Protesters unveiled more specifics about their plans yesterday for a spirited day of demonstrations to counter President Bush's second inauguration next Thursday, as one group said it was considering a lawsuit to gain more access to the parade route.
Officials, addressing plans for widespread street closings and a fireworks show Wednesday, advised federal employees who work downtown to stay home or to telecommute the day before the inauguration.
Demonstrators said they would mount nearly a dozen rallies and marches in Washington along the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route and throughout downtown. The events, planned and sponsored separately, involve a mix of activists embracing causes that include opposition to the Iraq war, women's rights and the environment. A band of self-styled anarchists also plan to demonstrate.
"This is a people's uprising," said Shahid Buttar, 30, a Washington lawyer involved in the D.C. Cluster Spokescouncil, a coordinating body for about 50 local and out-of-town protest groups.
The size of the demonstrations remains unclear. Some organizers say the crowds will be bigger than those at Bush's 2001 inauguration, the occasion of the largest inaugural protest since Richard M. Nixon's second inauguration in 1973.

Wonder what kind of people he represents? Hmmmmmmmm any clues?
With the masses of Conservatives there perhaps the celebration would be even more sweet if the masses squashed those puny socialist panty waists under their feet? Once and for all. Byebye!
Where's the location of the John Kerry Nostalgic Medal Toss ?
Good, as far I'm concerned, the more idiot critics the President has, the more we can all be assured he is on the right track.
I have an overarching theory that basically states that 80% of all people are absolute morons who don't deserve the freedoms for which Bush and the United States are willing to fight. So it only makes sense that a number of people disagree with the President.
Haven't all the protestors learned that the President, and indeed the majority of the nation, doesn't care for their anarchist antics? They're better off staying home.
And dammit, we need NHL hockey back. Now there's something worth protesting!

These idiots can protest 'til they're blue in the face.
At the end of the day, George W. Bush will still be President of the United States. LOL!!!!
.......Because they had such a huge effect on the GOP convention........
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Out of the dozens of organizations affiliated with ANSWER, I will bet there will be less than two thousand of those communist scumbags in attendance
I worry about the inaug.
A Full Day Of Protest Planned for Inauguration
And a full day of festivities, fun, excitement for the rest of us.

Spontaneous, too. I can't imagine involvement in anything called a "Cluster Spokescouncil," either.
Is it just me, or is anyone else tired, real tired, of endless knee jerk "protests" to every flea fart, full moon or non event for all the perpetual, whining, dumb ass "victims". I'll be real, real glad when the 60's and it's real tired ethos are finally, finally over.
As far as I'm concerned, all the Dims are mindless nit wits and traitors.
These bums don't represent the people. The people spoke in November.
No, it's not just you. We are all sick of the SORE LOSERMEN!! They need to GET OVER IT!
You would not see conservatives doing this if sKerry had won. These leftys just continue to erode their base (what base?) and will continue to be sore losermen as long as they continue to act this way!
