Reporting from OUR Nation's Capital: the March headquarters

[diamond14]

Come to DC, Join us ! October 25, 2003, 11 AM at the Washington Monument....Bring OUR Troops Home Now !!!
http://www.internationalANSWER.org

Just got back from the "Bring OUR Troops Home Now" headquarters in DC.

it's such a good group of volunteers over there....everyone laughed so hard, when I read the story "Bush's "spirit" cursed with black magic, tossed into Thai river" (posted on DU News, thanks).

there are more and more local co-ordinators sending buses from all over America, and an exhuberant feeling that the tables have turned for the shrub "perpetual war" policy....

Here is the work that MUST be done this week. Everything is being done by volunteers, so DUers can help enormously here: GET ONE MORE PERSON TO COME TO THE MARCH ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25 !!!!!


If people are in college or unemployed, the local coordinators can help you get to DC....don't hesitate and don't let your financial woes keep you from your Patriotic duty....bring your American Flags, everyone, because this March is to SUPPORT OUR TROOPS and BRING THEM HOME NOW !!!! bus tickets can still be purchased, because more buses are added all the time...get on the bus and join Patriot Americans in OUR Nation's Capital.....

bring your neighbor, your church companions, your mother, your friends....


endorsing this March and working hard to make it a success
(come join us and BRING A FRIEND !)
