The people are turning against the U.S. war on Iraq, and President Bush is on the defensive. He is currently touring the country to defend his criminal policies of war, racism, greed and occupation.

On this tour, Bush is waging a campaign of lies. His biggest lie, a lie he has been repeating over and over again, is that this war is in the interests of working people here in the U.S. The truth is that working people in the U.S. and U.S. troops have much more in common with the Iraqi people than they ever will with the Bush administration, the Pentagon and Wall Street.

Now is the time for the anti-war movement to take the offensive. On Monday, August 29, let's greet Bush and tell him he's not welcome in Southern California. Bring your signs, voice of protests, drums and noisemakers!

1. What is this??? He's suppose to be in Az on Monday.

But we haven't gotten any time yet.

Where did you hear he was going to be in Calif?

I want to protest him Monday! Not fair:P
But if he decides to skip out on Az, and stay far away from my state...that's fine with me. You can have him, I don't want him!

He was going to come here to promote his Medicare program to senior citizens. Maybe he found out that McCain is against his plan. And since the #1 gop person in this state doesn't agree with him, maybe he decided he can't come here. lol

White House confirms Bush visit to Rancho
Joe Nelson, Staff Writer

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - President Bush plans to visit the city on Monday to discuss senior prescription drug plans and drum up support for the war in Iraq, White House officials confirmed Friday.

Bush is to arrive at Ontario International Airport before heading to the James L. Brulte Senior Center, where he will spend nearly 40 minutes in the early afternoon discussing his administration's new prescription drug benefit program to 200 invited guests and media. SNIP

6. Hello... Inland Empire?

I'm surprised there's not much excitement about the emperor himself coming here. When Cheney came to Riverside there where hundreds of protesters and a great time was had by all. Can we get something like that to happen Monday?
