How will Katrina catastrophe affect nature of Sept. 24 D.C. protest?

[Hissyspit]

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...

[Hissyspit]

2. I still plan to be there. But will I have gasoline to get there?

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!

5. I hope you can make it, Ann.

Good luck in the days and weeks to come.

4. I was wondering too.

I had been thinking about the people who were going to take the Peace Train from New Orleans.:cry:

6. I'll be there

and I'll be even MORE PISSED OFF than I was before. I've gone from
:grr: to :nuke: since Monday.

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.)

10. I for one will be there and VERY angry. n/t

ed. Ann, my dear new friend, we can cry together in our hotel room. Hang in there, sweetie.

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.

12. We will be more pissed than ever thought possible

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.
