Few Overpassers Protest Vs. Obama

In the "What If You Throw A Protest and Few Notice" Dept, Examiner.com reports that "about 13" protesters manned the I-90 overpass at Northwest Boulevard, Coeur d'Alene, on Tuesday as part of the national Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment demonstration. Reports the Examiner.com: "In mid-July, (organizer Mike) Towan said he had hoped to get enough participants to cover every overpass on I-90 from Post Falls to Wallace. Unfortunately, he said, most simply could not take time off from work to participate." Some sympathizers reportedly were concerned that the IRS would target them if they participated in the demonstration. You can read the Examiner.com report here.
