Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.
They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.
The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.
The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

Did you ever notice how Tim Robbins sounds like Johnny Carson's, "Art Fern" when giving a speech?
Oh is this funny. "Make HipHop not War"
I don't have any info other than the email we got at work. I know we have been asked to "refraim from confrontation" from the military reservation.
I'd really like to have a sign at the 45th street overpass saying something like
Anti American media whores next 3/4 mile
or
French army ahead. Watch for falling rifles and white flags
This is a freak show.
Fonda's the star freak, who had sex with another woman to titillate her French husband and was stupid enough to say this on TV recently, proving she hasn't learned a dam thing in 40+ years.
Armymarinemom, can you post the nrscpledge on your state board? Maine is sadly falling behind and Collins needs a kick in the arse!
Remember, these are the True American Patriots.

This would be hilarious if these people weren't calling the shots now.
Got to run errands! Have a great afternoon!
Have they shown our fine D.C. Freepers yet?
Rubbish.
Ya know, these idiots NEVER ever ever ever ask the jihadis to give peace a chance.
God these are flaming effing idiots. What's worse is that I believe they KNOW they are lying when they say "Bush lied."
Geez, at least Vietnam had good music.
There is a sign that says "Just Poop."
What the hell does that mean?
:)
ROTFLMAO!

Father was a Tuskeegee Airman.
Islam means peace.
Something about an illegal election.
I did hear him say "We all got blood on our hands." But darn, I don't think he was talking about themselves or Saddam. Again, I think he was talking about the President of the United States. I'm so confused. /s
"Just Poop" ?
beats the crap out of me. ;-)
