The mainstream media may have pushed issues like impeachment and Barack Obama’s eligibility for the presidency off the newsstand, but they can’t push it off America’s highways and byways.
An organization called Overpasses for America (formerly known as Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment) is gearing up to take the message afresh to America’s motorists.
As WND reported, Overpasses for America raised a ruckus in October when they teamed up with truckers to roar into Washington, D.C., protesting what they describe as extra-constitutional actions of Congress and the president.
The group, founded in June 2013, is known for standing on highway overpasses across the country with signs openly calling for the removal of Obama from the White House for many reasons, among them his ineligibility for office, crimes committed during his tenure in the White House and multiple violations of the Constitution.
On March 28-29, Overpasses for America once again took to the overpasses and street corners of America for their 11th national protest, dubbed “Spring Break Out.”
Encouraged by successful rallies in Oklahoma, Florida and more, Overpasses for America is planning another wave of motorway protests on April 19, 2014, and pledge many more nationwide events throughout the year.
Protesters at the rallies typically carry signs and banners reminding America of Obama’s allegedly faked birth certificate, compounded by alleged impeachable offenses like the Benghazi scandal, the deaths of Navy SEALs in the Extortion 17 downing, the unconstitutional provisions of Obamacare, voter fraud and much more.
“The need for Obama’s removal from office extends well beyond his criminal actions,” the group asserted in a statement. “Obama and his collaborators must be made an example of for future generations of Americans and as a warning to future politicians that the American people are awake and are none too pleased with politics as usual across the nation.”
In addition to the 12th annual demonstration planned for April 19, Overpasses for America has announced it is teaming up with Operation American Spring, a Washington, D.C., event that begins on May 16. Organizers for the event plan to demand Obama and many members of Congress step down from their positions as the first step of returning to a Constitution-based government in our nation’s capital.
Overpasses for America isn’t the only major voice calling for impeachment of President Obama.
As WND reported, radio and TV host Glenn Beck has made similar demands, and WND has compiled a list of several members of Congress who have talked about impeachment as well.
Among those on the list are Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas; Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich.; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas; Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla.; Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa; and Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.
WND also has reported Watergate investigator Bob Woodward of the Washington Post compares Obama to Richard Nixon. And there’s a national petition that calls on Congress to immediately investigate the “unconstitutional and impeachable offenses” of Obama.
The petition encouraging Obama’s removal from office states: “Therefore, we the undersigned urge Congress to immediately undertake a full and impartial investigation into the many blatantly unconstitutional actions of Barack Obama. For members of Congress, each of whom has also sworn a solemn oath to uphold the Constitution, to allow a president to routinely flout the Supreme Law of the land without being held accountable is equally repugnant to a free country and a free press.”
Tens of thousands already are on board with the effort, which is just the latest in a long string of calls for impeachment or an investigation.
Impeachment also has been brought up by several WND columnists.
Nat Hentoff wrote that Obama, “since taking office, has continually limited the First Amendment, the most singular and powerful right that distinctly identifies Americans from residents in all other countries on Earth.”
Columnist Burt Prelutsky took it further.
“I want Obama to go through the process because he has it coming. In totalitarian states, after all, the people have no other recourse except to take to the streets and spill blood. But we have available the process of impeachment, and Obama should be forced to defend his contemptible lies and actions,” he wrote. “If for no other reason than his unbearable arrogance, the schmuck should have to pay a penalty. For instance, when a White House reporter asked him to justify spying on the Associated Press, Obama said, ‘I’ve still got 60,000-plus troops in Afghanistan and I still have a bunch of intelligence officers around the world.’ No, sir, the United States has 60,000-plus troops in Afghanistan and a bunch of intelligence officers around the world.”
A panel of top constitutional experts convened by WND blasted Obama’s actions in office. Bruce Fein, the legal scholar who is best known for having drafted articles of impeachment against former President Clinton for perjury after he lied under oath, said Obama’s orders to drone-kill a terror suspect were “tantamount to murder.”
“You can’t have democracy and the rule of law if you never get to know what the facts are and you just have to accept what the government says they are. If you don’t have a trial, that’s the definition of tyranny.”
