A coalition of antiwar and veterans’ groups met in Philadelphia on Saturday to announce plans to mobilize a national movement to impeach President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. A national Impeachment Day has been called for December 10. Activists are urging grassroots groups to set up impeachment lobbying offices in every congressional district. Speakers on Saturday included Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey died in Iraq.

Cindy Sheehan: “Right now, at this minute, we have to start calling the offices of John Conyers, Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, Steny Hoyer, Harry Reid, your congressperson, and start saying, 'We want accountability.'”

Sheehan criticized the Democratic leadership for saying impeachment is off the table. Meanwhile, a new poll from Newsweek has found that President Bush’s approval rating has dropped to a new low of 31 percent.
