I was just thinkin' Iraq and Katrina. Hmmm. May have to rethink this! How about Bush: Get an exit strategy that works as good as the one you used to get out of VietNam... Nah. Too long. :-)

5. Hey, We're peaceniks, meet up with us.
We're not looking for trouble, just a show of solidarity with other peaceniks. Hopefully things will not get out of control. Anybody got tips on what to do if problems arise? I would think a plan B in case of emergency ( an exit strategy!) would be a good idea. A lawyer who belongs to a Mac users group told my husband he would bail us out of jail if need be! Other than that I am too much of a novice to offer advice.

8. Don't know
If you are near a big city there are probably lots of church groups that have space on buses, Also, local chapters of veterans for peace. Where are you coming from?

I'll ask around. I'm coming from East Tennessee, so I might have to look real hard. Hopefully one of my friends will decide to make the trip.

21. some ideas for you...
I've been in the same spot man...

I think there's a way to post a ride request. You could always post that you need a ride. Another thing to try would be to post to the craigs list for your area, that might help... You could even look in there to see if there are other people looking. You could always carpool.

Another thing to try are geographic communities on Livejournal. Sounds silly I know, but I know people have found rides that way.

Good luck... if you end up getting there, I'll be the one holding a sign that says "I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords" on one side, and "IMPEACH BUSH" on the other.

19. Who's keeping count?
Who's keeping count of how many show up? I can't go, but will be there in spirit. I did go to the March for Women's Lives, April 2004, and we have over 1 million turnout. It was incredible. Of course it barely got reported by the media. But I was there and I know it was HUGE. I'll bet Sept. 24 will see a big turnout.

9. 16 ideas for signs. Feel free to use these:
Mostly my coinage but not all original:

Siege of New Orleans 2005

Leave No Child Behind, except in New Orleans

Intelligent Design theory gave us FEMA.

Federal Excuse Making Agency.

Bush Strummed, New Orleans drowned.

Jabbar Gibson for Head of FEMA

How Many Deaths To Prove Incompetency?

Katrina blew the clothes off the emperor.

Katrina roared and the Chimp howled.

They Forgot to Color Code Katrina.

New Orleans: the third Gulf War.

Faith Based Disaster Planning

Bush Loves Black Oil, not Black People

Only Oily Green Bucks sto on Bush's Desk

Our soldiers are stationed in the wrong gulf.

Don't have a hurricane in a non-election year.
