Thousands expected for anti-Bush protest


Up to 10,000 people are expected for Saturday's "Stop Bush" demonstration in Sydney's CBD, where the 21 APEC leaders will begin their two-day summit.

A legal wrangle between march organisers and the NSW Police Force resulted in the protesters being barred from Martin Place, where the US Consulate is located.

Organiser and spokesman Alex Bainbridge said Saturday's protest will highlight public opposition to the war in Iraq, global warming and attacks on workers' rights.

During a NSW Supreme Court case this week, police said they feared up to 20,000 would take part in the march, which had been planned to move past the US Consulate.

5. Do this too, demand Bush end the war and then resign with Cheney.
Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.


For the cost of a telegram send your congressman, Senator or Mr. Bush a real message to get out of Iraq now. If they receive one of these they won't soon forget your message. It costs as much as a telegram to send this message and unlike a telegram they will not soon throw it out.

Call Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until you do, we won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.

7. We do not have hundreds of thousands protesting. I go to them all in my district.
We had more people in the streets before the war started than we do now.
