While down in Atlanta, they do it with candles:

(APN) ATLANTA – About 20 Atlanta activists met at sundown at Freedom Park to spell out the word IMPEACH with an array of candles on a hill at a major intersection, Freedom Parkway and Moreland Avenue.

So for about 90 minutes, motorists and pedestrians coming from at least three different directions got a message: impeach.


The event completed a day of impeachment rallies and marches in Atlanta and indeed nationwide. In Atlanta, activists met to rally at Freedom Park at 11am, and later marched as the impeachment contingent in the annual Inman Park Parade, a local community parade.

Numerous cars honked in support this evening. One man walking by stopped to get a closer look.

"What are you trying to spell out?" he asked.

"Impeach," one activist replied.

"Hell yeah," he said back.

One Atlanta resident stopped by to find out more about what was going on. "I drove by and was like that was so cool. It looks amazing from the street," Erin Routson said.

"I thought [the events] were really great. We definitely put the whole thing out there," Tracie Stern of Atlanta World Can't Wait said.

Protester Nick Prakash with World Can't Wait said he was there "to get the word out on impeaching Bush. He think's he's God or King. He thinks he's absolute. Abu Ghraib, the Iraq war, a possible Iranian War. Stealing two elections, contempt for the Constitution, getting rid of habeus corpus," he said.

"They committed a conspiracy of fraud against the American people," activist Gloria Tatum said of Bush's deceptive case to invade Iraq.
