Group protests President Obama on I-90 Overpass

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – People driving by Exit 2 on Interstate 90 Saturday afternoon might have noticed a dozen protesters holding "Impeach Obama" signs on the overpass.
The group is part of a nationwide effort called Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment.
The La Crosse protesters said they're a non-partisan group of Americans unhappy with the president's leadership.
Overpass protester Jerry Miller accused the administration of hiding information when it comes to the National Security Agency monitoring American's phones and emails, claims that the Internal Revenue Service is targeting conservative groups, and the way the government handled the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
He hopes this protest opens the eyes of congress to impeach the president.
"Well we hope just to wake everybody up, to take notice and to listen to their constituents. ‘Cause they're not doing their job," Miller said. "They need to stand up and they need to fight against Obama and his administration. They need to start demanding answers."
The La Crosse County Democrats said the "overpass" effort has many similarities to the Tea Party – who also describes themselves as "non-partisan."
The Democrats said the president did not act unconstitutionally so there are no grounds to impeach him.
"You have people (in government) who absolutely will not do anything. You have people who will not appoint judges, they will not approve any appointments of judges, especially in the court system in Washington D.C. These people are impossible. (Obama's) doing the best he can," said Marcia Wine, vice chair of the La Crosse County Democratic Party.
Political science professor Tim Dale said every president has faced this type of opposition and it is very unlikely President Obama will be impeached.
According to the U.S. Constitution, a president can only be impeached "treason,bribery,andotherhighcrimes and misdemeanors."
A majority of the House of Representatives has to vote to pass allocations of impeachment – Bill Clinton was technically impeached.
Then the Senate serves as trial court. A two-thirds majority would have to vote to remove the president.

Anti-Obama group sends impeachment message on overpasses

SERGEANT BLUFF | A group determined to throw President Barack Obama out of the White House held a demonstration on an Interstate 29 overpass Saturday, urging drivers to honk in support of their cause.

Members of the fairly new, grassroots group Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment stood on the First Street overpass in Sergeant Bluff for more than five hours.

"(Obama) is just treading all over the Constitution," Paul Hoadley, of Alta, Iowa, said. "He's not asking Congress for any of the things he's doing anymore. He just thinks he's a king, and he's not."

Hoadley protested with his wife and two children on Saturday "to raise awareness to the rest of the community about how we feel about the administration.

"I wish he gets impeached. Yesterday would be soon enough for me. We're not forcing the country to do anything. Everybody else has their voice out there. So we're putting ours out."

Without claiming allegiance to any political party, conservative activist James Neighbors recently founded the group with a goal to remove "the corrupt and criminal President Obama."

Hoadley said the group had as many as 20 protesters show up at one point and estimates they received more than 300 supportive honks.

"I think today was an excellent day," Hoadley's wife, Charissa, said. "You've got to protect your Constitution before it's too weak to defend itself."

Asked why exactly they'd like to see Obama impeached, she said "there's just numerous ones," as a passing driver yelled an expletive in her direction.

"If you're not ticking people off, then you're not doing something right," she said with a grin.

Dubuque Overpass for Obama's Impeachment

Posted: Aug 17, 2013 6:19 PM CDTUpdated: Aug 17, 2013 7:05 PM CDTWritten by Lauren DeWitt, Multimedia Journalist - bio | email

DUBUQUE (KWWL) -On Saturday a group in Dubuque joined protesters across the nation in Overpass for Obama's Impeachment. The group held different signs along Highway 20 in Dubuque to get "honks" for President Obama's impeachment.

Monty Alexander lead the group in Dubuque on Saturday.

"That many people being exposed to at one time, that's why this is so important, he said." We are not being heard, we are not being listened to by the administration. This is not a Democrat or Republican thing, it's about the President of the United States. This is about Republicans that are not doing what they say they are going to, and also Democrats that are not doing what they say they are going to do. The entire administration is corrupt."

This is the second time a group from Overpass for Obama's Impeachment has gathered in Dubuque this summer. Alexander said he was a part of the first group in early august, he said the protesters received mixed reactions from the cars driving below.

"On August 6th, I would estimate probably about 75% honk ratio (of cars that passed by), he said. "I would say about 20% didn't do anything, and about 5% did some things that were inappropriate."

Magnolia St. Mr. Macy, along with many others held signs in protest to Obama and his presidency.

When asked what are the top reasons you are calling for his impeachment, Mr. Macy had this to say, ” Benghazi, NSA scandal, A.P. wiretapping, his illegal constitutional appointments and his selective enforcement of the law.” Macy also stated that this is a nationwide effort with over 40,000 members.

Locals join nationwide protest against Obama
by Ron Harris
August 18,2013

About a dozen local residents joined a nationwide protest Saturday against President Barack Obama and his administration.

The protest, organized by a national group calling itself Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment, was held in cities across the United States. In Jasper, the protest was held along U.S. 78 just east of Industrial Boulevard.

“This is a national movement, and it’s being held all across the U.S.,” said Eva Atkins, one of the organizers of the local protest.

“This is to bring awareness to issues that the mainstream media is not reporting,” added Trisha Knight Gardner, one of a dozen protesters in Jasper.

Some motorists passing on U.S. 78 honked their horns in support of the protest. Many others expressed their feelings on the group’s Facebook page.

The group also has a website at overpasses.org.

According to the website, “Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment has a simple goal. The removal of the corrupt and criminal President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama.

“His actions go unimpeded, our pleas through petitions unanswered. Our calls and letters to Congress are left ignored and unopened.

“Our only peaceful recourse is to take to the streets and overpasses of America and demand that our nation be returned to We the People, and that Barack Hussein Obama be impeached, removed from office, and held accountable for his actions while serving as President.”

“There are numerous points that we’re trying to bring to the nation’s attention,” said Karen, who didn’t want to give her last name because she’s a federal employee.

“The main thing that bothers me is President Obama getting our troops killed,” Atkins said. “But it’s also a lot of other things like what happened in Benghazi. President Obama just needs to go. He’s committed treason over and over and Congress has done nothing about it.

Lonnie Long, a 17-year member of the U.S. Navy who’s now retired, said he’s frustrated with the Obama administration and its lack of help for veterans and for most Americans.

“President Obama has split the nation so bad,” he said. “When Reagan was in office and when Clinton was in office — as much as I didn’t like them either — at least both sides of the aisle (in Congress) would talk to each other. Now, they won’t even talk to each other.”

“The administration is fostering that,” added Karen.

“He’s divided the country to the point where nothing is going to work,” Long said.

Protesters said race has nothing to do with their displeasure with Obama and his presidency.

“That’s garbage. I don’t like Joe Biden. I don’t like Harry Reid,” Long said. “Guess what, neither one of them is black.”

“It’s not about race,” Atkins said.

“I don’t care if he’s purple with green stripes,” said Karen. “He’s got to go.

It’s like America at this point in time has congestive heart failure.”

“People are just not informed, that’s a big part of the problem,” Long said.
