Ping to the Code Pink/Sheehan "joint" event above.
That's exactly what I was trying to think of. Rush mentioned this event earlier this week.
Yawn...George Bush is scheduled to give his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 31. Another day, another spin job from the administration about how their policies are making things so much better for ALL Americans and for Iraqis, especially the women. We will be told that the folks handling reconstruction (Iraq and the Gulf Coast) are "doin' a heckuva job". He'll warn us that we need to be very afraid of future attacks and how his war on terror is making us safer.
What we won't hear about is the ILLEGAL domestic wiretapping program, the rampant Republican corruption and the quagmire that is Iraq. Doubtful that Bush will mention the ever growing number of people who think he should be impeached. But we will!!!
CODEPINK is organizing a People's State of the Union press
event (see below) that will lift your spirits and move you to action. Join Members of Congress Lynn Woolsey, John Conyers and Maxine Waters, Gold Star Mother Cindy Sheehan, whistleblower Ann Wright, political and economic expert John Cavanagh, New Orleans activist Malik Rahim as they speak the truth about our nation's policies and what we the people need to do to make real change possible.
On this particular day Americans deserve to hear the truth, not just about
the REAL state of our nation, but also the hopeful message about how
together WE can implement alternative policies to build a more humane and
secure world.
