Activist takes message to Capitol -- Impeachment March
http://www.reformer.com/headlines/ci_7391450


BRATTLEBORO -- John Nirenberg is not your typical Brattleboro activist. He doesn't wave signs, attend vigils or journey to Montpelier in a bumper sticker-adorned Prius.

But on Dec. 2, Nirenberg is outdoing them all.

The self-described "60-year-old, slightly overweight, believer in the system" plans to walk along Route 1 from Boston to Washington, D.C., advocating for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

"I decided I had to do something, and this is the result," Nirenberg said. "What changes? Who knows? Maybe nothing. But maybe other people will see this sad old guy making a walk. Maybe they'll make a phone call, and every phone call will help."

2. If he really wants press, he should march naked.
So should everyone.

We have to fight stupid with stupid.

6. He wouldn't make it two blocks naked.
But I still like the idea.

Eventually I want all of America to get naked, it won't be all pretty but it'll be very liberating.
