bush and Kerry are both in town today
and I just heard a report that there are Nader supporters working the line at the bush rally to gather signatures to get Nader on the ballot here in Iowa. The local right wing clear channel station has nothing but bush this and bush that. I tried to call them and complain but I couldn't get through, so I emailed them instead. They didn't even mention that there were about 5000 people in Dubuque last night and about 1000-1500 more were turned away due to space limitations. Man I'm fired up and need to vent. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest DU. I'm going to try and get down there later and hold up my Kerry sign, as well as wear my newly acquired Kerry 2004 hat. They won't let me in the gate at the bush rally so it'll have to be from a distance. BTW, the town is Davenport, IA.

Two groups announced Tuesday that they plan to protest at today’s President Bush rally at LeClaire Park along the Mississippi River in Davenport.
.
The Sierra Club will rally beginning at 9:30 a.m. to highlight Bush’s failure to protect Iowa communities from air and water pollution, club members said.
.
America Coming Together, or ACT, will set up a Halliburton lemonade stand at LeClaire Park that will open before Bush’s visit. In the spirit of Halliburton, ACT will offer Halliburton lemonade at $45 a cup, or 2 cups for $100, said Jeff Link, ACT Iowa director said.
.
“Our lemonade stand is intended to mimic the outrageous business tactics used by Halliburton for defense contracts,” Link said. “The difference is that our proceeds will go toward defeating an administration that condones such practices.” more ....
