The sign I will carry in DC on the 24th:

[redwitch]

Bush: The man NEVER has an exit strategy.

[deadparrot]

1. Only to get out of Viet Nam.

;)

[redwitch]

3. oops forgot about that

I was just thinkin' Iraq and Katrina. Hmmm. May have to rethink this! How about Bush: Get an exit strategy that works as good as the one you used to get out of VietNam... Nah. Too long. :-)

[dweller]

6. just end with an *

*except service in Vietnam

dp

[redwitch]

10. good idea

thanks, dweller! :hi:

[sepia_steel]

2. I WANT TO BE THERE

I am worried it could get violent. Is that silly of me?

[MaggieSwanson]

4. Please come!

I'm heading over from Iowa.

We need to do this. For our world, our country, our children...please come!

[redwitch]

5. Hey, We're peaceniks, meet up with us.

We're not looking for trouble, just a show of solidarity with other peaceniks. Hopefully things will not get out of control. Anybody got tips on what to do if problems arise? I would think a plan B in case of emergency ( an exit strategy!) would be a good idea. A lawyer who belongs to a Mac users group told my husband he would bail us out of jail if need be! Other than that I am too much of a novice to offer advice.

7. Are there any websites for ride sharing

like there were for Crawford? I'd like to go but I don't have a car.

[redwitch]

8. Don't know

If you are near a big city there are probably lots of church groups that have space on buses, Also, local chapters of veterans for peace. Where are you coming from?

[fiveleafclover]

14. Good idea

I'll ask around. I'm coming from East Tennessee, so I might have to look real hard. Hopefully one of my friends will decide to make the trip.

[BrutalEntropy]

12. check out

http://www.unitedforpeace.org/userdata_display.php?modin=10

It'll let you search by state!

Where are you coming from?

[fiveleafclover]

13. Thanks for the link

There's still nobody listed around my area. :(
I'm in East Tennessee. Maybe someone will add a listing soon.

[BrutalEntropy]

21. some ideas for you...

I've been in the same spot man...

I think there's a way to post a ride request. You could always post that you need a ride. Another thing to try would be to post to the craigs list for your area, that might help... You could even look in there to see if there are other people looking. You could always carpool.

Another thing to try are geographic communities on Livejournal. Sounds silly I know, but I know people have found rides that way.

Good luck... if you end up getting there, I'll be the one holding a sign that says "I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords" on one side, and "IMPEACH BUSH" on the other.

19. Who's keeping count?

Who's keeping count of how many show up? I can't go, but will be there in spirit. I did go to the March for Women's Lives, April 2004, and we have over 1 million turnout. It was incredible. Of course it barely got reported by the media. But I was there and I know it was HUGE. I'll bet Sept. 24 will see a big turnout.

[Bernardo de La Paz]
