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.

You forgot the /rimshot tag.
Don't you mean "only heard by BETWEEN four TO A dozen people?"
We need a few poster size signs of those protesting islamics with the words, "Who's watching out for you?"
Nah... there are quite a few FReepers and such who bravely subject themselves to AA to keep tabs on them, despite the risk of massively increasing their ratings.
The National Zoo is free. The average IQ per occupant is also higher than that of this ragtag menagerie.
Do they not know, Bush is in Texas?
And .. these are members of the "democratic" party who profess to be the guardians of DEMOCRACY.
However, their actions say they do not have any regard for democracy - and instead believe in "insurrection" and "facisism". Keep it up democrats - your demise will be speeded over the cliff.
did you see that the Queers for Economic Freedoms is behind this travishamockery?
Do these pathetic excuses for americans have nothing better to do? If they hate this country so damn much then I'm sure Pres. Bush, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and the rest of the United States would be willing to pay their one-way airfare to beautiful and sunny Iraq!
Oh, she's Electra - boogie-woogie-woogie...
There were a few raised eyebrows, though.
IMO, this kind of thing should be treated the same as someone threatening to do actual physical harm to the president. As in, the men in black need to pay some visits.
Oh, won't the media be orgasmic if they perform this stunt.
She sure likes to boogie!
Gosh, I've seen ... none of those...
They're 'gonna stink REAL good if it rains.
"WHY AM I SO STUPID? WHY AM I SO UGLY?"
dead; you're a magnet for the moribund.
Oops, you're right. My mistake. :-)
They want Cheney for president?
Well actually they are hoping the whole administration would go down in flames. They figure the domino effect will happen. Pipe Dreams! Or rather Crack Pipe dreams.
