On Sunday, December 30 at Independence Mall at 1:00 PM, groups from Philadelphia and South Jersey gathered to demonstrate their commitment to John Nirenberg’s “March in my Name” 485 mile trip from Boston to Nancy Pelosi’s office in Washington DC.

John Nirenberg of Brattleboro, VT, started his walk on December 1st from Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA to gather petitions for the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney, along with spurring attention to the dire Constitutional crisis we face. “We voted for change in 2006,” Nirenberg says, “but the Democrats aren’t doing what we elected them to do. The war goes on; the torture continues. Torture!

Can you believe we actually discuss water-boarding, and the ‘legality’ of beating prisoners until they’re just short of organ failure and death? And what about suspending the right of habeas corpus? And of conducting illegal spying on American citizens? What has happened to this country? And why have we let it? The Bush/Cheney administration must be held accountable for their unquestionable ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ and their complete disregard for the U.S. Constitution. That’s why I’m marching from Boston to Washington, D.C. I want more Americans to become aware of this appalling situation — and to know that we can do something about it.”

Nirenberg has been met by numerous rallies encouraging him along the way , including New Haven, CT; Providence, RI; Manhattan; Jersey City, Trenton and many more, emphasizing the growing numbers in this country desiring that justice be served and our rights restored.

In Philly, David Lindorff, co-author of “The Case for Impeachment”, Bill Perry – Delaware Valley Vets for Peace and others presented their assessments of Pelosi’s stance of Impeachment being “off the table”.
