1. I live way far off

but will be there in spirit....

too bad nobody thought to dress as Billionaires for Bush
at Mardi Gras last week
we make our costumes way too far in advance

but it is a brilliant effort

[still_one]

2. Last time he was in the

Silicon Valley he visited FMC, which makes the bradley tank, and gave the impression that they made it here, which they don't.

In addition, traffic was screwed up for hours

10. The Day of The Event

Good luck to all who attends .

Last night on KTVU news , they mentioned
something being stolen that may pose a threat
to bush today . I ended up falling asleep
before the covered the story .

I feel this wouldn't be the best protest
to bring my 7 yr old too .

Keep us posted on how it went .

And alittlelark , please check out the Bay Area March 20th
thread here in activism . perhaps we can meet you there .

Thanks again for posting this :hi:

11. You know...

when I saw this headline, the thought of all the hi-tech jobs he's helped send offshore came to mind.

It's almost like the criminal is returning to the scene of his crime.

[proud patriot]

12. No doubt

;-)

13. Not just high tech

That's the mistake a lot of folks are making... it's not just Silicon Valley programmers that are affected by the offshore moves. The worst impact is in the financial sector-- banks, credit card companies, brokerage companies-- which are moving their customer support functions to India.

[alittlelark]

14. The protest had a great turn-out

disorganised, yet high numbers. * ended up entering through a service entrance......because he is a coward. Which is what we all screamed at him as he took the cowards route.

Wish all DUers could have been there!!!

[proud patriot]

15. Thanks so much for the report

I was thinking of you today :hi:

[truthspeaker]

16. They didn't make you go to a free-speech area?

You were actually allowed within a block of the building?

17. KPIX report on protest

KPIX had an excellent story on just the protest and the issues behind the opposition to Bush:
