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.
~~snip~~
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.

We've reversed so many good things lately, huh?
I guess she missed the economic boom, the housing boom, etc.
LOL! You heard it too!!
Oh come on now, Hillary can't fog the minds of her supporters with FACTS.
"That's the way I was raised." Then why didn't her brothers living in the same family/house get the same raising?
No one ever seems to consider that one of Osama Bin Ladin's goals was to ruin the USA economy....and yet, he not only did NOT do that....but we have THRIVED, under Pres. Bush.
They are lost souls, fatima, disjointed and without purpose. They can only be 'against' something, not FOR anything.
FReepmail to you, Sleuth.
Wages are not up? Where the hell does she live?
More bankruptcy? Does she not remember voting to change the laws so more people hurried to file before the laws changed?
ideology that disregards the building blocks for families.
corporate profits are increasing
productivity is up
no body works harder than american workers
yet, what's wrong with this pic
wages aren't up
education/energy costs are up
more bankruptcies than college grads
She really couldn't if she wanted to. They are sheeple.
Estimates of several thousand! Way short of the 100K promised...

What kind of woman thinks Hillary represents her???
OMG, I just cannot take this for another two years; I need a hobby.
She thinks families should prepare their children for school? Wow, where have I heard THAT before?
Is this crowd the pro-Edwards left-overs?

Hillary's on.
I can't get over seeing a Bishop there and he knowing NOW would be there.This is right after the March for Life.
The diehards and paid-wells showed up.. beyond that, not many "ordinary" folks, at least not what I see in my neck of the woods.
God bless Joshua; he's been through so much for us.
If the press says DC Chapter had 40, then they probably had more, maybe 75-100.
We'll find out. Maybe it's better we didn't get coverage, so viewers would not think our group was part of theirs...
But, in case the FReepers had some good signs, that would be good exposure of Freak Fonda.
A REAL Bishop, fatima... a Catholic Bishop? Sure it wasn't an Episcopalian?
She's even more pedestrian that I thought. Her alleged brilliance is a myth.
