    I won't be there (I'll be recovering from my trip to Europe), but my daughter informs me that she'll be there with a busload of classmates :)

    I can't believe they brought in a cop on a horse to start barking orders and push everybody around!

    That's just absolutely ridiculous. Talk about blatant police harassment.

    It was a press conference ffs.

    What the hell is America coming to??!?

    It's no biggie, I'd rather make a stand, a statement that what this administration is doing must come to an end. Besides this march is in my backyard and I MUST represent.

    As for the Keys they're not going anywhere unless some massive hurricane hits, I'll be in South Florida from December to June next year working. I'm sure I'll take a drive and hang out there for as long as I want.

    Cindy Sheehan responds to William Kristol's campaign against the Sept. 15
    March on Washington, where he calls to"Kill the Die-In"

    Mr. Kristol calls on the "honorable" members of the anti-war movement to denounce the die-in and lumps MoveOn.org with other organizers of the die-in. MoveOn is not associated with the die-in as they do not support non-violent, direct civil disobedience. What I find so amusing is that Mr. PNAC-Fox News-Chicken-hawk has made himself the judge of what is honorable.

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    if there is a local ordinance against putting up signs, then it's not a police state action, the fine itself is rediculous though.

    You don't need signs anyway, use blogs, and other internet tools to get the word out, try and use local and national news to get the word out.

    By the sounds of it, the posters are legal if you use a glue that makes it easily removed...I could be wrong, but that's how the protestors justify it (while being arrested of course)...also, if you watch some of the related youtube links, there are news stories showing the posters surrounded by other posters...and the point is made that whoever put up the other posters was not arrested or harassed.

    Notice how someone happens to be running a lawn mower in the park right next to the press conference while they're trying to speak (start of the video). Probably a coincidence...but a convenient one.

    Seeing that horse come flying in, for absolutely no reason made me pretty angry...kudos to the protesters for keeping their cool.

    They'll try anything to keep the protestors away. There's a ruling that the glue has to be water based and this case they were using the water base glue. Here in DC a couple weeks ago the Capital police or someone in authority threatened to fine ANSWER protest org. $10,000 if they didn't take down their signs.

    The volunteers refused and so far nothing has come of it. I'll be there this Saturday.

    yes, there are other links on youtube interviewing the ANSWER people and they show a stack of fines that total $10k...such blatant harassment.

    Good on ya for planning to attend, esp if you cancelled a vacation for it. Make your voice heard!

    I'm amazed at how much this type stuff has happened the last 5 years, the Republican convention, any Bush speaking rally/engagement, even Laura Bush speaking engagements...

    I'm just hearing about this march, the website seems to have something related to the march back to AUG 6th, but it doesn't seem that the word has gotten out very well.

    Marches in the U S seem to be too troublesome for citizens these days. Not enough people willing to sacrifice for what they believe, or at least what they think they believe.

    It's not going away any time soon. You might want to park in the garage, and put up a big electrified barb wire fence.

    This will also help keep the boogey man out!

    hey...double bonus.
