[mandyky]

20. Dish Network 9410

[RevolutionStartsNow]

3. That is insane!

Train service suspended all over the eastern seaboard...Laura said, "Thank God we weren't trying to evacuate from a hurricane!"

Good God. Nice try, White House. Looks like the people are coming anyway. But I wonder how many more people would be there.

[titoresque]

[New Earth]

[jasmeel]

12. Can anyone give us details since alot of us can't get the coverage?

[Z_I_Peevey]

15. I can run back and forth between rooms

and report as best I can.

That will be my "march."

[jasmeel]

16. Thanks! I can't believe there's no streaming video!! What year is

this?

[liberal43110]

42. They are a subscription service

They are not going to stream their satellite channels for free on the internet...their whole reason for being is to sell tv channels that you can't get with your basic cable or get for free on the web.

[Jeanette in FL]

13. Oh thank goodness

Now we can get some real coverage of what is going on.

[OnionPatch]

14. Wow!

Thanks! This is great!

[lyonn]

17. Laura just said that the mood seems more serious

than previous demonstrations. Only saw about 45 min of rally but the crowd did appear serious and a bunch of good lookin' patriots!

[jasmeel]

18. Any Cindy Sheehan at the WH?

[lyonn]

51. Apparently this is showing a particular rally from this a.m.

Have only started watching since this was posted. So, probably not going to see Sheehan. Just don't know.

Edit: It is a live rally, Operation Ceasefire, Wash. D.C.

[lakeguy]

19. I WANT LINK TV! damn it!

[malaise]

21. No internet link ...help

BBC showing their rally from this morning

edit sp

[FreedomAngel82]

30. I didn't know they had a rally too

Did they have a big crowd as well?

[lyonn]

53. Link has a web site, don't know if they are streaming this,

is that the right word, don't know 'puter terminology. Besides, I have dial up.

[Z_I_Peevey]

22. Talking about New Orleans

"Who will determine who profits?"

The post 911 victim compensation fund, and how there has been no discussion of funds for the Katrina victims. How the question was whether to rebuild or not.

Ties the "rebuilding of Iraq" to the rebuilding of New Orleans...private security forces, Halliburton.

[jasmeel]

23. Are they done covering the march?

[Z_I_Peevey]

24. Didn't catch who the speaker is, sorry...

"tired of being...lied to. The United States does not deserve to have a president who lies to the people...makes feeble excuses about why he left poor people black and white stranded and abandoned in New Orleans, Louisiana...George Bush should be ashamed of what he allowed the world to see about our country."

Oh, its my gal Maxine Waters.

[Z_I_Peevey]

26. speakers, not sure of the venue

[RevolutionStartsNow]

25. Maxine Waters speaking now

nt

[marions ghost]

27. Maxine Waters speech at the Monument is great

on LINK TV --and THIS is NOT being filmed by C-Span apparently (unless they plan to show it later).

We've just got to get some media coverage that gets out to mainstream America.

[New Earth]

29. i want linkTV

:cry:

i wanna see so bad :(

[lyonn]

33. Sad isn't it?

More reason for people to physically get out there and make a visual statement, too bad the media choses to ignore it. So what is new? We are in deep dodo.

I so appreciate those that are out there doing the protesting for us that can't. Thank you, thank you.

[Z_I_Peevey]

28. Maxine Waters

He lied about securing America, he made people believe he was going to protect them from terroris. George Bush is responsible for more terrorists in the world..

He told us...who did he give us? Incompetent, lying Michael Brown who had no experience with disaster. Another George Bush lie. He told us he cared about people, about poor people. What's the first thing he's done? Waived Davis-Bacon...now his friends, who he gave no-bid contracts to..now they can hire people at less than prevailing wages. That's how he cares about poor people.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Yep

Galloway made this point last night on Maher's show. He stated how the US and Britian have created more BinLaden's. Every time someone is killed there is a new BinLaden. I can't believe I'm quoting him, but even Pat Buchanan gets it. He said they don't like us cause we're there. I remember seeing a documentary on CNN about Saudi Arabia and their government. One part of it someone was shown and saying they don't like the Western world and don't want any part of it since they consider it evil and stuff (pop culture and things like that).

[Z_I_Peevey]

31. speakers and bands until 1 a.m.

Steve Earle, Queen Latifah, Joan Baez, did she say The Who?

"Most of the people have not yet made it because they are on the march...there are hundreds of thousands of people on the march from it looks like just about every state in the country."

[FreedomAngel82]

38. Queen Latifah?!

She's great!

[patrioticliberal]

32. MAXINE ROCKS!

[AlamoDemoc]

35. Sign the petition "Operation Ceasefire"

An Open Petition to President Bush:

http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/Ceasefire/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=117

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Done

And yes Maxine rocks too. :D

[Z_I_Peevey]

36. recounting stories of grieving mothers now

Laura Flanders...how soldier died after jerry-rigging steel to the roof of his unarmored vehicle, because it was unbalanced and wrecked.

Maxine: Let the word go out..we are dead serious. We want our children back. We want the occupation stopped. We're taking our country back from you, Mr. President.

urges crowd to visit district offices of Congress, tell them its time to get the courage, to stand up for the people, make good, decent public policy

tell them they don't deserve to be in the Congress of the United States of America if they don't have the courage

[Z_I_Peevey]

37. despite the fact

that we have George W. Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and God forbid, Condi Rice.....they don't speak for us

these are the people that must be heard...

Maxine Waters, done now

[Z_I_Peevey]

58. Baez: the administration set up a wall of denial,

Michael Moore cracked that wall, the Gold Star mothers made a pathway, Cindy put her foot through it, and we followed.

Now singing Joe Hill

[lyonn]

60. Oh hell, Joan Baez just sent me over the top

with her statement, how mike moore, gold star moms, Cindy kept breaking through bush's wall. Now she is singing. Brought me to a point in my history when we felt we could change things. Now, we feel helpless and hopeless. The insanity of it all. Go figure.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

63. She's giving me chills...

I love her.

[Z_I_Peevey]

61. Operation Ceasefire

the concert name

Goodman says hundreds of thousands of marchers in Washington

Flanders interviews a journalist (didnt catch name): the carnage continues...they essentially have a policy of devastating one city after another down the Euphrates

Will Iraqi people know of the anti-war demonstration? It has had the effect of opening up some windows..local reporting and Al-Jazeera...any international source that will report this, it will be a welcome news to a lot of people in Iraq because it is a sign that the two peoples are united in suffering

Iraqi opinion of U.S. troops in Iraq? Flanders says she understands huge majority want us out. Journalist: clearly in favor of ending the occupation and ending it fast

[cyberpj]

65. "Will Iraqi people know of...." It's on webpage - w/be in print too.

http://www.aljazeera.com/

[Z_I_Peevey]

62. Link TV, Free Speech TV, International World Television

journalist: says he does not do interviews, but the only reason he accepted was because it was Amy Goodman

journalist has a website but they didn't say it out loud and I can't see the TV, sorry

[lyonn]

74. Journalist: Dahr Jamail. nt

Lynn Woolsey, one of my favorite congresspeople now speaking. Nothing but the truth she speaks.

Barbar Lee, another great congresspeople, now speaking.

[Z_I_Peevey]

68. Laura Kagan (sp?)

again speaking of the hundreds of thousands in the streets, says they will be there tomorrow and Monday too with nonviolent protest

[Z_I_Peevey]

71. Thank you Cindy Sheehan

for waking up America.

she's a member of the Out of Iraq Caucus (66 members)

she shakes her head when she remember's Bush's words: I have to get on with my life

"your immoral Iraq policy...shame on you for sending them to their deaths for a lie"

"This war is a failure, justified by a fraud. You get it, because you are here, and you are far ahead of Congress.."

[Z_I_Peevey]

72. Hey DU, I have to go

Can somebody else please report on the speakers?

[Z_I_Peevey]

78. Al Sharpton up now

LOL: "How do we have a president that chases weapons that aren't in Iraq and can't find hurricanes that are in New Orleans?"

[RevolutionStartsNow]

79. "Broken levees are weapons of mass destruction!"

:rofl:

[lyonn]

81. Cindy speaking to Amy and Laura now

She definitely speaks well for all of us. Course we already knew that.

Cindy just said she was speaking on stage soon.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

82. Jim Hightower on now!

Yay!

"It's a hoot to watch George W hopping around the country like a sand flea on steroids."

Also asking why the Bush twins, and the numerous Bush nieces and nephews, aren't in Iraq.

[annagull]

83. Cindy!!!

Wow!

[lyonn]

84. Hightower

He is speaking of how Bush's family has plenty of elligible kids to send to Iraq, roughly 12 of them. Don't need a draft, just make all those on the Hill that vote for war send their own first to fight it.

Cindy is now speaking. Speaking of Bush's "noble cause." - For every one of you here there are 100 that want to be here. - Fire those representing us that won't listen and speak out for us.

[phusion]

85. Cindy rocks!

:woohoo:
