What about an International Protest Day?
If it can be organized, I think it's something that needs to be considered. It might start with a web site and then maybe by email and word of mouth.

It would show these stupid Bush voters that most of the world hates George Bush and America for what they've done.

A peaceful protest of millions and millions of people would be something the press would have to cover. I think I just might start working on this today.

Let me know what you think. If you agree, then come up with a day. I say January 31st, 2005.

1. Isn't his corenation on January 21st? That would be a good day
for everyone to unite in protest, but how? I know there will be a lot of protesters in Washington that day, but a World-Wide Protest would be an amazing feat for anyone to pull off. First I would think you would have to have money . . . a lot of money. Quick, somebody call George Soros.

4. Well to tell you the truth, they already know we hate him. They . . .
just haven't told him everything. So would it be a waste of time or would it help anything? Would it get him to bring our troops home from the madness?

I wonder if Kerry were not elected if once he was sworn in office if he would have tried to bring some home on a regular schedule. That is a lose-lose situation over there. There is no end to it. You know that they have to see that too. However, to save face, they let other Americans be murdered for their own stupid pride. Saddam is gone, there were no WMD. Yet they believe there will be elections in January. How do you have an election in total chaos? Plus, who would be stupid enough to want to be elected?

3. Geez - do you remember February 15, 2003?
I seem to recall millions around the world marching against Bush and his oil war. Had no effect whatsoever.

5. I'm not necessarily looking for an effect...
I think it would be good for the world and the smart Americans that voted against Bush.

I think it would piss off those that support Bush.

I think it would strengthen the base and give us hope.

I think it help to heal many of us that were stunned and sickened on Nov. 3.

I think it allow us to do SOMETHING, instead of sitting on our hands.

I think it would show the Bush supporters that the rest of the world does not support this unjust war.

I think it is important make a point.

7. my protest
I have my kerry sign still planted on my front lawn I plan on leaving it there..for the next 4 years if need be.

and I'm wrapping christmas lights around the sucker!

It's a sublte protest but imagine if it caught on subria littered with Kerry signs. Now let Rove target subria with a a sign on the front lawn that tells him we don't accept his retard.
