Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.
They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.
The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.
The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

I hope they like her 'friends' who would like nothing more than to slit her throats along with all other americans here in our own streets..
Jane Fonda
We've made the same mistake. Blindness to the realities on the ground, carelessness and thoughtlessness. Billions squandered (with reference to Post Katrina).
Fonda saying she was asked what the difference is between now and Vietnam.
She said the BIG difference was that it took them 6 years to protest Vietnam..and only 3 years for this war.
NO, Jane, you ignorant slut...the difference is, there is an all volunteer military...and the enemy struck us HERE in New York and Washington, and Pennsylvania.
AND, the enemy is still threatening us HERE!
Unappreciative?
Isn't she speaking about herself?
How many people estimated to be from both sides next weekend? Where's the info on this march? Thanks.
They have no clue.
Susan Sarandon
Imagine you are in danger from IEDs (and a laundry list of military scenarios).
BITE ME SUSAN. We don't imagine. We live it.
Go Snoop!

No bra.
LOL.. Susan is a bit confused.. to say the least
70 % divorce rate with homecoming vets?
she got the mentally troubled part right. all those cheering for this monstrosity are included.
You know, I can really do without friends like these. I really wish they didn't care so much for me.
BS.
Oh now here's Tim Robbins to trash Bush and Rove and bring up impeachment.
Susan is saying our troops that have come home are wacko...just like they keep saying about the Vietnam Vets.
My husband is a Viet Vet..and he managed to get on with his life....and I know many more like him.
