'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.
\u201cBREAKING: This is amazing! Look what we did together. https://t.co/WUtjXgcs81 #ImpeachTrumpNow @FSFP @Roots_Action\u201d— Hold Trump Accountable Now (@Hold Trump Accountable Now) 1504213052
"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, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. 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. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
