Bush's Visit Helps Put Idaho Town on Map

"Bush arrives in Valley County on Monday evening, following a speech in Salt Lake City. He plans no public events in Donnelly, but will speak Wednesday in Nampa, west of Boise.

The White House has said Bush will be staying at the exclusive Tamarack Resort while participating in activities that could include fishing for wild rainbow trout or riding a mountain bike on forest trails with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, also a Republican"

2. There will be demonstrations in Boise and Nampa
IDAHO PEACE COALITION

Pro-Peace, Pro-Troops Rally to Tell President Bush to Bring the Troops Home

The Idaho Peace Coalition will sponsor an Iraq War Memorial and Rally for Peace on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at Capitol Park across the street from the Statehouse in Boise.

The group will dedicate memorials for those killed in Iraq at 12 noon in the park and read the names of dead U.S. soldiers during the afternoon.

At 7 pm there will be a Peace Rally. The Coalition will issue a warrant for the citizen arrest of President Bush, Potatoes for Peace will appear, and there will be speakers and music followed by a Memorial Procession.

This is a free, public event.

The Idaho Peace Coalition is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to peace and justice.

Contact Liz at 853-4435 or idahopeacecoalition@msn.com for more information.

4. There was one downtown at noon
across from the Capitol building. There were probably 150-200 people to get the reading of names off to a start. There was jerk who wandered thruout with a large sign that read: 'Who hates Bush more? Terrorists, Democrats or Satan?' Of course that's based on the assumption that all those in Idaho who don't agree with Bush are Democrats - not true. My father is a prime example; he was there.

This evening @ 7 pm - same place. 6th & Bannock.

6. Read that someone in Boise
rented the chicken suit to taunt Shrubby. Was the chicken spotted at any of the protests?
