9/9/03 – Broward Protests *’s return to scene of crime

[sunscreened]

Whistle ass will be at Pier 66 in Broward County on Tuesday.
$2,000 a plate fund raiser.
Protest Bush’s Farewell Tour on 17th Street bridge from 4:00 – 6:00.

I think Randi Rhodes will be there (somebody can probably set me straight on this, I caught a bit of this yesterday) and at least 3 buses from Palm Beach are coming. The sheet metal union will be there and has penned a number of cadence chants to use. The suggestion is to wear all black and carry a white cross like the ones in Arlington. A sea of black and white – will the press ignore this? Some military families should be there as well. Am hoping this will be big and weather holds out. The police have said – at least to this point – that there will be no 1st amendment pens. Any other S. Florida DUers going?

I will be there at the scene of our stolen democracy and am taking you all with me. The 17th Street Causeway will be filled with your spirit.

For each and every one of you, in the very dark heart of the coup, I will stand in opposition and be heard.

For Admin, mods, BBV warriors, regular and daily thread starters, writers, researchers, talkers, activists, flash and graphic artists, photoshoppers, web masters, mirrorers, bloggers, comedians, international Duers, astrologers, armies of one, foot soldiers, brothers, sisters, yaks and hood ornaments. For alljunkmail, Sally Baron and those gone before us.

I am only one, but carry the energy and will of DU with me. I will stand for you, you have all done so much for me, it’s the very least I can do for you.

3. Hope you can make it

I'll send you a PM. Fort Lauderdale, especially where the protest will be, is really pretty. Please, no roach or lizard hitchhikers, we have plenty of our own.

6. Thanks and back at ya

I am extremely worried about this recall in Cal. Nobody here even knew what had hit them in 2000. At least you guys know what kind of tactics they use from the Florida experience and can get out in front of it. They will try to discourage voter turnout through all kinds of propaganda, so get out the vote!

7. Randi Rhodes is a key

organizer for this great event and sure to be there. She, like you, has a great passion to get the job done. You can probably get all the info on her site at www.therandirhodesshow.com. Am in West Palm and wish so much I could join you but will be with you and watching the news and looking for pics and commentaries. Thank you for your post. Looks like we will be well represented.

8. bandy

thanks for the info. I thought I understood that Randi was involved, but I knew she wasn't so big on the antiwar protests, so I wasn't sure if she was just giving air time or a part of it. She is the best!

I hope South Florida gets out and tells that thief exactly what it thinks of him!

[bandy]

12. there will be a lot of military families

according to the caller on her show. Wish so bad I could be there. Randi was on vacation last week and planning this! She is pumped and ready to go. She is the best.

9. W will also be in Jacksonville on 09/09/03

Why does W want to remind everyone of 9-11 and his Florida performance? Is he that insane, that he believes he acted bravely that day. That he proved to the world his great leadership?

I believe 09/09/03 will be a bad day for W. Let's all help do what we can, to make sure it is.

10. I wish I could be there for this one

I think the "black and white" idea is a good one-
