Campaigns galore are shaping up to keep the new Democratic Congress in
contact with the grassroots regarding the War and Impeachment. A National
Mobilization - including more than a dozen Humboldters representing Mike
Thompson’s district - will be descending on Washington DC on the weekend of
Jan.27-29. On Saturday Jan. 27 San Francisco will also be kicking things
off with a march set for noon at Powell and Market. People will be
carpooling from the Redway P.O. at 7 am. ( Call 986-7218 or 923-4488 for
more info.) Simultaneously, in Eureka, protesters will gather at the County
Courthouse at 11 am for a county-wide day of demonstrating and marching.
(Carpools will leave from Redway at 9:30 am.)
When the DC protesters descend on the Halls of Congress on Monday
Jan.29, regional protesters will return to Thompson’s offices on 3rd St in
Eureka at 10 am and N. Main in Fort Bragg. We are calling on Thompson to
leave his Blue Dog Dixiecrat cronies behind, becoming #76 in the Out of Iraq
NOW Caucus and act as well to put Impeachment of Cheney-Bush back on the
table. Carpools from Southern Humboldt will be leaving for Eureka at 8:30
am from the Redway P.O. for the Monday event. (Info on Ft. Bragg events,
including a Jan 27 march: 937-4352)
