Bush protest in Atlanta on Monday 5/17 |
|
This is from a thread in General Discussion:
Just received this from the GAforDennisKucinich group e-mail. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend, as I just had surgery on my foot. But hope some other GA DUers will.
Date: Sun, 16 May 2004 03:07:43 -0000 From: "azitamarcus" <azitamarcus@earthlink.net > Subject: PROTEST BUSH IN ATLANTA MONDAY 5 - 7 PM--SPREAD THE WORD!
LET US NEVER PERMIT BUSH TO SHOW HIS FACE IN ATLANTA WITHOUT BEING CONFRONTED!
WHAT: PROTEST AGAINST BUSH during fund-raiser at Buckhead mansion of Home Depot Chairman and CEO Robert Nardelli.
WHEN: MONDAY, MAY 17, 5 TO 7 PM
WHERE: INTERSECTION OF NORTHSIDE DR./ GARMON RD./ W.GARMON RD. The estate of Robert Nardelli is near this intersection at 1250 W. Garmon Rd. Selection of the protest location was a judgment call made after looking at available parking space on Northside Drive, possible media attention, and the likely route of Bush and supporters. If we are told to move our bodies or cars, we will just get as close as possible to that intersection.
HOW TO GET THERE: CAR POOL OR DRIVE SEPARATELY (NO MARTA)
If you have the time, meet at Candler Park Marta Station parking lot at 4 pm. We will pile into a few cars and leave promptly at 4:20 (14 miles to the intersection, 25--30 minutes). If you can come after work and arrive by 6, please drive straight there.
DIRECTIONS: www.mapquest.com for 1250 W. Garmon Rd., Atlanta, GA 30327 OR as follows: North on I 75; take exit 256, right onto Mt. Paran Rd (.8 mi); left onto Garmon Rd. (.7 mi) to Northside intersection. We are hoping that I 75 will not be shut down. To make sure, phone DOT 404-635-6800 on Monday. The alternative will be to drive straight north on Northside Drive to the Ga rmon intersection from the Northside Dr./Howell Mill Rd off I 75 just north of I 75/I 85 split. This route takes longer.
POSTERS AND BANNERS: Bring your own poster or banner with your message (and extras if possible)!!!
