WASHINGTON - (KRT) - As the anti-war movement arrives in Washington this weekend, many top Democrats are leaving. Nationally known Democratic war critics, including Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and John Kerry of Massachusetts, won't attend what sponsors say will be a big anti-war rally Saturday in Washington. The only Democratic officeholders who plan to address the rally are Reps. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and John Conyers of Michigan. Today's leading Democrats head a party divided over the war, and many leaders are wary...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Anti-war groups are using a $1 million ad campaign and a demonstration they say will attract 100,000 people to try to re-energize their movement and pressure the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq. Organizers of Saturday's protest, which will take marchers past the White House, say it will be the largest since the war began more than two years ago. Cindy Sheehan, the woman who drew thousands of protesters to her 26-day vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch last month, is among those planning to participate. "We want to show Congress, the president and the...

The group plans to return to Maine early Sunday morning. Merry Segal, a Bowdoin College student who helped found Bowdoin Students for Peace, is helping organize the trip.

Late last night I was pinged that Move America Forward will be in Denver on Wednesday at noon. After a lot of scrambling, arrangements were made so that I could go and the President of the Longmont Republican Roundtable agreed to come with me.

We were blessed with nice weather, and I was hoping for a great turnout. I met FReeper ajolympian2004 and he unveiled an awesome poster he...

A highlight of Saturday, the...
