Chimpy in NJ today, if you can, come join in the protest
December 1 - Protest Bush in Hanover, NJ - George W. Bush is coming to the Hanover Marriott on Rt. 10 in East Hanover, NJ (Morris County) on Monday, December 1, at 5:30 P.M. His Fraudulency will be attending another $2,000 per person fund raiser, and we should give him a welcome he won't soon forget.

Protest will take place on will take place on the front lawn of the Marriott, closest to Route 10. The protest will begin at 3:30pm (1/2 hour before George W. Bush is scheduled to arrive) and will end at 6:00pm -- though you are encouraged to get there during the earlier part of the protest, if at all possible, to avoid rush hour traffic. THERE WILL BE NO PARKING ALLOWED AT THE MARRIOTT OR ON RIDGEDALE AVENUE. However, parking WILL be allowed in the parking lot of the PNC Bank, located at 2 Ridgedale Avenue.

Once parked, you can walk through a pathway, up toward Route 10, and arrive at the area where we will be asked to congregate. You can also park on the next road following the PNC Bank, i.e. Wing Road, and walk through a pathway to the Marriott.

For more information, please contact the NJ Peace Action office at (973)744-3263.

1. I'm tempted to go...
but I suspect the real protest will be the thousands of cars stuck in the biggest traffic jam in history.

If they take the usual route, Newark Airport, I78, 24, I287, and Route 10 will be closed for the landing and the motorcade. This is the sort of thing that really pissed off people when his father came here campaigning.

2. Yup, from 3PM till he arrives at 4PM
If everything is on schedule, and then for another hour after he leaves, which should completely tie up traffic all afternoon and into the evening. I'll also be interested to see the gushing in the papers tomorrow.
