In conjunction with ImpeachPAC and After Downing Street, freewaybloggers across the country will be celebrating their rights to free speech by putting up signs calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush. In order to participate all you need is cardboard, paint and something to say. Send pictures of your work to freewayblogger@yahoo.com
The right to post political opinion on public property is one of the most protected rights we have in American Democracy, and it's high time we started using it. Speaking out against a policy, president, or administration you feel is harming our nation is not only your right as an American citizen, it's your duty. And it's a hell of a lot of fun too.

Rock on! Can't wait to see if these things pop up all over the place. I got my town covered. One person in every town? We'll have the whole country impeaching the liar.
Three of us have the SF Bay Area covered, and Chicago, New York and LA have checked in.
Boise, Idaho is in tha house!
Hello from our blog along Interstate 74, near St. Leon, Indiana. Grassroots protest at its most effective.
Greetings from Baltimore, where you can rest assured there will be impeachment signs hanging this weekend.
Look for signs in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area of Pennsylvania.
Mariposa, Calif. is in! I'll have a sign on my blue car.
PHOENIX checking in - ready & willing to IMPEACH! Heading out friday morning... maybe more to come over the weekend. Happy Labour Day!!
San Diego! got you covered!
Los Angeles here...San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, Santa Clarita Valley...all freeway close! Damn, I better paint some more signs...
Stockton CA and Livermore. And anywhere in between. I've painted two freewayblogs and a dufflebag full of wheat paste fliers.
Wheee!!!!
I've got lots of cardboard on hand, and will be putting signs in Santa Cruz County and/or Santa Clara County (aka Silicon Valley). I'm considering promoting ActBlue with the signs, since we've already elected about as many Democrats as we can from N. Cal. Time to start voting with our wallets to help candidates elsewhere in the country. Something along the lines of ...
"Had enough Bush? Vote with your wallet. ActBlue.com"
ActBlue sounds like a good thing to promote, but it would be kind of nice to have some kind of unified message this weekend (i.e. "Impeach") Nothing stopping you, of course, but then again, nothing stopping you from posting ActBlue signs next week and the week after that and the week after that...
My 2 cents, and worth every penny.
Hi From Scottsdale, AZ ,Freeway - looking forward to putting signs up here in the red part of the country.
Count Charlotte, NC in. Hopefully I can borrow someone's digital camera and send in some pics.
Pittsburgh PA, will be out there.
Stay safe everyone!
Buffalo, New York represented.
I love the smell of impeachment in the morning.
Middletown NY; the gateway to the Catskills will be covered
Possibly blogging in Maine.
:)
~K~
"Impeach" In Bellingham, WA over I-5 both north and south. Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Thursdays signs stayed up 8 hours for 10's of thousands to see!
I left about 1,000 "9/11 Faudulent Notes" bills at resturaunts, gas stations, National Parks and hotels on our recent 2,500 mile trip from Denver to Portland, OR! The best is watching from a distance as unsuspecting republicans pick them up realizing what they are proceed to tear them up in a huff!
This is pure genius! Great work, and I hope it catches on.
south jersey is in, dont hope it
catches on make it.
echopark, frogtown covered here in los angeles. the 2, the 5, and the onramps and offramps.
good day...i said good day sir!
Lantana, Florida reporting in.
I'll be posting Chimpeach and Impeach signs all over the Republican-racist areas surrounding New Orleans: Metairie, Kenner, Mandeville and Covington.
best
MAKE LEVEES NOT WAR
But what will you do if Bush is impeached and Cheney becomes president? You think we have it bad now...
I wish I was in the USA so I could be putting up my signs...as it is, I'm puttting some up here in the Dordogne and linking this website on my blog!!!!
WORST PRESIDENT EVER! WON'T SOMEONE GIVE THE LITTLE JERK A BLOWJOB SO WE CAN IMPEACH HIM!!
BUCK FUSH!!!
You might also want to consider adding either ITMFA or www.ITMFA.com -- check that site out and see what you think. However, I agree that a predominantly consistent campaign would be most effective, and might even garner a little media attention. Bravo! Now, fly my little monkies, FLY!
I'm afraid I'm too much of a wimp to post on public property, but how about private property? My back fence (which for two years has tallied the soldier's deaths) faces city hall, the police station and the catholic church. Can you use a support team of "community" bloggers?
Shrink in SF
You are an inspiration to true patriots and lovers of democracy everywhere in this once-great nation!
In the redneck mountains of AZ they would need a tranlator to read the sign. But, we who are to old and infirm to do this cheer you one. There is hope for our country as long as there are still people with convictions and the energy and courage to display them we will survive. I am waiting by youtube for videos!
Congrats on making it national, man! I clicked over here from Huffington Post. I've had you linked for over six months, great job!
I hope you all go fuck yourselves! Bush is a damm good president!
Kansas signing in. Hopefully not the only one.
Oh, and Hahahaha on the person who's still cheering for Bush. Good president of the "Drive Up the National Debt till We Drown" club, sure. You're such a card to still defend him!
I heard of this months ago, so glad to find a website of it.
I haven't hung any freeway signs yet, but since 2004 I have been writing messages on the back and side windows of my car. I call them car-boards and mobile messages.
Naturally, I get all kinds of responses; the usual thumbs up, thumbs down or finger up, but the ones I like to see are those that want to read it, but don't want to be seen reading it. Funny how all the fingers come from 30 - 45 year old white males, once in a while an Ann Coulter. But the thumbs ups, smiles and compliments come from every age group, male and female and across all racial lines.
One guy at a warehouse where I was picking up a bedroom set kept scowling in my direction. I thought, "uh huh, one of them." Imagine my surprise when he came over just as I was ready to leave and said, "Lady, I couldn't agree with your sign more, but most everyone here supports bush, so I just keep quiet. People need to hear that (my sign) more and more. Keep up the good job".
I usually change them weekly or so. I've had **Support Our Troops - Impeach Bush Save Our Military - Fire Rumsfeld** up for a while now, but I will leave it on for this weekends movement. I'll even get off my ass and go hang a sign too.
Rock on, true Patriots
BTW - (car-boarder here), I'm always looking for new slogans or sayings, if any of your creative juices are flowing.
Some of my favorites:
Bush & the G.O.P. - consistently getting it wrong since Jan. of 2000.
Who Would Jesus Bomb.
Our Constitution Trumps Your Bible - Period.
Illegal War Torture Hubris Corruption Welcome to GW's America.
Alito's In! Buy stock in coathangers now!
Those who give up liberty in the name of safety, deserve neither.
How about "George W Bush gives plants a bad name" ?
Mansfield, Texas
2 signs up in town now:
1 near freeway onramp
1 on kiosk
More tonight!
Hey, I'm putting up signs this weekend (Labor Day). Hope you haven't taken up the good spots!
Nutmeg
San Quentin Village, CA
One cleverly double-sided sign went up this morning in Pacifica, CA on the Paloma/Francisco overpass. One side will hopefully entertain some of the weekenders heading up to Half Moon Bay. The other side is for the foot traffic on the pedestrian bridge. Happy Labor Day!
Here are some sign ideas:
"Bush hates white people too."
"At least Bush had an exit strategy for Vietnam."
"I miss Clinton."
"Impeach Cheney first."
Draw a cup of coffee with steam coming off of it and write around it: "Wake up and smell the fascism."
Thanks to all who wrote suggestions, all are good ones, specially the coffe cup one.
Have a happy and safe weekend everyone.
We will not go quietly into the night....unless we're hanging up freeway signs....then we'll be going vewy, vewy qwiet!
hey car-boarder, have room for a couple more?
IMPEACHMENT: it's not just for blowjobs anymore!
God is not a Republican
Jesus was a Liberal
The Constitution is NOT "Just a God damned piece of paper" -GW Bush
"'Course it'd be a lot easier if I wuz the Dictator!" -GW Bush
War, torture, greed, corruption and hate are the new Republican values
9/11 was an inside job
You want more war?
Draft Republicans
and so on and so on and so on... :o)
Great
You all are beautiful!
You claim that this behavior costs nothing to take down. It costs each community a lot of money.You have no right to put up political messages in public right-of-ways. If I were to put up the same type of sign over a bridge that said "Liberals Are Idiots", would you demand that it be taken down? I know I would. The point is, no matter what your message, or who puts it up, it is not legal. More than that, it costs each taxpayer a lot of money to keep removing these signs. Think about it. It is obvious that you really don't care about the cost to the taxpayer as long as your own agenda gets publicity. I think that's pretty selfish and truly Un-American.
