Rally petitions for Nixon removal
By Charles Wieser
Placards read "Impeach Nixon,
Now More Than Ever" and "Protect
the Constitution -Impeach Nixon,"
speakers called for immediate
impeachment and more than 175
persons signed a petition supporting
the impeachment of President Richard
Nixon at a Saturday rally on the
Capitol steps.
The rally, sponsored by the
Nebraska Coalition for the
Impeachment of President Nixon, was
planned following Nixon's dismissal of
Watergate special prosecutor Archibald
Cox and Deputy Atty. Gen. William
Ruckelshaus.
A march to Congressman Charles
Thone's office also was made in an
effort to give him the petition.
Thone's office was vacant, but persons
connected with the rally said the
petition would be delivered to him
Monday.
State Sen. Steve Fowler said
Americans will have to unite to
successfully impeach Nixon. 'This is
the sort of thing that got Nixon
elected in the first place," he said.
