Solidarity protest Wednesday 4:30 p.m. Lake Street Bridge
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 01:41 PM by katinmn
Join WAMM and Veterans for Peace at their regularly scheduled Peace vigils at the Lake Street bridge this Wednesday to show support for Cindy Sheehan. Looks like * is going to have her arrested on Thursday.

It's probably no coincidence that members of the elite Ownership Society are arriving Friday for a fundraiser at the ranch.

Cindy Sheehan to Be Arrested Thursday
by David Swanson
Mon Aug 8th, 2005 at 10:55:39 PDT

Cindy Sheehan phoned me from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested.

1. I hope the MSM covers
a grieving mother being hauled away in cuffs as a "threat to national security". I just can't believe even Bush would do this.

2. And to think all he has to do is come out and face the music....
like a leader. Like a man.

He's a miserable failure at both.
