September 24, 2005, protest surrounding the White House?

[frankly_fedup2]

A guy called in to CSPAN and was stating that the American People should be there to surround the white house on 9/24/05. Any particular groups involved with this, or was this just some guy running off his mouth?

I hadn't heard of any large group (or little for that matter); however, I didn't know if there was being something organized or what.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

1. No that is a major protest that is planned

The Peace Train will be picking up people from New Orlean all the way up to DC on the East coast. http://www.newdemocracyrising.com/

4. I have to be in CA

family wedding :( What a day to have a wedding!! I will include in my toast that I love them so much that I missed the Peace Train to come to the wedding!

Yes do go if you are able. I went in Jan of '03. 5 busses from SC went up... left at 10pm got there at 6am - got back to the busses I think at 4pm and back in SC at 2am. Exhausting but exhilarating!

2. There Are Two Big Groups I Know About

There is an organization Impeach Bush that will be there and are trying to fill busses from all over the country. And there is a Stop the War group. Sounds like it is going to be huge.
