Al Sharpton, long time activist -- Thousands of People: taking to the streets and circling the White House WHAT: 11 a.m. rally, 2 p.m. march to White House: 30 foot statue of Bush will be toppled. WHEN: Saturday Feb. 4: 11 a.m. rally, 2 p.m. march WHERE: 17th and Constitution, then march to the White House DETAILS: On Saturday, Feb. 4, tens of thousands will travel from across the country to the national seat of government with a single demand: Bush Step Down And Take Your Program with You. The crowd will rally beginning at 11am, then encircle the White House at 2 p.m. World Can't Wait is quickly attracting a surprising and broad range of well-known people in public life including U.S. Congressional Representatives JOHN CONYERS, CYNTHIA MCKINNEY, MAXINE WATERS, BOBBIE RUSH, and MAJOR OWENS, along with HARRY BELAFONTE, LEWIS LAPHAM, MARK RUFFALO, SEAN PENN, SUSAN SARANDON, GLORIA STEINEM, SERJ TANKIAN, CORNEL WEST, HAROLD PINTER, and PAUL HAGGIS. Two full-page ads have appeared in the New York Times and spots are running nationally on Air America radio. Debra Sweet, national coordinator of World Can't Wait-Drive Out the Bush Regime, states, "Torture, war, the rule of law and separation of church state eviscerated, an extreme rightwing Supreme Court nominee goes essentially unopposed... The hour is late. This whole regime is illegitimate and criminal, and politics as usual have failed to stop it. Bush will not be indicted, impeached, or driven from office without massive, determined, unrelenting protest with the concrete demand that BUSH STEP DOWN. This is what we set out to do." On the night of the State of the Union address, at exactly 9 p.m. as Bush stepped to the podium, there were World Can't Wait rallies to "drown-out Bush's lies" in over 60 U.S. cities, including Greensboro, N.C., where 7 protesters were arrested, and in Iraq where several U.S. soldiers shot rounds of artillery into the air at 9 p.m. EST to drown out Bush.

This is great stuff. Can only help the Republicans in November.
As muslims around the world are chanting death to everyone becuase of a bunch of cartoons, the libs are trying to destroy the the guy trying to protect us. What a bunch of stooges.
Weather forecast for the lefties: High of 55, rain likely
I'll bet the turnout will be hugh.

Rain isn't going to be good for those big dumb paper mache puppets you just know they are going to have.
It will be high. They don't have a life like Freepers do! These people live for this kind of stuff. And with Al Sharpton being there you can be sure they are busing people in.
They create an icon, only so that they can cast it down?
Ahh... the granola group, fruits, nuts, and flakes.
Absolutely HUGH!!
The usual suspects.
What about the last protest with all the pots and pans?
Did not hear a sound in my neighborhood........I guess people were busy listening to the President's State of the Union.....
The usual suspects. What a bunch of moonbats! They actually think this will work?
It's a waste of time to spend even 30 seconds counter-protesting these fools. Let them waste their time and energy in such a quixotic demonstration. This silliness just takes more time away from them developing any real opposition based on concrete ideas and proposals. They just show their vacuousness by demanding "Bush step down". More symbolism over substance.
Hell I wouldn't cross the street with this commies much less march to DC. What a bunch of pathetic losers but hey maybe Susan Sorandon can do what she does best which is play a washed up old whore, Rev Al can play the part of Al Jolson, Sean Penn can play one of the Brokeback Mountain boys and Harry Belafonte can sing his hit song Da yo and a merry and fun time will be had by all.
Not one redeeming quality shared between the lot of them.
