. SAN FRANCISCO — Federico Garcia wants Nov. 2 to be the beginning of the end for the Bush Administration. Garcia, 28, is a local student organizer for the group "The World Can't Wait - Drive Out The Bush Regime," which will stage a national walkout on Nov. 2, the anniversary of Bush's reelection. The organizers said they want the event to be a public statement that some Americans are fed up with President Bush and that he should step down as commander-in-chief. The organizers are asking people of all ages to call in sick to work or skip a day of school to take part in what they said is not just another protest. "We do not want three more years of this," said Garcia, who is organizing Bay Area college students from such schools as the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco State University. "This will give birth to a new movement. We speak for the sentimental millions," Garcia said. "We are asking for students to quit school and throw down with something that will matter." Garcia said after Bush was reelected many people who opposed the president felt demoralized and then demobilized. But Sunsara Taylor, a co-founder of the group, said she would not just sit still and passively disapprove as the president moves the United States toward what she called a "fascist society." Taylor said Bush was an illegitimate president and a dangerous man. "It is not just a symbolic act. We mean it," Taylor said of the walkout. "I think it's highly realistic to see him step down. I think it's less realistic to be able to negotiate with them." Taylor said around 67 cities and 40 college campuses would take part in the walkout. Locally, UC Berkeley and San Francisco State will be meeting grounds for those who want to take part in the event. After a short meeting starting at 10 a.m. at each campus, demonstrators will move to the main noon-time rally at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco.Organizers of mass walkout hope to spur movement against Bush

Is this going to be the Dem publicity stunt of the day?
"November 2 must be a massive and public proclamation that WE REFUSE TO BE RULED IN THIS WAY."
You had your chance. Election day was last year you idiots. If you stoners weren't so out of it, maybe you could have thought to organize this last election day. Idiots.
Ohhhh - Woe unto the conservative movement! Woe unto the GOP and Bush! How can we hope to stand against uch a stellar set of luminaries as that! Guess I better start packing my bags now for my transfer to the liberal re-education camp...
Based on the volume of traffic this morning, the folks around here are pretty much ignoring this protest...
yadda, yadda, yadda
Just went down to Lafayette Park.
There were about 50 people, which is pretty pathetic considering it's a BEAUTIFUL day in DC. Put it this way, therer was a group of Japanese business men that easily outnumbered the rally.
The speakers were not very inspiring (I was only there for an hour, but what a BORING hour). It was essentially a fundraiser, with multiple calls to fill out index cards to include with your donation. In the hour I was there, I did not see a single donation made, but there were a few people walking around with containers.
My favorite quote: "Washington DC has more homeless than the United States because of Bush". Delivered oh so eloquently by a Howard University student, who also believes the Howard campus police is controlled by the Bush administration and the FBI. Sadly, he did not expound on his particular encounter. At least that would have been interesting.
Like I posted on another thread, I was walking across Harvard campus today and there was a SMALL rally. There had been "Walk-out" posters all over campus for weeks leading up to this, and the only thing these pathetic losers could come up with was about 100 people -- right in the heart of Commiebridge, Marxachusetts, no less.
Making idiot leftists even dumber? I don't know if this hurts or helps...
Hey,isn't that Florence and Normandy?
Atlas Sighed.
No, his money is stuck in other countries.. maybe he can't bring more in without answering some uncomfortable questions with the IRS.
Thousands rally across US against Bush policies (Moronic Losers)

First, the war is not as unpopular - by a substantial margin. The number of casualties is an order of magnitude lower, and there is no draft.
Second, the MSM does not control the terms of the debate.
Third, the President has some idea about what he is doing.
Fourth, the political opposition lacks a program (except this garbage posted above).
11/3 Looks like it was a fart in a windstorm
