The day before Dean’s appearance here, our esteemed leader (cough) will be here. Information on planned protest rallys can be found at Action Alert and Stop Bush Seattle, but here’s the pertinent information:
Saturday, August 23rd\
Seattle waterfront, 12 noon100,000 of us will come together in Seattle for a peaceful and joyful celebration of our numbers and our power. We will gather for an afternoon to strengthen and steady each other in our determination to be rid of this blight. The bully has to go.
Where: Myrtle Edwards park. 12 noon: Rally. 1pm: Loop march southbound on Alaskan Way to Madison St. and back to park. Speaking: William Rivers Pitt, of TruthOut.org. Why: A swaggering bully shows up in our neighborhood. We know his rep, and we know his plans. So, do we duck our heads and hope he picks on someone else? Or do we rouse the neighborhood and back this bully down? George Bush says he is coming on August 22, 2003. There is not a more arrogant and dangerous bully on the face of the earth.
There’s a strong chance I’ll be at this one, too.
I’ve got some signs built over on my blog. If anyone wants to show Bush their support… They are welcome to download and print out the signs. I won’t enforce the copyright.
Got those on my hard drive now. :)
(Incidentally, the link you’re using for comments here is a little off — it should be http://aurorastudios.typepad.com/ or http://aurorastudios.typepad.com/timsplace/ — hou’ve got http://aurorastudios.typepad.com/aurora/ which returns a 404 error.)
There that should do it. Thanks
