Now more than ever we need to unite together and show the world that America is NOT happy with what Bush is doing - not with the war, not with the hijacking of our federal benches and definately NOT with this sneaky-ass behind-our-backs appointment of John Bolton to the UN.

DU (unofficially) will be having a major get together that weekend. A chance not only to have our voices heard, but to also meet other DUers from all over joining the protest.

Myself, Brainshrub and others are organizing events for the entire weekend including a Friday night pre-protest party, pre-protest breakfast, meetup and march together for the protest and of course, a post-protest gathering. My link below will have more details about some of the events whether you'll be there for the entire weekend or just coming in for the day. Come join other DUers and march together as we make our voices heard.

You can also check out the D.C. forum to find out more information about the activies and even find lodging, roommates, rides etc. Also check the UPJ website to find rides to DC. (YOu can also checkout at International Answer for transportation).

I'm sure that there will also be across the country so if you can't make it to DC try and find a local event and help make your voices heard. The last major protest they wanted to have events spread across the country, but this time they are looking to have one massive movement on DC - so the more that can make it the better

Hope to see you there. PM me if you have questions

3. Care2 do something important on 9/24!

Subject: THANKS! Have a GROUP on CARE2 to... list links and..
Encourage and connect folks who may be considering coming-with helpful info the advantage of using this is you can start a topic for each state and /or group. Also for those who really can't come to organize local activites etc.
If you have advice for folks from a paticular state please 'join' (FREE -OPEN -no spam) and begin a topic for your state -if not already listed. Give advice _in paticular folks from WDC, VA, or Md. may be able to help the timid-who don't want to stay in WDC but could commute in via train.
I am driving to WDC so if you need signs- I think I am bringing my van, from Westfiel, NJ but staying with my son in Baltimore I think.

6. General Strike

We've had many demos over the decades - all in the end useless, the slide into neofascism has continued. How about a GENERAL STRIKE TO SHUT DOWN DC for at least two days? With DC community participation & approval. I believe we need something new & more potent to get the Washington Mafia's attention.

7. Won't DC go into lockdown

with the huge crowd expected to be there protesting?

That's kind of a "strike" :)

8. *kick*

I noticed several of the state forums are starting to discuss this, and I'm dropping info in my favorite DU Groups !

At this rate, the DU event organizers may have to move the parties to a larger venue.....like RFK stadium! heh-heh.
