With the original First Amendment "Freedom of Speech" looking on, admirers of the U.S. Constitution in the Washington D.C. National Archives Building today were ordered to leave for wearing tee-shirts reading "Impeach Bush and Cheney." Many of the tourist-activists were in town to hail the arrival of impeachment marcher John Nirenberg, the 61 year-old college professor who has just walked from Boston to D.C. to call attention to the need for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.

In a telephone interview, one of the participants, Susan Serpa, age 56, told me she was looking at the displays when a female security guard approached her and said "You need to go speak to that man over there" indicating a burly security guard. When Serpa asked why, the woman said: "Your shirt." Serpa's shirt reads on the front: "Impeach Bush and Cheney, Change History." On the reverse it says: "MaineImpeach.org."

Another nail in our coffin ... it's way past time that we did more than write letters, phone, email our so-called representatives, and when we visit them in person we should not even try being polite - it's past the polite stage - bring torches, pitch-forks and plenty of rope!

1. Two things...

One, if there's still time, I implore you to get rid of the apostrophe in the Jefferson quote. It doesn't belong there. :)

And the article says nothing about "arrest." The thread title is misleading.

2. Thanks for pushing so hard for impeachment, Hillary!

You've helped the right atmosphere to flourish -- one of freedom, where all may state their opinion without fear.

3. Why give this a false subject?

No one was arrested.

Just the fact that someone was booted from an exhibit is bad enough.
