3. I wonder if the American Legion will show up

American Legion Declares War on Protestors

The American Legion, which has 2.7 million members, has declared war on antiwar protestors, and the media could be next. Speaking at its national convention in Honolulu, the group's national commander called for an end to all “public protests” and “media events” against the war, even though they are protected by the Bill of Rights.

"The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom-loving peoples," Thomas Cadmus, national commander, told delegates at the group's national convention in Honolulu.

The delegates voted to use whatever means necessary to "ensure the united backing of the American people to support our troops and the global war on terrorism."



"whatever means necessary" - forced allegiance to the government doesn't sound very American to me. :eyes:

4. Booked my hotel room last week.

I was on the fence about going, but I got so pissed when I learned about about the 9/11 "party" the Pentagon is sponsoring, it pushed me over the edge!

7. I booked my hotel this week too- we need to ogranize a DU group!

This is getting exciting! I think we'll have a good turnout. Would love to figure out how to get more major groups involved with this for more outreach, however. Has MoveOn or PDA signed on yet?
