Something more to be angry about? More somber?

1. Good damned question!
I really don't know...By then things may have REALLY deteriorated and who knows what happens then...

3. I don't know, but the Pentagon's 9/11 Demonstration is ON! Yay
If we in LA are able to go, it will be a much decimated representation. So many were riding the Peace Train from New Orleans or Slidell. And, hundreds were joining along the route. Now, am pretty sure the Amtrak station is not even operable, and the route will probably not be accessible. But, if we from LA do show up, you can watch for some very interesting Katrina/Iraq banners!

7. I think it will make more people determined
to be there to be a part of the moment. Anyone with a heart can't help but feel like they want to kick shrub's butt right now...

8. If you guys go....please consider some very definite
signs or banners about the Katrina/Iraq linkup....where was our Nat'l Guard? And the $$$ that should have gone to prevent what happened in N.O. but was sent to Iraq. Thank you.

9. The number of those killed in NO would make BUSH more accoutable
only problem there is how many people will be detered from attending sept.24th protest because of gas prices-situation.

Mayor of my town just said some gas stations will be closed today and the days to come because they didn't get their gas inventories. He said he got a message from Wahington. (Cape Coral,Fla.)

11. absolutely yes!
The levee breach was due to lack of funding, money that was diverted to the war at the expense of the City of New Orleans. The people of that city are indirectly casualties of the war in Iraq.

13. Probably going to be way bigger and way angrier. And, protests ...
.... are going to be way bigger and way angrier in many other cities on the 24th as well.

And, we want all students, on the 26th, out of their classrooms and demanding Bush and Cheney be forced to resign or/and be impeached.

Peace.
