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.

Gack. Can you imagine what fifteen or so wet hippies would smell like?
"Massive" is an understatement.
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.
I have to laugh at this. Don'they realize if Bush did step down, (which he is not going to do) Dick Cheney become president. They don't lke him any better.
Me either--I've gone to the ends of the earth to see one of Kathleen Chalfont's performances , movies , magazine articles,seek out her memorabilia..
By the way , who the hell is Kathleen Chalfont?
Ok... so running nationally, but only heard by about four dozen people...
Possible DUFU material here, if you want to take one of your occassional meanderings away from the main ant farm.
No doubt C-SPAN will cover this. I think Ann Wright was the former official who was part of a panel attacking Bush that was on C-SPAN a few days ago. They used to be pretty balanced, but of late they seem to tilt to the left--I often find two moonbat-left events being shown at the same time (I only get C-SPAN1 and C-SPAN2).
Slightly cleaner than fifteen or so dry hippies?
Maybe Dick Cheney is behind this, and they don't realize they are being used.
They advocate the "removal" of VP Cheney too. If you can stomach their website, they stop just short of advocating violence, though they make it clear that is what they hope for.
The SDS? So I have been right all along: these are the same people who tried to bring down this country in the 60's and are now back to finish her off?
Are any Freepers going to be there to counter protest the "Pots and Pans Brigade?"
I am going to follow the Limbaugh doctrine. 'When dims and libs want to go out and make fools of themselves, just step aside and let them.'
Well, if Boots is gonna be walking, then I'm convinced!
Good news! It's going to RAIN all day long tomorrow in DC. Hah!
What are these people so upset about? The US is bringing freedom to people who've never known it, and we are killing terrorists who want to kill us.
Al Sharpton is going to be there? He's a joke - a fat, self-centered joke masquerading as a preacher.
Well, as Ann Coulter once wrote: "Want to make a liberal angry? Defend America." Amen.
I think she played the character 'Woman number 2' on an episode of 'Will and Grace'.
Who is this woman? Never heard of her. Really.
Massive, huh?
I bet.
Yup - they absolutely loathe Cheney even more than Bush.
I have no clue; I don't think we even know anybody who knows her!
So they want Hastert as President? Or Stevens? Ooo they want Secty. Rice?
