News Advisory:

Tomorrow Feb. 4: Massive March to the White House; A New Movement With a Single Demand: Bush Step Down

WHO:

-- Kathleen Chalfant, Broadway and TV actress

-- Ann Wright, former U.S. diplomat and military officer quit in protest of war

-- Martin Garbus, trial lawyer and author

-- Doris "Granny D" Haddock, walked across the country for campaign finance reform

-- Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights

-- Boots Riley, The Coup (Hip-Hop artist)

-- Rev. 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.

NEW YORK (AP) It wasn't just the Republicans having the parties this past weekend. The counter-conventioners did, too.

The Imagine Festival of Arts, Issues and Ideas held a raucous party Saturday night at the club Crobar, where a giant screen beamed photos from the Iraq war including coffins carrying dead U.S. soldiers as guests danced around a man on stilts dressed as Uncle Sam. Actor Kathleen Chalfant addressed the mix of celebration and anxiety that reflects New York City's mood this week.

"I think the sense of festivity is very thin. All of us believe we're living at a time of great danger, great pain and the possibility of great disaster," said Chalfant, who is scheduled to appear Monday with Marisa Tomei in a Lincoln Center reading of Sophocles' Greek tragedy "Electra," followed by a discussion on violence, retribution and compassion.

Do you think they will try to levitate the White House? It sure worked with the Pentagon in '68.

fruits, nuts, and flakes

Let us be more precise here.

Conyers is definitely a nut. He is a scary nut, though. Every time I see him on TV I get the feeling he would send all white males to the gas chamber if he got the chance.

Cornel West--flake. He definitely has access to some very nasty mind-altering drugs.

Belafonte--I presume he is there to sing the Communist Internationale since most people have forgotten the words these days...:-)

Al Sharpton--he is there for comic relief.

"...great danger, great pain and...great disaster" have already occurred. I thought this woman lived in NYC? Or is she another one of these people who believes 9/11 was a made-for-TV movie?

I can tell you that Ms Chalfant was born in San Francisco in 1945.

She and her fellow strange people really and truly think that President Bush lied about WMD being in Iraq. Why on earth would he do that as a premise for invasion - knowing full well that once major combat was over, it would be reported that WMDs weren't there?

Well, I guess these folks are just a bunch of communists out for a walk in the rain tomorrow.

I wish they had saved this for 2008. If they turn off another 10% of the democrat vote in California we can deliver CA to a Republican President.

California 2004

Bush 43% Kerry 53%

They're backed by commies. They want to overthrow the government and institute one of their own. They're way past even the DUmmies who don't understand the order of succession.

Ahh... the granola group, fruits, nuts, and flakes.

It's moonbat season.

I wonder if Cornel West will grace them with some of his "rap album"?

Where's Ramsey Clark and Cindy?

She had a role in "The Book of Daniel." What a surprise.

My God, how I loathe whiners and complainers. These knuckleheads actually believe that marching around in circles, in the rain, is going to change anything?
