Where: Nollen Plaza (3rd Ave & Locust St), Des Moines



Please join the Coalition for Iowa's Priorities on Tuesday, April 11th, for a rally to protest the

policies of the Bush/Nussle Federal Budget which cuts vital services and programs to give

massive tax cuts to the wealthy. On April 11th, President Bush will join Congressman Nussle

at a fundraiser in Des Moines and you are invited to send a clear message that their priorities

are NOT Iowa's priorities. Following speeches, rally participants will march to the free speech

zone to demonstrate during the fundraiser attended by President Bush.



(Nollen Plaza is located at 3rd Avenue and Locust Street in Downtown Des Moines across

3rd Street from the Des Moines Civic Center. Convenient parking is located in the municipal
