Counter-Inaugural 2005
Bush Isn't Going Away and Neither Are We!
We cannot wait another 4 years to stand against the war and rampant social injustice of another Bush Administration. A coalition of social, political, and religious activists have come together to protest the coronation of George W. Bush. We invite you and all your friends and family to join hundreds of thousands in the streets of Washington, DC.

On November 2nd and 3rd as the votes were being counted residents of Washington DC took to the streets to show opposition to an inherently corrupt system, no matter who won the presidential election. Now the inauguration looms on the horizon and in DC where 91% voters rejected Bush energy is high to organize visible resistance to another 4 years of Bush through linking the national and even global struggle against the Bush regime to our local struggle for democracy here in the District. Come out and help shape this resistance!

Join us for a week of action January 15-January 22, 2005. We're here to help plug you in to all the action.

Please find some way to get to a protest on 1/20, even if it's just standing on a busy street corner with a sign. We need as many people in the streets as we can get.

You can also participate in "Not One Damn Dime Day" and boycott all consumer spending for 24-hours on January 20th. http://www.notonedamndime.com/boycott/

Me personally, am *only* going to watch coverage on C-span, if I must.

Screw the corporate media coverage!

Granny D will turn 95 on January 20 and will be speaking for our stage as well. We've been miscommunicating messages back and forth for weeks, but now it sounds rather definite.
