Bush visiting Naples Florida - protest planned.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

This could be a rather large protest (for Naples Florida, anyways). They're publicizing this protest pretty widely (they were at the Dem Club last night). What makes this rather unique is that the majority of the protesters are people in their 60's, 70's and 80's (many have canes and walkers and perhaps a few wheelchairs) and this is a Republican stronghold.

A lot of people are talking about this in Naples...

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TO VISIT NAPLES
FRIDAY APRIL 23, 2004
JOIN US TO PROTEST HIS POLICIES

ASSEMBLE ALONG THE CORNER OF COLLIER BLVD. & TOWER ROAD, IN FRONT OF
ROOKERY BAY NATIONAL RESEARCH RESERVE (300 TOWER ROAD)
FROM 10:30 AM-1:00 PM
Karen & John Dwyer, Ph.D./Pax Christi Naples
239.594.5754, pcnaples.org

As violence escalates in Falluja and Najaf, join us in Naples to say
“Yes” to Peace and “No” to war and the occupation of Iraq. President George Bush will be inside talking about volunteer service and conservation at Rookery Bay National Research Reserve. We will be outside, calling for money for jobs, education and healthcare—not war and not occupation! Plan on traffic delays. Bring signs (or use ours). Please come. Please invite your friends. And please print and post this notice so that those not on our list or without access to a computer may join us. We will notify the police, sheriff and secret service.

688+ white crosses, each representing an American soldier who has died in Iraq, will be available for display.

Contact: Karen at Pax Christi Naples [phone] or pcnaples.org

Thanks for posting this. I just sent it on to a friend who lives in Fort Myers (just 20 miles north of Naples).

2. If you want to post this in the Florida forum, feel free.

That might get some more eyeballs from floridians.
