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.

If I had to guess, I'd bet President Bush will NOT accede to their demand.

All that's missing are Jihad Cindy, Ahmed Amedinejad, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

A protester sets fire to an American flag with corporate logos in place of stars. A few thousand demonstrators withstood the rain to attend the rally. (Ricky Carioti - Twp)

Now where is Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon?

Organizers had been expecting about five to ten thousand people to turn out, but bad weather is being blamed for a lower turnout.

HA!

Those are in "B List" names on their program. Hell, even RCP's Clark Kissinger who put this together is better known.

Actully, counter protesting at these events is quite effective. We drove ANSWER's numbers down a lot over time.

First, a lot of people who attend don't know who's organizing and when they do, don't come back.

Second, prior to FR DC countering them, nobody countered them on a regular basis. Prior to that, it was Mardi Gras time for the marchers. The reinforced each other's beliefs because the only heard each other's beliefs. Since they are people with low esteem and subject to group think, that anyone else has a different opinion drives them away. They don't want to be in a conflict, they prefered that sinle opinion cocoon.

If it were up to me, we would just shoot them all and let God sort it out.

I am so sick of these wasted pieces of human flesh, it makes me gag every time I think of the oxygen they are wasting.

will hildabeast appear since she believes Dubya's adminstration is the most corrupt ever,will kerry, edwards or any of the other fools make their presence; no because they know it's a lie and they have to fool everyone until 2008 because they must appear to be moderates to normal Americans
