COWARD!!! COWARD!!!: Protestors block Gonzales press conference
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was in Boise today for a press conference to discuss combatting gang activity. But he was forced to move the press conference “this afternoon to the federal courthouse in Boise because more than 100 protesters staked out his chosen site for the event. So instead of holding his conference at the Fort Boise Community Center, Gonzales opted to stage the event more than an hour later at the US District Court building nearby.”

UPDATE: KTVB reports, “Just before his scheduled 2:50 p.m. appearance for media questions and answers, a representative appeared and told the gathered crowd that Gonzales would speak at an alternate site - with only credentialed members of the media present.The crowd erupted in disappointment, with many yelling and screaming. Some chanted ‘coward, coward.’”

3. Damn Right! Let Civil Disobedience Ring from Sea to Shining Sea
We should be laying down in the street in front of Cheney's house, blocking his ability to leave. We should be clogging the streets of DC.

'Cmon People Now!

6. My son-in-law hails from Boise
Unjustly maligned, by the way.

This PROVES that there is nowhere in the US that Gonzales, or any other known member of the Bush Crime Family, can appear openly in public.

When you have to hide from the public in the most Republican state of all, YOU ARE SCREWN.
