OneThousandCoffins.Org !!! Do You All Know About Them?

[leftchick]

Fred Wright, along with other volunteers helps to construct nearly one thousand full-sized commemorative coffins draped in the American Flag in memorial tribute to the soldiers who have died in Iraq (news - web sites), Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2004, in the Brooklyn Borough of New York. The night's event organized by 'OneThousandCoffins.Org' is in preparation for a half-mile long solemn procession planned for Sunday, August 29 that will pass the Madison Square Garden one day before the start of the Republican National Convention.

5. Its a good tribute, as long as people are sincere about it

The people involved will have to be careful, however, because the media will spin this as a bunch of "fringe leftists" who are "exploiting the dead" to "make Bush look bad".

7. BRILLIANT!

Great idea! Hope they're not stopped from doing it, though. A huge anti-Bush banner was taken down by cops today. It was enormous, draped out of several hotel windows.

Or encourage local chapters across America to stage their own coffin marches.
