Elaine Brower and 3 other World Can’t Wait activists arrested at IMPEACHMENT SIT-IN at Congressman Nadler’s office
\n The Bush Regime has now been caught lying about Iran, destroying the taped evidence of its torture of prisoners \u00cb\u2020 blatantly impeachable offenses, and much more. Yet what major candidate is even talking about stopping torture and repealing the new laws codifying it? What major candidate is supporting impeachment of these criminals? It is up to the people to act. Today 10 people sat in in the Brooklyn office of Jerold Nadler, a key member of the House Judiciary Committee that could initiate impeachment hearings — yet Nadler has joined Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Party leaders in declaring impeachment off the table. Protesters demanded to talk with Congressman Nadler to express the sentiment of millions that Bush & Cheney should be impeached for their crimes. On behalf of the Congressmen, his aids refused to even let the protesters talk to Nadler on the phone and instead threatened them with arrest. At 5:00 PM four women protesters were arrested, and as of now they are still being held at the 60th Precinct (West 8th Street & Surf Avenue) in Coney Island. We have heard, not yet confirmed, that they will be charged with criminal trespass. We demand their immediate release and that all charges be dropped. The criminals are in the White House. Just before their arrest, they were interviewed by New York 1, WBAI Evening News and the Thom Hartmann show on Air America. Press reports on the sit-in and arrest can be found at:<\/p>\n
