[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Check this out!!

Just emailed to me from a friend who did some freeway blogging for the bus riders!

[Mabus]

11. Too cool

What a way for them to start the trip.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Denise did that!!

She so rocks!!

[Mabus]

19. Denise is a wonderful woman

I've liked her from the start. She's just as beautiful on the outside too.

I will admit, when I first saw it I thought it was chat_noir's handiwork. There are so many good activists in the KC area. I'm lucky to know some of you.

5. A question about one of the pics...

Is that a 'g-string' on george :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Why yes it is

and it says "WMD" on it. (In teeny little letters).

George also has a yellow string coming from between his legs - cause he is the leaker. :)

[cynatnite]

10. I just spewed all over my monitor...

:rofl: I'm dying here. :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. David's signs are always hilarious

[Mabus]

21. David is one of my favorite protesters

He always shows up and his signs are always creative.

And yes, the yellow string 'cuz Bush is a leaker, is a great touch.

[Hekate]

24. I noticed he wasn't given a big codpiece, but just an eeny g-string

And the g-string appears to be ample. :spray:

Have a GREAT time in Washington! The cameraderie at those marches is wonderful.

[Blue_In_AK]

29. Proud2BLib, I am so excited to be meeting you.

These pictures are great.

I'm almost all packed and ready to hop on a plane in about 7 hours. See you soon. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Shit, I have to teach tomorrow

LOL

Thank goodness I have a terrific principal who is really excited about what I am doing. She asked me today why I didn't just leave and get on a plane today so I could start kicking butt 2 days early. Then she asked if she should have a sub on call just in case I end up in jail in DC.

And guess what? She is a republican!! LOL

[Blue_In_AK]

34. Funny you mention jail...

That's exactly why I decided to stay over until Tuesday just in case there's any excitement. I almost got myself arrested last time, but had to duck out of the roped-in area in front of the White House at the last minute to catch a plane. :( I'm ready for anything this time.

[Straight Shooter]

30. I am greeeeeen with envy.

:thumbsup:

[bdamomma]

32. Be careful you guys, and please yell for me!! I'll be there in

Spirit, and if they show the demonstration on C Span I will raise my sign up for you guys.

[texanwitch]

33. They will have such a good time on the bus.

I did a bus trip to DC for the 2002 protest, gladly do it again.

Damn I so want to go.

[tool_of_the_people]

35. Looking forward to seeing you ...

... in Washington, Kansas City.
We're heading up on Saturday AM. Early!

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Alright!

We will be representing KC proudly!!

[notadmblnd]

38. great pictures. I don't know why but the Kansas city Women one

struck me as halarious (maybe because Kansas is in the middle of the bible belt). The other one of bush being hanged in a g-string might initiate a visit from the SS. I hope things go well for you all this weekend.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. Agent Mike already watches us

We can see him across the street from where we protest.

[Philosoraptor]

39. BLESS YOU BLESS YOU BLESS YOU

love that cardboard cutout!

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. Update:

They just called from Indiana where they stopped for breakfast. A church is feeding them. They have had a great trip so far.

George comes to all our protests. David dresses him up. He has a Superman cape for him. And he has a Cheney too. David makes the best signs!

:woohoo:

[Jeanette in FL]

40. Oh what great pictures

I just can't wait to get to DC. I feel like a little kid at Christmas.

I am so glad that so many DU'ers are going. I can't wait to meet you, guys.

Safe trip and see you saturday morning.

[malaise]

43. Fabulous pix

Take the streets

[aikoaiko]

45. I'm surprised the SS doesn't come after him for the hanging george.

Seems like they do for less.


good luck.

[proud2BlibKansan]

46. Yes these days the concept of free speech seems like

a distant memory.

[Lochloosa]

47. Be Safe!

And give them HELL.

[bdamomma]

48. great pictures, you guys stay safe and yell for me please?

1 2 3 4 we don't want your stinking war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I was there, but being only partially employed and no longer living in DC, it just wasn't gonna happen this time.
