More than 1,000 people gathered yesterday at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to spell out the message "IMPEACH!"

"America is a great country," said event organizer Brad Newsham. "But President Bush has betrayed our faith. He misled us into a disastrous war, and is trampling on our Constitution. He has to go. Now. I hope Nancy Pelosi is listening today."

Ocean Beach is located in the congressional district of Pelosi, the new speaker of the House.

The event is being talked about on Internet messageboards with comments including:

• We had a lot of fun, felt proud, and met a bunch of really nice people. I told my son we were doing the work of citizens. There's no better way to spend a morning.

• I'm impressed and heartened by this event. In this dark era of supposed political apathy, all the good people who made it happen showed the spririt of activism that gives me hope for the future of America.

• Impeach Bush and then what? Cheney becomes president. It will take a year to impeach Bush which will leave one year left over with Cheney as president. What did you accomplish? I'd rather have the Dems work on getting us health care, environmental protection and increase sexual and gender education in the schools to put an end to this population out of control. Further, they should open the investigation into the attacks on September 11th and see if Bush was complicit in any way. Then you won't have to worry about impeachment. This was just another San Francisco street event held by wealthy white people that did nothing to change anything. It just felt good for them, which in the end is all that matters to these people.
