Show of hands. Who is protesting the invasion anniversary March 20?

[prolesunited]

What city?

How many people will be with you?

What will your sign have on it?

[Capn Sunshine]

1. I'll be there--Hollywood, CA

with 5,000+ of my closest friends and my sign will say:

http://www.peopleforchange.net

[boobooday]

2. Me -- here somewhere in the Midwest

Probably Indianapolis, unless I get ambitious and drive to Chicago. And I'll be singing

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

http://www.wgoeshome.com

[Ksec]

3. I dont see the passion like it was before the war started

Dont know why . Maybe people dont see any use /

[prolesunited]

5. Does that mean you're in or your out?

Not sure if there is any "use," but when there is an accounting of this time period in U.S. history and people ask, what did you do? I want to be able to say proudly that I stood fought.

What say the rest of you?

[Ksec]

17. I will protestith

I have to find the nearest one first. Prolly Pikksburg.

[prolesunited]

19. If you're looking for the location nearest you

Here's a link with a searchable database:

[Ksec]

21. Thanks prolesunited--- I just asked that question on the bottom

[democratreformed]

97. I was just fixing to ask this question. Thanks. n/t

[prolesunited]

142. Were you able to fine one near you?

Will you be participating?

[Sugarbleus]

4. I'm doing the one in San Jose CA...

Not sure if I'll have a sign...I have limited mobility. I wear homeade badges instead.

If I did have a sign, it would say:

'The business RIGHT and the religious RIGHT=a marriage made in Hell'

[CityZen-X]

136. Bodega, Ca.

My sign will read-NO MORE BU$H*T!

[stevedeshazer]

6. Raising hand

:hi:

City: Portland, OR

How many people?: Thousands, including my wife, son, daughter, daughter's boyfriend, uncle, and dog.

Sign? I'm going with this:

Side A (for the local media if I get on TV)


Side B (how I really feel)


Wild horses nor mounted police could keep us away. It's the one-year anniversary of my father's death. He was a WWII vet who hated war, with stories to back it up.

It's too important to miss. I hope everyone from
Fort Greely, Alaska


to McMurdo Station in Antarctica


and every point in between shows up in their communities, just as we all did last year.

[JanMichael]

7. My wife and I are

in Asheville.

Should be a gorgeous, fun weekend. Hoping to meet some other DUers there!

[Mari333]

8. Kalamazoo Michigan

600 or more there...its the closest place there is I can march with a lot of people.

[MSchreader]

39. Lansing, Michigan

That seems to be the central location for Michigan people. Can you make it there? I'll be there.

Martin

[debsianben]

48. Lansing, Michigan, also, obviously

Although I live in Kalamazoo, I'll definitely be coming to Lansing, which will, after all, be a state-wide demonstration. I think the MECAWI folks are going to have buses going down from Detroit. I'm not sure what other cities have anti-war coalitions mobilizing for Lansing.

It should be interesting.

Anyway, I don't know what any sign I may carry will say on it, but something that points out that Bush vs. Kerry is a choice between war criminals with Iraqi blood on their hands would be nice. }(

Shit, am I still allowed to point that out on DU?

[MSchreader]

50. For the moment

Until the DU-PATRIOT Act goes into effect.

Martin

P.S.: The banner is turning out wonderfully. Lisa's painting on it as I type.

[debsianben]

51. Excellent

What slogan was decided on for the banner?

[MSchreader]

53. Banner

The 'War on Terror' is a war on workers!
Regime change begins at home!
Socialist Party of Michigan - www.mi-socialists.org

Martin

[debsianben]

57. Sounds good

Also doesn't hurt that it's general enough that we can use it for all kinds other demonstrations that may come up too, not just Iraq-specific ones.

BTW, I saw the nightly news on CNN tonight joining Fox in spinning Aznar's defeat at the polls as a "victory for Al Queda." Just shows us what a dazzling array of choice between perspectives you get with "free market" media...on Chanel 5 (Fox), I can watch a barely literate fascist tell me that the election of the Spanish social dems was a victory for Al Queda, on Channel 34 (CNN), I can watch a well spoken fascist tell me that the election of the Spanish social dems was a victory for Al Queda.

Three cheers for the free press.

[MSchreader]

59. I hear ya

Glad I only listen to the CBC for news. At least their spin is tolerable.

Martin

[debsianben]

63. Good Old Canada

Just re-watched the classic South Park episode, "Not Without My Anus", about Saddam Hussein's attempt to take over Canada, today.

Actually, I notice that TV shows in general seem to find something incredibly funny about large groups of people singing the Canadian national anthem together--beyond the South Park episode just mentioned, there was an episode of the Simpsons that ended with every one joining hands and singing it together (the rest of the episode had nothing to do with Canada, it was the "pre-teen braves" episode) and (not that this is a show I regularly watch, I just happened to catch this particular episode) an episode of "That 70s Show" where the central characters make a beer run to Canada, on the way back the obviously foreign one can't produce a passport, and they convince the Mounties to let them go by singing the Canadian national anthem together in a stirring manner.

Oh well, it's 2:20, I just finished entering a couple of hundred grades into the computer and I'm free-associating here, so I'd best go to bed.

[ellie]

70. Hey!

I will be at the Lansing protest this weekend!

[MSchreader]

75. Cool!

Maybe debsianben and I will see you there. Just look for the Socialist Party of Michigan banner (the text is in the thread exchange, above).

Martin

[ellie]

76. OK!

I will look for it!

[cally]

9. I'll be there

with some great DUers in SF. See this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=5642&mesg_id=5642

[prolesunited]

32. To the DUers in SF

:yourock:

[Suspicious]

10. I will be there -

same place as last year, Lansing, Michigan. It looks like we might luck out on the weather this year, too - as opposed to last year, when I had to wear thermal pants under jeans, two sweatshirts + sweater and coat, two pair of gloves, two pair heavy socks and Thinsulate boots - the works. I was a bit too warm during the march, actually, but it was a mistake to stop moving for any length of time!

I am very much looking forward to next Saturday - my 14-1/2-year-old daughter and her friends are going with us, this year.

[Red_Storm]

11. NYC

I will be there !

[La Lioness Priyanka]

98. me too

[Red_Storm]

I'll be there with a few of my young(er than me) friends.

BMU

[Tinoire]

13. San Francisco protestor here. Possibly San Jose... n/t

[JohnOneillsMemory]

14. Gonna be in SF with my girlfriend, Michele the Mermaid.

And my sign will say:

LEGALIZE THE BILL OF RIGHTS on one side and

LEGALIZE ELECTIONS-
NO ELECTRONIC VOTING on the other side.

[prolesunited]

137. Lots of DUers are marcing together in SF

Perhaps you could meet up with them?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=5642&mesg_id=5642

[PDittie]

15. Crawford Texas, babee

with a sign that says "Will someone PLEASE sell me some Girl Scout cookies?"

[prolesunited]

18. I don't get your sign

:shrug:

[corporatewhore]

27. fundies have said girl scout cookies contribute to planned parenthood

[snooper2]

79. Count me in for Crawford as well..

Are you leaving from Mockingbird Station in Dallas?

[anarchy1999]

89. I think a Crawford DU meetup is in order here?

Anyone Else interested?

[Lisa0825]

118. I'll be in Crawford too!

Hope to meet some DUers there!

edited to add:

I am planning to make several signs. One will have a great big pretzel on the front and one word on the back: LIAR. I saw someone here had the sigline "Outsource BUSH." I like that, and might do it too. also: "It's the Jobs, Stupid."

I had though of a few more, but they escape me at the moment.

[Renew Deal]

16. NYC

Don't know, Don't know

[Stephanie]

61. Should we have a DU meeting place?

It's at Madison Sq., right? What time? I have relatives in town but might try to be there for an hour or so. We could arrange a meeting place if there is interest. rbnyc arranged the last one at Times Sq. in March. At the Feb. on there was no way to meet - we lost the people who had arrived with us - it was an incredible mass of people!

I'm thinking maybe meet over by Whole Foods? Or someplace else about a block away.

[Suziq]

83. I Would Love . . .

to attend in NYC, but do not have anyone to go with. I do not want to go alone.

If there was a meeting place for DU folks, I would definitely be there.

:hi:

[Ksec]

20. Is there a web site on the protest? Found it- nevermind...

Need locations and times

[prolesunited]

23. Just in case anyone missed it above

http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?caltype=&lcountry=&state=Select+A+State&bydate%5Bmonth%5D=3&bydate%5Bday%5D=20&bydate%5Byear%5D=2004&Search=Search

On edit: Keep in mind that this database doesn't contain every event, just the events that were submitted to this site. Check with your local organizations who organized previous events if you don't find a listing.

[Minstrel Boy]

22. Chomping at the bit here in Toronto.

It's been too long since the world's been in the streets. A criminal war has become a criminal occupation, and though it's become the "new normal", I'm even more outraged than I was last year. And last year I was fucking furious.

For a sign, I'm considering a picture of 12-year old Ali Abbas, and the caption "Congratulations on Disarming Iraq."

[iverglas]

67. ottawa

http://nowar-paix.ca/
http://ottawa.indymedia.ca/2004/02/4076.shtml

I assume Ed will be there; wonder whether Ottawa or Toronto will get Jack?

Also in Ottawa, the NDP candidate in Ottawa South (ex-Minister of Finance John Manley's old riding) is Monia Mazigh (married to Maher Arar, who was imprisoned and tortured in Syria after being deported there by the US), and I imagine she'll be in evidence.

.

[VLC98]

87. Great idea for your sign.

If I were able to participate in a protest, my sign would be about Ali Abbas too. Seeing what the US did to that poor little boy sent me into a depression that lasted for weeks. Thank you.

[corporatewhore]

24. austin and/or crawford my sign no us occupation of iraq no us funded

occupation of palestine

[Valerie5555]

25. Possibly a definite maybe for Calgary Alberta and I may mainly

go on my own if I do decide to go.

[prolesunited]

26. This is NOT good

Problems developing in Chicago. Just checked the Indymedia site for more details and apparently the city is denying a permit to march. Well, yes and no.

Mayor Richard Daley sounded a conciliatory note Wednesday toward peace activists who clashed with police last year and want to stage another downtown demonstration March 20.

But Daley firmly defended the city's decision to deny a permit for a protest to begin at Michigan Avenue and Pearson Street and end at Federal Plaza. City officials said a rally following that route would severely disrupt traffic.

<snip>

Daley said officials offered anti-war protesters the opportunity to take an alternative route that would disrupt traffic less for their new demonstration. Officials suggested beginning the protest at Washington Square Park, 901 N. Clark St., and proceeding south on Clark into the Loop.

The protesters rejected the offer, saying they wanted to begin at the spot where many of them were arrested last year. The city allows other marches in the same area, said Andy Thayer, the activist who applied for a permit for the March 20 rally.

http://chicago.indymedia.org/newswire/display/36951/index.php

I've been down the route the city is proposing and the organizers are right, it's dead on Saturday and you're just shouting out to buildings. Even at the smaller protests after the war had started, there were at least 1,000 people out there. How would it be less disruptive to stick that many people on the sidewalk?

Should be interesting.

[mopinko]

47. thanks for the heads up

wherever the chicago march or protest is, i will be there.
i will be selling buttons. i will probably print up some signs to give away.
here is a favorite of mine-

Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than thirty cities. It is two electric plants, each serving a town of sixty thousand population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than eight thousand people. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging upon a cross of iron.... aspire to this: the lifting, from the backs and from the hearts of men, of their burden of arms and fears - so that they may find before them a golden age of freedom and of peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, "The Chance for Peace," April 1953
Speech writers Emmet John Hughes and C. D. Jackson



people do read it all, you do have a lot of time on your hands at protests. at a march in d.c. someone was passing this out on postcards. this button started out as a sign, and this march inspired me to start making buttons, so i always like to take this along, also.

60. Santa Barbara, CA -- Central Coast Peace Coalition

I'll be there with my friends in the Vets for Peace et al. marching up the main drag, just like old times. No idea how many will show up to march with us, but everyone is doing their best to make it a full day of solidarity. Instead of a poster I may just carry my US/Earth flag combo, although I like "Like father like son/one term and he's done."

Hekate

[truthspeaker]

72. thanks for the info! where do the stripes go?

[revcarol]

74. Tie your cloth streamers near the top of the flag.

(If you have one of those cheap plastic flags, reinforce the hole you make with scotch tape.)They should be as long as the flag itself is, so they will not touch the ground.

[Mandate My Ass]

68. NYC

There'll be at least two of us, hopefully three and I'll be carrying my mopaul sign.

sign: "We Remember Bush Lied" over a picture of the Twin Towers

[StayOutTheBushes]

92. Why are you protesting the invasion anniversary?

.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

93. Because we don't agree...

with our country's decision to unilaterally invade another country after lying about the reasons for it, and we don't want the country & the White House to forget it was dead wrong.

[devilgrrl]

94. To remind the nation that we were right all along.

:shrug:

[prolesunited]

95. Because many of us were protesting the invasion

prior to its start. Much of what we said was the case — no WMDs, much loss of life, drain on treasury, civil unrest in Iraq — has come to pass.

The administration is trying to "celebrate" it as a good thing. We are simply going to be exercising our First Amendment rights to demonstrate that we don't agree. You don't support the troops by leading them needlessly to slaughter, lacking the proper equipment, and refuse to provide them with decent benefits upon their return.

You don't support the U.S. by raiding the treasury to build a new empires for corporated interests.
If people initially had mixed feelings, I think even more are having misgivings about it now, particularly with the growing sentiment that the Bush administration lied the U.S. and its allies into starting a war.

So, I think many more will be joining us. There will be a lot of anger and demands for peace in the streets on Saturday.

So, how do YOU feel about the invasion and about protests?

[thebigidea]

101. because Sean Hannity told me to... didn't you get the memo?

I'll be in NYC, no doubt. Eek!

we will carry a sign for a 4th who is a nurse and has to work.
2 more, my Dad is in the hospital and a sister has to stay with him, but they will be with us in spirit.

My sister's sign will say: Redefest Bu$h in 2004 and I think mine will say: M11 Spain says: They died to support Bu$h

12:30 Central and Nineth St Rigby Park Saturday!

[IkeWarnedUs]

111. I'll be in Chicago

I don't carry a sign - I pass out copies of significant articles. Last year I passed out almost 5000 copies of "The President's Real Goal In Iraq" from the Atlanta Journal Constitution and in DC last October I passed out over 2000 copies of British MP Meecher's "This War On Terrorism Is Bogus" from the Guardian. I'm still not sure what I will pass out on Saturday.

If I were carrying a sign it would say "I TOLD YOU SO".

[strategery blunder]

112. Rural MO, in Bible Belt Country

The Amnesty chapter here is planning a big event (at least by Kirksville standards) but the media here is incredibly pro-*. We'll be lucky to get any media coverage at all.

But I'll still raise hell. We're going to have ballons on the university courtyard for soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed.

For the last march I had a 'got blood' sign w/ a blow-up of * w/ a red moustache. I had a few ppl freaked out w/ that one !!!

I, as a Los Altos mom have few choices of those to be with me....they are scared that it could effect hubbys career, or that other church-goers would find out. Messed Up.... but I did try. Cheri and Vicki will come w/ me if they can find child care.

[democrank]

116. Vermont

Montpelier, Vermont vigil. No signs this time around, just a pair of shoes for each death caused by the arrogant, dangerous, lying Bush.

[prolesunited]

117. They did that on the plaza

in Chicago awhile ago. It was very effective.

It kind of reminds me of the piles of shoes exhibited in the Holocaust Museum in D.C. The image is so evocative — walking a mile in someone's shoes, thinking of the life attached to the pair of shoes.
