[cyberpj]

even though we all know they'll do everything in their power to keep it off cameras - CSpan might show more:

Kick-Off of 1st "America Supports You Freedom Walk" (10am)
LIVE CSPAN1 ON SUNDAY
http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/fullschedule.csp?timeid=211993150855

From the FREEDOM WALK site:
What is the America Supports You FREEDOM WALK?
- The America Supports You FREEDOM WALKis an event that allows citizens the opportunity to remember the victims of September 11, honor our American servicemen and women, past and present, and commemorate our freedom.
- The America Supports You FREEDOM WALK is a walk of remembrance and support. Remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon, Twin Towers, and Flight 93 over Pennsylvania, and support of the many American men and women in uniform, past and present, who protect our freedom.

(And look, you have to have "credentials": )
"To avoid long lines on the morning of the walk, we are encouraging all walkers to pick-up their walk credentials at one of the designated pre-distribution centers prior to September 11, 2005. Please bring your printed confirmation ticket to verify your registration."

WHAT IS BUSHVILLE?-
Bushville, DC will be the FACT that even George Bush can’t bluster away.
http://www.bushville.org/

Bushville will stay through:
-Rumsfield’s 9/11 Freedom March
-The Katrina investigations and trials.
-The catharsis of Rove’s treason conviction.
-The Supreme Court coronations.
-Bush’s last days of office - soon.
-The rebuilding of our government’s ability to protect us.

Perhaps there will be only 3 of you, perhaps hundreds.

Stand together on the Mall with signs saying “Bushville, DC” and you have founded a symbolic City of Dissent. Take pictures and circulate them so the vision spreads.

Activists who are willing to risk jail should non-violently stand their ground.

We are NOT counter-demonstrating against the Freedom March. They are commemorating the tragedy of 9/11/01 and should be honored. We are all Americans and it’s time to be kind to one another again.

This is NOT an organized event. There is no official March.

Come to the Mall and Build Bushville, DC.

- The police dislike Bush as much as we do - treat them with firm politeness.
- We need volunteers to teach non-violent protest techniques.
- We need people with video cameras.
- We need lawyers on the scene.
- We need a spirit of healing and community.

1. Interesting that only CSPAN will be covering

Do you have any guesstimate on the numbers for Bushville? Is Cindy Sheehan still going to camp out in DC? Haven't heard anything about that.

3. There may well be other coverage (can't imagine BushCo would pass it up)

I just posted this cause I got a notification from Cspan.

Also - I only just found out about Bushville so I looked it up - sorry I don't have more info for ya.

2. Rotten bastards! Their shamelessness knows no bounds!

They can only do sh*t like this because of our cowardly, corporate media. If we had a functioning media, they would be shamed out of this. I cannnot imagine that the 9/11 families are pleased to be used this way of the Bushistas' Pentagon.

4. With all that's happening right now this will come off just as pathetic

as it is. More and more people w/be looking at all Bush ever did in a new light which will now make Fitzpatrick's actions even more powerful when they come. (And that's very very soon I hear.)

I'm telling you, history is going to have a field day with Bush once we're all done with him.

People whose idea of freedom is walking through a fenced in area while police copters buzz overhead will have a grand time.
