Women use Weather Balloon to lift 40-Foot Pink Banner in Front of White House with the Message: "Women Say: Fire Bush"

The banner, reading "Women Say: Fire Bush, " marked the kick-off of a campaign calling on women to Give George Bush a Pink Slip in November 2004.

"He lied to Congress and the American people about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and is robbing our children of a viable future as he lines the pockets of his already wealthy corporate friends.
