. 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
Colleges and cities across the nation expected to take part
Inside Bay Area
LOL! Too true.
"We are asking for students to quit school and throw down with something that will matter."
Yeah, like lining the pockets of a fringe group and being part of a photo-op, or something equally high-minded.
I say, why stop at a day. Hell, take the rest of your life off and stay out of my office! Stay out of my class and stay out of my neighborhood! You probably weren't missed during this little exercise. I'm sure society can survive without you petty babies. Better yet, stage a protest march in Afghanistan or Iraq!
I think I heard that Molotov cocktails were served. Do they teach this crap in college?
"Harold Pinter, Jane Fonda, Kurt Vonnegut, Alice
Walker, Eve Ensler, Gore Vidal, Richard Serra, Cindy Sheehan, Howard Zinn, Michael Eric Dyson, Russell Banks and Cornel West"
What a shameful group of hatemongering fools, to align themselves with these violent, ignorant, socialist, creepy liars.
Their pathetic propaganda is proof that stupidity can be contagious.
OR AT LEAST THE MAJORITY OF US DID!
NOW THE REST OF THE WORLD THIINKS THEY KNOW MORE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE USA THAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO?
HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!
WHO THE H*** ARE THESE MORONS!
Imagine that. Commies urging their 'comrades' to not work.
I guess these are the same people who, during Clinton's impeachment, cried that the will of the people was being denied since he had been popularly elected. Democracy is a pillar of socialism, but only when it can be controlled by the elites.
Sorry about my rather strongly worded posts ( 67 & 68) but I am really tired of these idiots that somehow think THYE have the power to overturn the will of the AMERICAN people to elect thier own leaders.
You are right on the money! As far as I'm concerned, everyone who "walks out" should stay out.
Their idea of doing away with the presidential election at their personal whim is right in line with their view of the Constitution, forget amendments or due process, just change it when it suits them. The rule of men as opposed to rule of law is the essence of socialism.
It's a wonder to me that they can purposely do things that amount to attacks on significant numbers, even majorities, of Americans. However, it does show you what they think of us.
It certianly does!
Imagine if you would for just one second that the dead really are rising for some unknown reason and preying on the living. Having taken this one step you have entered a nightmarish world. . . When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
Face west, then start walking. When you arrive at the Pacific ocean, keep walking.
