REMIND US

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

14. So it is getting out there, good.

I think there are a lot of people out there across the country who in their hearts are ready to turn against the war, but are afraid too.
I hope stuff like this in the news gives them the courage to speak out.

12. Excellent the Pictures and all of it..Within Five Miles of Bush "Pig Farm"

Wonderful. But, these folks were taking such a huge chance that they could have been "outed." We need to praise them and pass these Pix along. Because THEY are doing this for US!

Yay! Cindy!

19. Er, "trespassing onto school property"?

Isn't school property *public* property?

[KansDem]

24. I wondered the same thing...

The photos above show the heavy-set officer blocking the bus door so no one could exit, and the reason given was that the protesters were not to trespass on school property. However, I wondered if if was the real reason, then wouldn't all the protesters be trespassing since the bus itself is on school property? Or are you only trespassing if you step down out of the bus?

I thought, "Bullshit, the cops just don't want anyone to exit the bus. Period."
