Resignation March on Washington July 4th 2004

[Oddman]

A march on Washington DC on July 4th to demand the resignation of George W. Bush is being organized. Will you go?

[calimary]

1. Drat! Can't leave L.A. Sure wish there was one here, too.

I would go, and take the kids, as I did with the peace marches.

[Kitsune]

2. Who's organizing it?

Links?

[Oddman]

4. We are . . .

4th of July - Washington DC - to demand the resignation of George W. Bush.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. You know we need these marches across the nation

And we need them ASAP

[Minstrel Boy]

10. Right - ASAP.

The world needs to see Americans in the streets.

[Oddman]

15. Agreed

We need to show the world we care . . .

[doni_georgia]

27. Yep, ,the more cities with protests the more press

Protests and marches in DC are common place. We need simultaneous marches across the country on the same days!

3. Ok lets think about this first - If Bush goes, we get to have Cheney

If Cheney goes, who are we going to be saddled with then? Speaker of the house? That would be Dennis Hastert? How bad is he?

[Carni]

6. Not as bad as those two assholes

But not exactly a gig! :(

[Wapsie B]

7. Denny's little more than

Tom Delay's bitch. Delay calls the shots in the House but he's got problems of his own back home.

[PaDUer]

31. What kind of problems

does he have back home?

[Wapsie B]

33. I believe it was

campaign finance problems. It's been discussed here a few weeks ago.

28. edited below for correctness

oops, I was wrong here. But Hastert was among the ones who apparently 'didn't like the 'Frenchies' and talked about some sort of economic ramification for the French's refusal to support the US on the Iraq issue.

Original post:
"Hastert is the one who really started the whole 'Freedom Fries' silliness
That's maturity and rational thinking for you. :eyes:"
-------
on edit: sorry I'm wrong here. It was Robert Ney (R-Ohio) that put the 'freedom fry' thing in place in the House cafeteria. Hastert said around that time that he was considering 'legislation against French wine and mineral water.'

Many other google links as well for "Freedom Fries+Hastert"

8. I'd be there in a heart-beat!

March on the White House? French-style?

Count me, my cold, silent rage and my knitting needles, in.

[Oddman]

9. Let's end this administration once and for all

He wasn't elected and we'll help him out the door . . .

[TahitiNut]

14. "Silent"? Uhhh.....

... how did that happen? :silly:


:loveya:

[seemslikeadream]

24. I'm there too!

Love to see you. I'm so pissed this morning, I can't see straight. Don't bring those needles on the plane they'll label you a terrorist.

[anarchy1999]

11. Hell Yes!

We are there!

Details, PLEASE!

[Oddman]

13. Details will be worked out and posted here

A website is currently being created to assist with the development of this very important march. Americans unite for the real fight!

[never_get_over_it]

12. My nephews

will be with me for their summer visit...I just might have to take them - I live in VA outside DC....would be a great experience for them.

[DancingBear]

16. In a heartbeat

With an open invitation to any and all DU folks in northern VA (and everywhere) to join us.

If you're coming from out of state, and you need a place to stay the night before, let us know. We have room in the house, and 60 acres outdoors if you'd like to sleep under the stars.

We're here to help.

[Oddman]

17. Fantastic!

The 4th of July is on a Sunday this year.

[anarchy1999]

18. 4th of July March on Washington - We want our Country BACK!

Just Beautiful!

[Beam Me Up]

19. I'm kicking this back up.

Something to SERIOUSLY consider folks! Only, I wonder if we should WAIT until July 4. That's 45 or so days away...a long time the way things are unfolding these days.

[Must_B_Free]

20. Will Bush make it to July 4?

I doubt it. This administration is over already.

[Oddman]

21. Good point - July 4th was for the symbolism

But maybe it should be sooner - to show the world we really do care about these atrocities and we will hold our "elected" officials accountable . . .

Let's get this moving . . . a website is being created . . . let's settle on a date and go from there . . .

Does anyone have any connections to the music industry?

Blood is on the hands of our Lady MacBush.

Out damn bush! Out, I say!!

[Kanary]

22. Memorial Day would also be fitting

But that's a little *Too* soon.

Thanks for proposing such a good idea!

Thanks for working on this!

26. TEARS OF RAGE

We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day,
And now you'd throw us all aside
And put us on our way.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun
Would treat a father so,
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always tell him, "No"?
Tears of rage, tears of grief,
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.

We pointed out the way to go
And scratched your name in sand,
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand.
Now, I want you to know that while we watched,
You discover there was no one true.
Most ev'rybody really thought
It was a childish thing to do.
Tears of rage, tears of grief,
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so low
And life is brief.

It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe.
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse.
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief,
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so low
And life is brief.

29. Worth keeping kicked!

I, unfortunately, could not attend there, HOWEVER, maybe we Illinois DU'er's could get something going CENTRALLY? (as in south of Chicago? Peoria?). I would DEFINITELY participate in it!

[chimpymustgo]

32. Restore dignity and honor to the White House!

[IHaveADream]

34. I like that!!

Restore dignity and honor to the White House!!!

Heal our country. Heal our world!

[Oddman]

35. Great!

Now we need state organizers, entertainment organizers, and permit organizers . . . After today's speech by bush it is clear he is delusional and must step down.
