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.

I can see they don't understand rule by law....or constitutional succession.
Be curious to see how many actually show up.
Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
****
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
*****
Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
*****
People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
*******
There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.
********
There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn — or be forced — to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.
And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.
Wasn't it a DUmmie the other day who posted that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? That is the bandwidth of their brains.
Succession:
VP
Speaker of the House
President pro tempore of the Senate
Secretary of State
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of Defense
Attorney General
And so on.
Don't know if there's anybody there they would actually like.
Dreaming of a new Bolshevik revolution, I see...
This is the equivalent of a bunch of two-year olds getting together to stamp their feet and throw a temper tantrum because they aren't getting their way.
Hey moonbat****forbrains, that's what ELECTIONS are for. You have to win them, though.
I use my pots and pans to cook the "liberal" goose!
Suprising ? I would have been suprised if Sarandon, Waters, Belafonte and the like FAILED to show up.
I wonder if this means that the "crowd" across the street will be a littler thinner than usual tomorrow?
I think that was Bluto Blutarski that made that statement.
Oh, Lord... Please, please, please let this get lots of coverage! The world needs to see what frikkin' idiots these folks are.
"And she held it up to Vince Foster's head like this."
Regis was probably thinking, "please don't let that thing be loaded!"
Is that a picture of her playing a witch, opposite William Shattner's McBeth?

"Are any Freepers going to be there to counter protest the "Pots and Pans Brigade?"
Well it's a given that
the The "Politically Correct RINO's"
on FR WON'T be there.
The "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR are the same group
who "swore"
klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".
Now they even say that cut and run murtha is above
the law, just like hanoi kerry
ODD How come the "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR
attack REAL FReepers who speak out (especially vets)
get REAL FReepers banned and/or suspended,
while they condone the traitors
who have always attacked President Bush?
Beware of the "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR new,
so called GOP Party line,
about the GOP putting on a kinder face.
To who? The lunatic left????
What an insult to the GOP!
It's these "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR
who think they know more than Karl Rove
Karl Rove knew, Nov. 7, 2004 , that hanoi kerry would try to run in '08
and knew Swift Boat Vet's would be called upon,
again, to serve our country.
Rove Credits Swiftvets With 'Energizing' Bush Vote (Thank You Karl Rove!)

Michael Ratner is Ellen Ratner's brother.
No.
"Michael Ratner is Ellen Ratner's brother."
Haven't heard of her either.
The tone was set when "W" took the oath and started talking about a new tone...etc. I wanted them brought up on charges for all of it. The new tone and the still orgasmic love of the Clintons by the MSM pretty much stamped out that fire.
