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.

Hillary is having the presentation of the colors and The Star Spangled Banner.
LOL! Mike picks up Hillary's ABYSMAL singing voice! HAHAHAHA!
Did you catch that upside down Hillary sign!
She has her hand on her chest where most people have hearts.
I can't watch I'll get a headache:)
Holy crap. I can hear Hillary singing.
Not good.
Plus, she almost forgot and as an afterthought, she slapped her hand over her heart and damn near knocked herself backwards.
Touch of pink w/typical black suit...probably thinks pop beads are tres fashionable.
Ugh.
Pretty unhappy looking bunch.
I couldn't figure out why she was grabbing her boob.
Now lets see if there are any real questions or all softballs. Wonder if questions were pre screened?
No. I'd spray the grass and bushes with the attractant, and hope the big bucks come off the camp and chase the demonstrators.
Wow Joshua there ,God bless him.
Joshua Sparling is not easy to forget, is he. And he went out today!!!!!!!!!!!
Just 'thousands' on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16841070/ no mention of FReepers.
No stentorian voice today, "you know". Her annoucement, "I'running for president and I'm in it to win" is her version of Kerry's "Reporting for duty."
"Let the Conversation Begin!!"
Pretty much means you agree with everything Hillary says, and don't ask her any real questions.
I guess it's too much to hope that the questions aren't pre-screened.
POP BEADS???
Hill, hill, hill, fashionista, you are not.
Hillary says she's in it to win it.
I'm In, Pull Out, I'm In, Pull Out.
Democrats make up your mind. Or are you just screwing with minds. Oh, that was a silly question.
The one good thing about Hippies protesting is that nobody is missing work.
