KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine --Even though President Bush wasn't town, hundreds of anti-war protesters came to the seaside town of his family's summer home Saturday for a rally and march.

Arriving by bus, bicycle and foot, protesters gathered at Consolidated School to begin a two-mile march to the Bush family compound at Walker's Point.

Demonstrators wore T-shirts and hats and carried signs and banners with slogans such as "Don't Pay for this War" and "Care for Vets." The Raging Grannies, a group of older women in colorful clothes and hats, entertained the crowd with anti-war songs and chants. There were also some calls for impeachment.

Campaign volunteers for presidential candidates including Barack Obama and Dennis Kucinich set up tables alongside peace groups on the school's sports field.

"Even though President Bush wasn't town"

Pat, I would like to buy a preposition....

I wonder if these protesters are as articulate as the writer of this story.

Sounds like a real carnival of brainwashed children. What a proud and patriotic contrast the Gathering of Eagles will provide!

“I hate protesters! All they do is make a lot of noise, accomplish nothing but leaving a lot of trash for others to clean up, and ruin other peoples weekends.”
