Salt Lake mayor to lead Bush protest
I didn't see this when I did a quick search, but I think it is past the date for the LBN forum.

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson plans to lead a demonstration to protest President Bush's appearance in the Utah capital Monday.

Anderson told the Salt Lake Tribune he hoped the demonstration would be "the biggest ... this state has ever seen," to protest Bush's appearance before a gathering of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

"This administration has been disastrous to the country," he said. "If people could organize and speak out in an effective manner from the reddest state in the country, that would garner a lot of attention."

...

"It makes the mayor look very, very unpatriotic," said Parkin (local VFW Official). "It makes him look despicable."

1. okay, time to nail the VFW official and show solidarity w/the governor
Who's the VFW official, where do we find other VFW branches, and where's the contact information for the governor?
