Monday July 23, 2007 San Francisco Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco
4:00pm Monday July 23, 2007 Hillary for President San Francisco Office Opening, 1122 Howard Street – Top Floor, San Francisco
WHO: CODEPINK Women for Peace and Breast Not Bombs
VISUALS: Pink Banners, Signs, Topless Protest

Women peace groups make an urgent plea to Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton to take immediate action in response to the ongoing indecent and illegal behavior of the Bush administration.

“We want to invoke for them the feminine priorities of nurturing, safety, and justice,” explains Sherry Glaser of Breasts Not Bombs. “The American people are tired of the rising body count and spending $1.8 billion a week on the war in Iraq, and they have made clear their priorities are the health and well being of this nation.”

The groups also choose this form of political theater to symbolize the vulnerability of the Iraqi people, US soldiers, and women and children everywhere, and to represent a culture of nurturance.

They will visit Nancy Pelosi’s office on Monday July 23, 2007 at 12:OOpm and the opening of Clinton’s Hillary for President San Francisco office at 4:00pm.

“Last November voters gave a mandate for peace to the new Congress, but Congress, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi, has not done enough to end the war, and neither has Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton,” says Vicki Leidner of CODEPINK San Francisco, “As women peacemakers we have a special responsibility to ensure that women in power are representing us.”

“We take our lead from women throughout history who have used creative nonviolent actions to reveal the undeniable power of the feminine,” adds Margaret Howe of Breasts not Bombs.

  1. Bush stop attacking the poor Pakistani people, stop the bomb attacks against them. Stop the Indians from killing the people in pakistan.

  2. The illumantai are the ones causeing the USA to supply money to the RAW in India and Indian spies then cause bomb blasts in Pakistan. These Indian spies are fighting in Swat and FATA. The USA and India needs to stop doing these indecent acts and then they blame it all on the extremist. Who are these pseudo extremist they are just a creation of CIA. Please call your congressman and write to the white house to stop funding money to the Indian secret police RAW , so the bomb attacks in Pakistan can stop.

  3. Hello everyone, i was surfing the web and found your little site and im not what you would call a big political person nor do i consider myslef liberal/conservative/or choose any political group to side with but i am very active towards ppl who spout crap that has no research behind what they say to back it up, now since some ppl in here are offensive im going to point some facts out to (and ill put this in words for those that have a hard time understanding things so that you ) imu gunna edgumacate u, mainly because ive got a stepmother and a father who spouts the same crap that their families fed them when they were young

    and since im typing fast for this Im not going to bother with proper punctuation or fixing errors if i forget any because im so used to using forums in which i leave out most punctation, so please excuse me for that and i might skip around to different things in paragraphs so i hope you dont get confused

    its interesting to see that you all have your own in depth opinions about things which i do respect but clint i didn’t want to read any more of that bullshit you keep spouting, i stopped reading after the 11th post because your obviously a dumb ass when it comes to reading up on diseases not to mention you also believe that big ass of a stereotype that homosexuals are the main cause of aids when the factored amount of homosexuals with aids is a drop in the bucket when compared with every aids infected person in the world.

    Now aside from that Ive seen some pretty offensive things said about other hot topics like against islamic believers all because of the terrorists twisted version of the islamic faith which from what believers of the real islamic faith are very much against it not to mention quite pissed, and to those that say kick them out well a certain Muslim group or organization(i have forgotten its name since i read about it a year ago) after 9/11 was very adamant towards clearing the name of islam and if i remember correctly they have also stated that they would like to help the US in any way they can including tracking down terrorists inside the country if its within their ability, and you say you want to kick them out when they have done nothing wrong?

    and to anyone that thinks all Muslims are evil well take your uneducated ass out and go watch a movie called The Kingdom which i really loved because of how the director shows and portrays the Muslim characters and the Islamic faith, and it doesnt hurt that it has a good story and characters

    Next towards the comments about kicking out the Mexican illegal immigrants or “spics” as clint in comment 5 i believe, who believes what his family tells him instead of thinking things through like a competent person, the US would love to do that clint but the problem is that its quite troublesome kicking them out when they will just come back, now im not really much against illegal immigration because they are coming here for a good cause which is to help support their families back home and America has always had many names but one for immigrants has always held true which is land of dreams and America was built on immigrants practically and not to mention sadly it was also built using slavery in its early years, so overall this illegal immigrant problem is like the tides, you deport some of them and like hide tide they just come back so this is never really going to become solved.

    well anyways im kinda tired from typing and again sorry if i left out fixing errors and punctaion though i hope i pointed out some interesting things even though im just an 18 year old American living in Virginia i do actually look into things and research them instead of listening to the news which is controlled by politcal parties or the government or listen what my family tells me to beleive and siding with them like what some families have imprinted into their kids to beleive when they were young, from what i can tell the worlds has a lot of problems to solve too bad educating ppl with proper information regarding certain topics is not one of them

    ah well im finished so im gonna go grab me some Pumpkin Spice Pound cake and watch some Anime(for those that dont know thats usually a quicker way for most fans to say and recognize Japanese animation)

  4. I think you’re all really missing the boat. If Jesus wanted to win over the world with war he would not have had to die. There was bloodshed but it was his own. There is a war for the hearts and minds of this world to lean towards violence and hatred and it seems all of you are loosing miserably. With all of your name calling how could you think you are getting anywhere. The battle has already been won. I know my God and he knows my name. He was there when my life began and he’ll be there when it ends. Maybe when you all wake up from your self imposed slavery to the so called american dream the world will be a better place . My home is not here on this earth and my God is my rock and my shield. Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die. I sit back and laugh at your pathetic arguments as do many. Sure carry on with your rambling and your hatred speech. You are all three the same you just don’t know it. Humanity is an evil race. Every time you point your finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Care to write- [email protected]

  5. Mikael,

    You are a poor lost sole who I doubt even knows the meaning of the word Christian,Your ramblings show that, It also shows YOUR ignorance. Remember 911? I doubt it, You talk about peace, Well remember who attacked who, Mabey you should move over there and be happy, you would fit in quite nicely. If you want to come to this country legally, be a Law abiding citizen and pay your taxes then fine, But if not and your mission is to spread hate and disrespect then you should be dammed. Who is the RACISTS, Mabye you should look in the mirror, unless of course you are afraid to. We will see who perseveres, I will be looking down on you.

  6. Kim, Kim, Kim…

    I am very sorry that you are incapable of seeing through your brainwashing by Soul-less corporatist Rupert Murdoch-owned and political hack Roger Ailes-manipulated FAUXNews…

    Since you have sworn your blind allegiance to your idol FAUXNews and bow down before their lies every day and every night, you deserve the ignorance you are getting.

    Thank you for praying for me. I am a Christian, but I am a Christian who believes in the Prince of Peace rather than the ‘Jesus with an M-16 using Irradiated Uranium and other nuclear weapons’ that you and your friend Clint pray to. Do you pray every day that more Iraqi schoolchildren will suffer as this illegal war of aggression and occupation that you love is continued six months, a year, five years?

    Oh how you love to hear of their arms and legs and throats being blown apart by the war of opportunity your beloved President started at the behest of his crony war-profiteering partners. Keep cheering on this tragedy. Keep voting for the fascists and the war-profiteers. “Yay killing!” says Kim. “Hurrah for murder and bloodshed” says Kim. Death to all the brown-skinned children!” says Kim.

    This article was posted 2 months ago. There were 3 comments in the first month, then a month went by before you and Clint decided together to start posting on it. Interesting that you both started posting on the same day, isn’t it? Just a coincidence….?

    Keep commenting here. It is best that hypocritical pseudo-Christians such as yourself are revealed for who you are: war-mongers, rascists, bigots and hate-filled, bloodthirsty anti-Christs.

    Repent of your lust for blood and war.
    Repent of your hatred for those less fortunate than we Americans.
    Repent of your vile, selfish “kill everyone else so I can have a better life” existence.
    Repent.
    Repent.
    Repent.

  7. If you wernt so blind you might be able to see reality, you are pathetic, I know, only your views and thoughts are right and ours are not, Like I said earlier, I will Pray for you because boy you need it….. I can understand why you havent had a post for a month, You are right Fox News Rocks….. And is alot more fair and balanced than you….

  8. Kim/Clint,

    You say you are a supporter of ‘rights’ yet complain about those of us who are doing everything within our power to protect and restore your Constitutionally protected rights and liberties.

    You say: “We own and bear arms ourselves and I DARE ANYONE to try and take our rights and Freedoms away…… “. The Bush Administration with the aiding and abetting of the Republican 109th Congress as well as mixed support by the Democratic 110th Congress has taken away just about every Right, Liberty and Freedom you assume you still have. What are you doing about it?

    If you are anti-ACLU then you are ignorant of the great historic role the ACLU has played for decades in fighting for your civil rights and liberties.

    Let me guess…

    You think FoxNews is ‘fair & balanced’? You are being brainwashed.

    [Editor’s note to all readers of this thread… Do you think it is a coincidence that not a single person comments on this post for a solid month and then Clint and Kim work together to push the Bush Agenda ON THE VERY SAME DATE WITHIN TWO HOURS OF EACH OTHER??!?!?]

    You would think these trolls would be a little smarter than that, wouldn’t you?]

  9. Clint,

    You are a dangerous and diseased human being.

    And you are in denial about your homosexuality and your bigotry is pathetic and very sad. I am sorry you are so blinded so as not to be able to accept your fellow human beings for who they are.

    I will be calling the FBI concerning your threats against me in earlier posts.

  10. To Whom it may concern;
    I am not homophobic,I just think that the gays have to much power in this Country,they make up less that 1% of the population,so why don’t they all go back to there dirty little closets and wack off or something.They promote AIDS and should be killed for that,they also run Hollywood,and everything to do with SMUT in this Country.Death to the Gay movement.
    As far as you feeling threatened,I said nothing threatening,believe me,after going through a 7yr.custody battle with a Liberal ex-wife,I know what I can say,and when.You are only offended because you Liberals base your whole belief system on feelings,I don’t want any physical harm done to you Mikael,I just want you GONE,GONE from Society.
    Also,I stated several times that I am against all politicians,so how could I be for Bush,he should be gone as well.
    If he would have done his job right,he would of wage an AIR ASSAULT{tactical nukes}on Sadman,Iran,North Korea,Saudi Arabia,and about a half dozen other Arab country’s,now were talking.We are the most Powerful Country in the World,it’s about time we start acting like one.

    Sincerely,Clint.

  11. I am a married women of 25 yrs. with a daughter and a business of my own, my husband is a construction worker and we pay our taxes, even my 16 yr. old daughter, we are educated and would be considered middle class, We believe in our rights and will guard them with our lives. As for our soldiers, Well God Bless them, they are defending our rights and Freedoms with there lives, The Mikaels of this world should be ashamed of themselves and if the time ever comes I’m sure they will be hiding behind the guns of our soldiers with there tails tucked. I live in Montana and many people here believe the same as us. So as for you Mikael’s I will pray for you, you need all the help you can get. Clint, I would gladly have your back and let the LOSERS have there own….. We own and bear arms ourselves and I DARE ANYONE to try and take our rights and Freedoms away…… GOD BLESS AMERICA……

  12. Clint,

    In your very first paragraph you reveal yourself to be homophobic, which is a common sign of someone working to suppress their own homosexual urges. Your arguments would be stronger if you didn’t start off immediately revealing yourself to be a bigot.

    One simple truth you miss entirely:

    You say: “I am a believer in the Constitution” yet are a supporter of the Bush Administration, which has waged a comprehensive assault on every freedom and liberty that document was written to protect. The fact that you don’t understand the hypocrisy of those two facts reveals you to be incapable of even the most simplistic cognitive comprehension.

    One final thing, by threatening to do me bodily harm you and encouraging ‘Kim’ to do the same you have broken the law. As a moderator of this site I have access to your computer I.D. and internet routing numbers. I will be passing your identity along to the FBI on Monday morning.

  13. Well Mikael,I’m not sure if you sound intelligent or just queer,but I’d like to respond anyway.

    I was born in Pennsylvania, same as 40 other relatives,I am middle class,educated through high school,lived in Seattle 18 yrs. Arizona 20+yrs.I’m self employed,worked 10 months last year,filed taxes for almost six figures,have a Wonderful Daughter/ex wife.
    I am a believer in the Constitution and the law of the land,which has been deviated time and time again by the Liberal Left since the early 60’s,I own a litany of guns and ammo,and are very good with them,you never know,I might be guarding your back some day.
    My Twin Brother was in the Marines,my Father in the Army,an older brother in the Air force,my Father went up the beach on Normandy and survived,So when I see these people protesting the war/Soldiers,I just want to beat the shit out of them,man or woman,this is where I believe freedom of speech should end.Our family is very patriotic,so when we see the way our leaders are running this Country,we feel obligated to helping in the fight to ERADICATE these Criminals from our Society,and the only way to do that is to form an Alliance that will be radical enough to eliminate the corrupt at what ever means,starting with the Liberal Loser Lawyers in the A.C.L.U.
    They should be hung on live t.v. so as the People in this Country know that we mean to stop the Evil Democracy in America.What a vision!

    I am for no party,or third party,and anyone playing that game needs to wake up to there “CORRUPTION”! Talk about ignorant people.
    I’m for the true Patriots of this Country,the real “REPUBLIC” but after reading your response Mikael,I now see why America is losing the battle,you are very wrong to think the way you do,and half the country has your ignorant illness.
    If you don’t understand the fact that America has not won a war since the 2nd.world war,{thanks to people who think like you} and that we have been reduced down to a spineless Liberal entity,that we can’t even kill a Loser like OBL,or Kim Jung Ill,or even that rat boy in Iran,why,because all the politicians are in bed with these LOSERS,why,$$$$$$

    As far as Kim goes,she is a SAINT,just another shy one,a typical American who is afraid to be more radical,we can’t get America back by being afraid or spineless,I think 911 #2 will have to happen before we,the true Americans come together and rid American soil of these pathetic losers like Mikael,who seem to know just how we all think and live,and know what is best for us,more government,KILL government and all it’s wasteful robots.
    Your paranoid thoughts are amusing Mikael,sounds like you need a little education on the subject of History,and that is that History repeats itself,and America can’t seem to learn from that,so when these Radical Muslims come to rally on American soil to take us over,I hope you don’t reach out for my hand to help/save you,I’ll cut it off to feed to my Wolf pups,for I will be the strong one,the true surviver,unlike you pathetic Liberal Losers who can’t admit your wrong,who live by feelings instead of truth.
    After the dust settles from 911#2,there will be a great Massacre,the DEATH of all the People I’ve been talking about,and you know who will be doing all the Killing,Patriots like Kim and I.

    Back to Kim again,where do you live Kim? Perhaps it’s close enough to Mikael house,since you are a new identity created by me,and you work for me,maybe you can poison him for me.

    Always remember one thing you Mikael’s of the world,the true enemy within America is you,the always wrong,will never be right LIBERAL LOSERS.
    Back at you SPANKY.
    P.S.The only intelligent,educated,and aware readers on this site,are people who agree with me.

    Clint.

  14. Kim is most likely a troll paid for the corporatist elite whose only ‘job’ is to slime around the internet and push the propaganda in a vain attempt to convince the mindless that Bush and Cheney are something other than imperialistic, tyrannical, ammoral heathen that they are.

    ‘Kim’ may be just a new identity created by ‘Clint’ to agree with him or her or itself to further attempt to sway the weak-minded over to support fascism.

    Or Kim may really be that stupid.

    The sure way to find out is to see if either of them respond to this comment and actually identify themselves as individuals from a particular state with a particular job, families and lives, etc.

    If they don’t every respond, that is a sure sign that they are simple-minded ‘hit and runners’ who have no actual opinions or orginal ideas – just those that they are paid to promote.

    Armstrong Williams anyone?

    Kim and/or Clint = disgusting wastes of oxygen.

  15. Clint,

    I would reply to your vitriolic rant, but I rest assured that the intelligent, educated and aware readers of this site can recognize that your ignorance and pathetically juvenile and mindless opinions and attitudes speak for themselves.

    … and keep that toe tapping underneath the bathroom stalls going!!!

  16. You LIBERAL LOSERS need to be impeached,6ft. under ground!!

    This is for the “BLIND’ and “ARROGANT” editor:

    Forget about all the wrong our politicians on both sides ofthe fence are doing,when are the SPINELESS true Americans going to get RADICAL enough to start are own Jihad against the TRUE ENEMY in AMERICA,which is,the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT/alias,DEMON-RATS!

    These so called Politicians have committed crimes warranting
    of there own BEHEADING,I’ll volunteer for the duty,I would be first in line.
    How do you know when Hillary is lying,when her MOUTH is moving!
    Bill Clinton- He should still be in prison,and getting it in the ASS on a daily basis,just for G.P.
    What a worthless LOSER/THIEF/KILLER!

    George Bush,well lets just say he was able to start a war,but he doesn’t know how to WIN a war,he should have dropped BOMBS instead of SOLDIERS,The only reason for troops is to go in after the smoke clears and identify the number of dead bodies.

    From: A TRUE AMERICAN that fights and stands for a REPUBLIC,not a Democracy.

    WAKE-UP AMERICA,86 the Illegal spics,kick out the MUSLIMS,EXECUTE the worthless CRIMINALS of all levels.Take back our COUNTRY NOW,or you will be a prisoner getting it in the ASS from the sick and perverted LEFT who will be in charge,but will have the Chinese doing there dirty work for them,right now the LIBERAL LOSER is doing there dirty work.

    One ILLEGAL away from becoming a homicidal killer,and praying for 911#2!Then maybe the JIHAD will start in this Country to ERADICATE the LEFTIST SCUM who PRAY upon it.

    “DEATH TO THE LEFT”
    “DEATH TO ISLAM”
    “DEATH TO THE A.C.L.U.”

    p.s. You know this is TRUE!

  17. You are all blooming idiots. If you wanted to get any attention at (outside of your little feminazi click) you would have hire pretty women with attractive breasts to model your commie crap…I mean are all you idiots lesbo and ugly? For cryin’ out loud put your energy into tattoo removal and liposuction…what ugly women you are. No wonder your all lesbos and isolationist freaks…you’re too damned ugly to hold a conversation with normal, intelligent, people. Do you realize your antics actually help the opposition? I’m tired of Democrats losing all the time in the big election because of crazies like you. So shut-up or at least scream with good loocking “front ladies” who have appealing breasts to show. Ugly is ugly but FUGLY is downright detrimental to the campaign. I’ll have nightmares for weeks now…I should have never looked! That big ugly amazon she-male with breasts and tattoos…what the hell were you thinking letting it take its shirt off?

    crazy lesbians…mad cause they don’t have a penis and want to try and prove they can be tough…hilarious.

  18. Hello!

    Will you please consider adding a photo from the ‘Nude Breasts’ protest to NoComment News at http://nocommentnews.com ? The idea of NoComment News is to show in pictures what’s happening around the world. Impeach Bush for Peace blog could really contribute a lot to let people know and see the process.

    Thank you!
    Natalie

  19. Editor, I know this is to long, would you write an opinion. Thanks Larry.

    August Red Alert!!
    August 20, the criminals are meeting in Montebello, Quebec to act on the plot to overthrow the U.S.A and destroy our Constitution.
    Carry signs with Traitor, Impeach, or Treason printed on them.

    Impeach Bush! -North America Union- is Treason! News snuffed, Secret deal!! U.S.A ends 2010.
    Lying King George behind our backs and under the smoke of his own war has given the United States his legacy of Treason.
    The North America Union is being implemented without Congress consent or without any public vote or comment. North America Union replaces our Democratic Republic, United States of America; it will be fully implemented in 2010. When our soldiers come home from war, they will return to North America Union, not the United States of America, how are you going to explain that to them? King George has ruled that the U.S.A be abolished!!
    This is it folks, every American who has ever pledged their Allegiance to the Flag, every American who has pledged to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, has to step forward. Now!
    Demand your elected representatives to control this dictator and to bring him and his conspirators to Justice for Treason.
    Demand your Congress representatives to confirm their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. Mark any neo-con Republican or Democrat who side with Bush and his North American Union as Traitors and run them out of office!! Now!
    July 4, 2007
    -A Patriot’s Message- The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end (2010).
    The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer, investor and environment protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements” like Social Security and health care.
    The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; N.A.U; immigration; globalization and “free trade”; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing” with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
    The ideal corporate model is “Communism” where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
    Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own the “U.S.A” resulting in “Globalization” and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!

    Lawrence Baker (your name)
    (Your Congress representatives)
    Sen. Boxer
    Sen. Feinstein
    Rep. Eshoo
    All representatives- We are starting a list. I demand that you reaffirm your allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and begin impeachment procedure against Bush, Cheney for Treason. If you do not, you will be branded a traitor. You’re either with U.S or against U.S.

    Impeaching Bush, Cheney would not only save and cleanse the U.S.A but also bring our citizens together. Once again Americans would have pride and respect for their country. Impeachment of these neo-con criminals would vindicate the U.S.A with the rest of the world.
    If these evil criminals win, they rule with slavery, secrecy, lies, fear, hate, torture, terror and violence.
    Our Founding Fathers knew that this element would always try to destroy the U.S.A that is why we have a Constitution to keep this element in check. After 2010, under N.A.U. rule (after the American people find out; neo-con corporate media guilty) there will be violence and a rebellion which will play into their hands, evil thrives in that environment. (Mexican or Chinese Army)
    What about the economy? (shake, shake) our economy is already destroyed, the economy is an inside game. We can compete as Americans, after we purge our government of the traitor politicians; do not let their defeatist strategy scare you. We can do it! All we need is enough courage. If you act today, it will happen tomorrow! If you do nothing, you deserve a dictatorship.
    DO IT NOW PEACEFULLY!!
