bush appearing in Dubuque

On Friday, May 7, alleged President bush is appearing in Dubuque. All Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin people who are available should get out and protest during his mid morning appearance at the Grand River Center. I don't know too many other details, except tickets may be available at the Dubuque Building.

I heard he will be hiding in a convention center and you need tickets to get anywhere close to him. I thought bus tours were to get out amongst the people.

From the TH:

Bill Ward, of Dubuque, said he arrived at about 7:30 a.m., and waited an hour. When it came time to show his identification, Ward said he was asked if he supported Bush in 2000.

"I said I didn't vote for him then and I won't vote for him now," Ward said.

Saying he is a World War II veteran who served in Germany and France, Ward is strongly critical of the war in Iraq.

'The only thing I wanted to do was get down to the riverfront and ask Bush some questions," he said.

Ward's lack of support for the president apparently was his undoing.

"They asked some girl to escort me out and I told them I don't need to be escorted out," Wards said. "I'm a veteran of World War II."

Very interesting. Can't let the cameras see anything but the adoring crowd. It's disgusting.

that is where the protest is going to organize and head for the Ice Harbor. We are trying to get as many people as possible. It is a little difficult since it is still a work day.
