Rallies were scheduled today (August 17) for the 'Overpasses to Impeach Obama' throughout the United States.
Post your photos, comments, links here for the rallies in your area.
Gave 'em a hoooooooooonk going by.
...saw a group in Netcong, NJ yesterday signing up any and all people interested as I drove by.....
Waste of time. I’d find another hobby.
America will never impeach Obama or any other president for a long, long time. The fools who blew the last impeachment exercise are to blame. Impeachment is welcome by a small fraction of the people and you will not find enough support in Congress to do anything. Sorry.
I know the organizers are at Facebook, but wouldn’t you agree that a much greater turnout is possible with better communication in advance of the rallies?
IT’S A GREAT WAY FOR DISSENTERS OF TYRANNY TO CONNECT. Might come in handy some day, no?
You must join Facebook to access state pages where upcoming events are advertised. I’ve spoken with them about this but it didn’t make much difference. I’m beginning to suspect it’s a honeypot operation.
It might make it easier for a drone attack. I do sympathize, but it isn’t going to happen so why put your safety at risk? I’d rather keep my head down and powder dry for when the real action begins. Why get on a “list” before doing any good?
I'm sure that Facebook is used as a 'list maker' for the gov't. Zuckerberg ILLEGALLY gave 0bama unfettered access to FB profile data for his organizers to use for the 2012 election, so I'm sure the DHS, FBI, CIA, IRS, etc., builds lists based on people's 'Likes', etc., for compiling lists of those who are potential resisters to the gov't ("domestic terrorists" as Napolitano once said).
The fools who blew the last impeachment exercise are to blame.”
“While these (impeachment charges) rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, I’ll not vote to remove.”
——Snt. Robert Byrd (Dem, WV)
The impeachment was not “blown.” it was sabotaged by demorcats who knew the president was guilty but would not vote to remove him from office.
But I like the idea that the pot is being stirred. Low info voters might look at the banner wavers and wonder what that is all about. Even if just that, it might spark an interest.
Who knows who. Who belongs to which organizations. Who has what interests.
There’s simple apps which produce a network graph

and for professionals more sophisticated social network analysis software some which can automatically extract data from facebook

Wasn’t only the Dems and thank you very much for confirming my original point!
Agreed ! Zuckerberg already showed his true colors regarding Ryan's "SHAMNESTY " , contributed 10 million dollars to political action
and created a False PAC .. "Americans for a Conservative Direction" inferring Conservative values tothe PAC.
He has already demonstrated his true political and moral values , and Zuckerberg is UNTRUSTWORTHY !!
Correct. But it is good to show Americans that there is still an opposition.
Lead,
Follow
or
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
no offense bigfatbob.
The question was, though.. Is 'Overpasses For America' a honeypot???
I don’t know. I am beginning to doubt though.
The odds are long, but there is no other choice but to try. Your post is defeatist.
And it's also wrong. Last time impeachment did work. Removal failed.
Sorry.
Obama is certainly an evil, anti-American, communist thug, but I don’t believe he can be impeached and removed from office. I don’t believe the RINO House has the guts to do it, and I’m certain the Democrat Senate cares more about their personal power than about the Constitution or the rule of law. It doesn’t matter if Obama abuses the IRS, his followers will love him for it (even though Nixon was impeached for that crime). It doesn’t matter if Obama refuses to enforce the laws on immigration or selected parts of ObamaCare, his followers will love him for it (even though Johnson was impeached for that crime). Nothing matters - it’s Obama and he’s diverse, i.e., immune.
Obama will be in office for three more terrible years, and I pray that America can survive that disaster. We will have a massive, crippling debt when we finally get rid of him. We will have an ObamaCare monstrosity that will be hard to dismantle then unless the House defunds that destructive law now. There will be innumerable other problems if we keep Obama for that long, but I don’t believe we have a choice.
I’d rather focus on reducing the destruction, which can be done, rather than trying for a home run that is destined to fail.
Oh, good grief. This is a totally grass roots movement of ordinary, pissed off Americans, and Facebook just happens to be the easiest, most well known method of getting people connected for spontaneous events like these.
Got a better way to get it done? Put it into action and stop sitting on your hands.
So is Free Republic. We've all been on 'the list' for quite some time, so it doesn't make a damn bit of difference if you're on Facebook or not.
And we're all safely anonymous on Free Republic, right?
I sent an email to Info@Overpasses.org on 8/14 seeking more info for my location. Heard zip.
Y'all need to get better organized. Post the state info on your web site. Quit using Facebook as a crutch.

We attended one in D’Iberville, MS today. About 30 people. I was astounded by the number of middle fingers and yells of “racisists” we got.
No ,.. not safely anonymous on Free Republic . I don't need that !
What I do need is a forum to inform , formulate , organize, and express my thoughts ~ ..prior to action .
But I think I know Jim Robinson's core moral values which are in agreement with mine, and
to the best of my knowldege he has not decieved me by intent , misrepresentation , or deception.
That is why I contend that Zuckerberg's contributions to misrepresentive PAC's makes me believe Facebook is a "Honeypot "
That is why I am here , and need to support Jim Robinson and his effort to provide information.
Which reminds me , I need to support him and send him a check !
Thanks for the reminder !!

Yeah - I don’t do facebook... had I read about it here yesterday I would have joined ‘em.
I’m not interested in following a bigshot in the Log Cabin Republican’s like yourself.
We were heading south of I-75 today, and saw two groups. Honked my my horn several times as we drove under and passed by. Of course, I was the only one doing that.
That may be, but your comment indicated that's what you thought about the Overpasses groups on Facebook.
So, are you interested in joining with those folks in active protest?
I knew You’d Step in It,
stinkfootbob.
Here’s a FLASH!
Grab a Flag,not a Rainbow,
Make a snarky sign displaying Discontent
Find an Overpasse !
and if thats to difficult ,
upchuckandie.
Yes , I am interested ..
However , I see it as a Phyrric demonstration as the Congresscritters will never let impeachment happen
On the other hand , it demonstrates to the general citizenry that there is opposition to government over-reach and coercion.
So yes , I am interested !
If you're not a'skeered to visit Facebook, you can find a local group there. Onyx posted the links to all the state groups here, just the other day. You can probably find that thread by searching on the word, 'overpasses'.
And yes, it's something pro-active that we can all do to demonstrate our fury at this administration. Spending one afternoon waving banners with fellow patriots is worth more than ten thousand posts here.
Bump.
You express my thoughts perfectly.
Step in what you gay fool? Loose butt badger.
no need to sweet talk me,
bigbuttslob
You are the epitome of gayness and one of the reasons FreeRepublic isn’t what it used to be, too many illiterate keyboard antagonists who live in their moms basement. You couldn’t even find an overpass to protest on because your mom won’t drive you and your ex-partner thinks you are a whimpy gay. Go someplace else homo. I be thru with you, sweetie.
