Rocky's call to protest Bush makes vets see red

8/20/2005

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson called for "the biggest demonstration this state has ever seen" to protest President Bush's appearance Monday before a national veterans convention.

"This administration has been disastrous to the country," Anderson said Friday. "If people could organize and speak out in an effective manner from the reddest state in the country, that would garner a lot of attention."

In an e-mail Wednesday to about 10 activist leaders, the maverick mayor of Utah's capital called for a diverse demonstration to greet Bush when he speaks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Salt Palace Convention Center. The mayor plans to join the protesters.

"There should be a collaboration of health-care-provision advocates, seniors, the community, anti-Patriot Act advocates and other civil libertarians, anti-war folks, pro-Social Security advocates, environmental advocates, anti-nuclear-testing advocates, and anti-nuclear-waste-shipment-and-storage advocates," the mayor wrote in the e-mail.

7. Is this for real?

In Mormon country? My mom's a Mormon (converted when she married 2nd husband in late '70's. She was in hospital a few weeks ago. Her DR is from her church. Asked me if I was LDS. Said no, I'm Buddhist. Thought his head was gonna explode) and she says they are all ** all the way. But she's been known to lie. :eyes: Yeah, Rocky, stay out of small planes and maybe don't go out to pick up the morning paper (wasn't that where the pipe bomb was hidden? - no probably wrong.)

Anderson, who is scheduled to make welcoming remarks to the conventioneers, says veterans will understand. "The veterans of foreign wars are heroes in my view. To stand up against government misconduct is in no way expressing a lack of support for those who defend our country."

Give 'em hell, Rocky!!!!
