'Impeach Obama' protest causes giant Southern California traffic jam (Photos)
A TEA Party sponsored "Impeach Obama" demonstration on a major Southern California freeway overpass caused traffic to backup at least ten miles, as the organizer apologized for "any small inconvenience" drivers may have dealt with, as reported by the San Diego-based local news portal the Carlsbad Patch on June 9, 2013.
Flying a number of American flags as well as the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party-adopted Gadsen flag, protesters flashed to motorists on the Interstate 5 southbound lanes in Carlsbad, California placards stating "Remember Benghazi," "Obama Lies" and "Amnesty Hell No!"
Organizers estimated between 25,000 and 30,000 vehicles would drive under the Tamarack Rd. overpass where the protesters set up shop.
By 12:15, the notoriously slow California freeway traffic had become a slow flowing parking lot from the protest site all the way back to the main gate of the sprawling Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, ten miles distant.
One of the organizers, local TEA Party activist Roger Ogden apologized for any inconveniences any of the motorists may have suffered, but also added in an e-mail statement:
But it is also inconvenient to the entire nation to have a lawless president in office who murders American citizens without judicial process; wages illegal war without congressional approval required by the Constitution, including a terroristic drone war, which has killed about 5,000 people including many children and innocent bystanders in allied countries; dictates law by executive order and generally trashes the Constitution.
It is not even clear that he is eligible for the office he holds.
