I expect the best turnout to a liberal protest in eons. Im guessing maybe 1000 tops. Itll beat the last turnout by 900.

You must not have heard about the protest that went on Sept. 25, 2005 in Washington, DC. About 300,000 people showed up at that one protest, while another rally in support of the war went on the day before, same city. About 400 showed up for that one. Compare the numbers! Which one got the best press coverage? Well, you can bet it was the rally in support, even though it only drew a small fraction to the peace rally. That's how you know the media is controlled.

How is it going? Is Bush gone now?

I haven't seen or heard the first word about this on any news outlets - national or local.

rarghrargh-brownstar

yeah there can be some characters. but they are a part getting out the message. this includes allowed torture among other things.

Just as my buddy Whos_Pearljam? has claimed:

It isn't going to push Bush out of office,,, but rallies like these can propel people out to vote. And that's next month!!!

It IS something that usually makes the news as a counter to the government rhetoric of, "Ahhh everything's ok,,,, stay the course"

Doing "something" is better than sitting and doing nothing, as we all know.

Thanks.

Presidential Election next month?

I went to my little town's gathering. Some were going onto downtown Los Angeles but I could not.

LOTS of horn honking in support (even the cops--we were right across the street from the station).

What I noticed: The pro-Bushies were so [size=+1]ANGRY and MEAN[/size] when they drove by. Damn.

jlew24asu

so how did your little tea party work out?

I've checked msn.com and cnn.com and can't find any reporting of this protest. It just seemed way to vague to me concerning the reason driving the protest. Reading the material it seemed just as much against the Dems as it was Bush. It seemed to be advocating for huge change without saying what change it wanted. Seems like an awkward way to go about it if you ask me.

I had similar thoughts, but hey.

3 people were arrested here in Seattle during some protests. It started at the UW in Red Square (imagine that!), and it looks like they're scheduled for an all night sit-in at the Federal Building.

Gather your people, your signs, your convictions and take it to the streets!
*
We DO own the government. They ARE vulnerable and we will bring about reform only if we want to.

Why protest?

# To reach large numbers of people with your message.
# To create solidarity among organizers and marchers.
# To show political prisoners that they are not alone.
# To see how your government responds to dissent.
# To build coalitions with other protest groups.
# To make the system realize it is vulnerable.
# To show the strength of your organization.
# To throw the system on the defensive.
# To expose the crimes of the powerful.
# To make the police think about what they are protecting.
# To motivate the undecided to join you.
# To remove feelings of helplessness.
# To make the system react to you.
# To show who owns the streets.
# To exploit the news media.
# To create your own media.
# To rattle the complacent.
# To speak truth to power.
# To mobilize people.
# To have fun.

# Because every major movement for freedom, justice and equality in the United States got its start with people taking to the streets in protest!

If any of these goals were accomplished it was worth it. Change takes time and effort and won't come overnight after a day of protesting. And I can't believe people are acting suprised they didn't hear about this in the corporate media!!!??? What a big shocker there! Do they ever cover the stuff they should in any depth?

'change don't come from one
it's a wave building before it breaks'

Any idea what the turn-out was?
