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.

I'm predicting screened crowds/questions for two years.
She's lying about Bush cutting back on military healthcare.
I hate how she says "comin'" instead of "coming."
Tie her hands and she won't be able to speak.
Yes, I agree. And the media will simply show these staged events and act like she is being "open" with the people and the press.
Thanks ;o)
Red hat alert!!!
Same here, freema. My last day as an Episcopalian was Pentecost Sunday, 2003. I was a lector. I went early to read through my scripture and was breathlessly told, "We're not having any scripture readings today."
Someone (a female priest) had decided at the last minute to make some freestyle changes to the mass.
I knew before then I would leave; that just made it inevitable. I learned 7 months before that the Rector was anti-Israel, the presiding Bishop was anti-Bush and anti-WOT, and then there was the gay/lesbian thing.
Been here, done this.
BTW, I think she has worked on her laugh, too.
Lots of lesbian looking women in that audience.
Oh dear God...........too much information!
OMG!! That woman just told the nation she was going through menopause!!! I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THIS!!!
I don't think I would be able to watch this, if I wasn't on FR at the same time.
GMTA!!!
Rats, we may have to all have valium IVs for the next two years.
Now she is pandering to the teachers' union.
Bawdy days are here again.
We're getting ready to go back into that long national therapy session we had with the Clintons.
haha, for sure
I am pretty tough, but I don't think I can take two years of this, let alone four years of her in the White House.
Shades of Algore: Her repetition of 'gonna FIGHT'for.....
Hold on, wasn't No Child Left Behind Ted Kennedy's idea?
She is simply lying about No Child Left Behind and a lot of other stuff.
