Police, Protesters Prepare For Anti-War Demonstration (DC protests)

This is good.

MY ASS!

There will be so fricking many people there!

I am so excited :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Oh Boy Oh Boy!!

Can you tell I'm excited? :P

:patriot:

The White House is the first place *I* would go to protest the World Bank...:eyes:

Hope you get a good turnout for the protests. I've been to a few here in Britain, which were huge. The protest in London when Bush came to visit was a fantastic experience, thousands of people just stopped in front of Downing Street shouting "Shame on you". The route of the march was altered slightly after everyone had been moved along.

Everyone is so friendly here :)

We hope so, too.

I think there'll be more than a few Katrina relief advocates there, as well.

I hope it's SEVERAL hundred thousand, and I hope they KEEP the White House surrounded. And Dear GOD, I hope there's decent coverage...

I'll be there in spirit with all the good people who are standing up for freedom. I'll be tuning in for news on the day from "across the pond".

I'm guesstimating it'll be well over ONE MILLION. :bounce:

Meant to say in my last post as well that there's a Fire Bush demo going on right outside the White House as well, from www.firegeorge.org:

Checkmate in 10 days: Fire George on 9/24
www.FireGeorge.org
Spread the word: www.firegeorge.org
Bushville, DC and the 9/24 March
will join in a
Massive Act of Nonviolent Civil Disobedience.

On 9/24 the citizens of Bushville, DC and the Marchers will peacefully encircle the White House to Fire George.

We will shout “SHAME SHAME SHAME…” the whole crowd in synch, waving pink slips at him, over and over for as long as it takes.

Spend 10 minutes today spreading www.firegeorge.org

Doesn’t it feel good to say “Fire George!” - to type www.firegeorge.org ?

George has no shame - he’s the Fear President. But surrounded by 100,000 Americans chanting their “SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! …” he will shrink like a bully. It will send him scuttling out of town.

We will call that ring of Americans the Circle of Pride.

Found it the other day. Not sure if UfPJ, and ANSWER are officially promoting this or not though?

it just wouldn't surprise me to see a HUGE turnout.

and see how many "arrested" can be traced back to Freeptardia.

The security is really needed because of the counter-protesters . . .

I just hope it doesn't get out of line.

We march, we listen to speeches and concerts Saturday and Sunday. Come Monday, the 26th, there will be direct action.

Is this to be Seattle '99, Prague '68 or Prague '89? Will it end up with rubber bullets and pepper spray, tanks in the street, or a Velvet Revolution?

that we will get to see how some of the new nonlethal weapons work. But I hope not.

I wish for everyone to be safe.

I thank everyone for all the hard work you have done.

Which MSM will reduce to "thousands".

Well, uh, the police told us it was only a few thousand people, we don't do head counts. It is their standard excuse.

Remember January 2001?

I went to one anti-Bush demonstration and it was amazing! This one will be bigger I'm sure, though the media will downplay it.

I will be there in spirit.

I'll be glued to the computer and TV on the 24th. It'll be interesting to see how much media coverage this gets. Good luck to everyone who will be attending - stay safe!
