I think this weekend will be a weekend to never forget
With gurner's* performance at this morning press cough setting the tone :scared:
Cindy Sheehan's presence at the Whitehouse
The huge number of marcher's in Washington DC :applause:
The mobilizing of the guard for said march
Rita :cry:
We are living in one of the most pivotal times in American History
And WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS :patriot:
I predict * won't be able to pull out of this :nopity:
Pull up a seat and gather around for the show and a show it will be
:woohoo: :toast: :popcorn:

3. There is a huge anti-war march in DC this weekend
see the link at the bottom of my post for details.

I think the poster is pointing out the due to all these events at once, and bush's polls tanking, we will shine, we will get media coverage, the tide is turning.

I sure think so.

:patriot:

4. The Cindy Tour
I understand there will be hundreds of thousands there. ANSWER, progressives for peace, new socialits of America, Code Pink, GLBT, Palestinians for truth and more. It will make other rallies look small.

2. Indeed
I already plan on staying home with the tube on. I'll work off some nervous energy doing some heavy cleaning. For some reason, when all hell is about to break loose, I get the urge to clean house. Maybe it's the "wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident" mentality?

11. Oh my gawd!
My kid is going. It is her first. I am sweating bullets! She is going with a bunch from her college. I am just going to assume the fetal position until I hear that she is back in school. In one piece.

13. My 21-year-old daughter
Went to the Cindy candlelight vigil (her first political activity of any kind!)with me a few months back and she asked me if I was going to attend one of the protests this weekend. I told her to gather up some college chums and go... I don't know if she is brave enough. Vigils and protests are not quite the same animal:)

6. I sure hope you're right, but don't be surprised if there's not much news
coverage, given Rita and all. I do home the networks find some time to cover the DC rally, though. I really do. It would be a shame for it to go unnoticed.

7. History in the making -- DC this weekend!
We will join together from across the country

and make our voices heard.

I love my country too much to sit by and allow these war criminals to continue ruining it without registering my objections.

THE TIME IS NOW! IT IS URGENT WE TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE CRIMINALS.
