'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:

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
