Will you be going to DC to protest Dubya? Counter-Inaugural 2005
We haven't made any firm plans yet and we may not be able to make it anyway (work and other things).

BUT...I can imagine that there will be a huge turnout to let them know that we don't accept Neo-Con Theocrats as our "leaders". Nor does Kerry's "loss" (Sorry but while it may not have been the USSC making the call I don't buy that 8 million more people came out for Busho nationwide, period) validate the THEFT in 2000. One win, if legitimate, does not make the coup "ok".

Anyway, are you going? I hope that we can make it...

3. Nobody go near that armed camp.
I want funerals in separate cities. It's easier for people to show up in numbers, and harder to send in the tanks if we have demonstrations EVERYWHERE.

I want DC to be an eerie ghosttown. Full of armed soldiers and no one to guard against.

7. the repukes will arrange
enough demonstrators to put on cnn/foxnews....if necessary, they use file footage from 60's era civil rights protests... even 30's era coal mine strike confrontations will do! hell they'll use stuff from movies w/out hesitation, and nothing will be said, though it's blatant obvious.... the repukes despise the people, and the depths of their contempt is proven by running reagan (omg!) in 80 and bush jr in 2000...
as William Blake wrote "Contempt for the contemptable is like air to birds or the sea to fishes..."
i wonder if we're just a despicable society?

4. Can't go
But I love the idea of a peaceful protest. Line the route with protesters. As the caravan goes by turn our backs to him. Can you see a whole wave of people doing this. I think it would be even more powerful than the eggs that didn't get shown on MSM.

6. No. But please be good.
Do something theatrical like dressing up in 1700 attire and reciting those parts of the constitution that separate church and state.

Would be nice if someone also reminded people that this country was founded by religious people who were FLEEING theocracies.
