On December we wrote about and his courageous walk from Boston to Washington D.C. to draw awareness and support for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney,

Here is some more insight into who John Nirenberg is and his motivation for his proactive decision to shed light on the need for impeaching the criminals Bush and Cheney.

No one would have guessed that after graduating from high school in Old Lyme, that he would become a Professor of “Organizational Behavior,” earning his doctorate at the University if Connecticut. He spent his life trying to understand and explain why people do what people do, visiting some 120 countries in that quest.

Now Nirenberg’s walking from Boston to Washington, DC—nearly 500 miles along the old Post Road, a symbolic 40-day trip—to ask Congress to do something big. He wants Nancy Pelosi to push for the impeachment of the President of the United States after she, without explanation, tabled the idea blocking any attempts to seek justice for these “war criminals.”

He truly believes that if this country doesn’t oust George Bush, we will be judged for our inaction—like Eichmann in Jerusalem, ours would be a statement on the banality of evil

Yesterday, Nirenberg was walking from Guilford to New Haven and has been documenting his experience each day on his blog. He writes:

Today’s Democratic debate revealed that each candidate clearly knows how this administration has violated the Constitution and each vowed to turn back many of this administration’s more egregious behaviors such as using signing statements instead of the veto, denying the right of habeas corpus, using extraordinary rendition and torture camps, and domestic spying. But there are no guarantees that this will be so. And there was no mention of returning to Congress its sole right to declare war.

I was not satisfied with the Democrats’ half-measures and weak acknowledgment of the Bush/Cheney wrongdoing. And certainly, without Kucinich in this last pre-Iowa debate, no one raised the issue of impeachment. But it must be raised even if it is inconvenient to the campaign cycle.

The snows came, the ponchos were pulled on, and we marched into the wind toward New Haven.

We, at The Lang Report, wish you a safe and hopefully a successful journey, again proving the power of one person’s decision to make a difference by taking massive action against injustice and tyranny
