'Impeach Donald Trump Now' Billboard Goes Up a Mile from Mar-a-Lago
"No one is above the law. Not even the president," reads a highway sign along the route to Trump's Florida estate
Sep 01, 2017
About a mile from the so-called "Winter White House," the Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump has installed a crowd-funded billboard to advocate for removing the president from office.
"No one is above the law. Not even the president," reads the billboard, located on Southern Boulevard, which leads directly to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
"Momentum for impeachment is accelerating at the grassroots," said Norman Solomon, national coordinator of the online activist group RootsAction.org, which is co-sponsoring the non-partisan impeachment campaign with Free Speech For People.
As the president's approval rating continues to tank--even among his base--calls for his impeachment and speculation that he may resign before the end of his term have intensified in recent weeks.
Two Democratic members of the House of Representatives, Rep. Al Green of Texas and Rep. Brad Sherman of California, have introduced articles of impeachment, and after the president's remarks about Charlottesville, Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced he would, too.
As photos of the billboard spread virally online Friday morning, Twitter users shared their reactions:

We are at a crossroads
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. US voters have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. If you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
