Protesters were spotted lining up on overpasses across the River Valley and Northwest Arkansas as groups gathered as part of a national protest calling to impeach President Obama.
The protests are part of a national organized movement, “Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment.” The group of protesters were seen carrying anti-Obama signs and American flags at interstate overpasses. The protests are scheduled to be held at 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. with the goal of catching drivers going to and from work.
In Springdale three of these protesters were spotted at the Elm Springs overpass at I-540 waving a large American Flag.
In the River Valley a dozen protesters could be seen Tuesday morning at the I-40 Lee Creek overpass waving flags and carrying signs.
However, Arkansas State Police told the protesters they had to move away from the Lee Creek overpass around 8 a.m. Tuesday because it is a two-lane interstate. ASP told protesters they could not congregate unless it was at a four-lane interstate.
Around 8:15 a.m. Lee Creek protesters moved their protests to the Van Buren Welcome Center.
