Photos: Protesters in front of the White House..."Camp Katrina?"

Hurricane Katrina survivors (L-R) Iona Renfroe, her niece Michelle Agillard and Christine Mayfield, all from Louisiana, gather to speak to the press against U.S. President Bush's handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, outside the White House in Washington, September 8, 2005. The hunt for the helpless and the hiding went on across New Orleans on Thursday as Bush promised to streamline the government bureaucracy to speed relief to hundreds of thousands displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

MoveOn members and supporters march in front of the White House in Washington, DC, in protest of the administration of US President George W. Bush and its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief. MoveOn Washington Director Tom Matizzie said the federal government did not do enough to help the people of the Gulf Coast region after Katrina caused widespread damage and killed possibly 10,000 people. The organization called on the president to 'stop blaming the victims of Hurricane Katrina, including state and local officials, for the poor rescue and relief effort and focus on helping them.'(AFP/Getty Images/Chip Somodevilla)

9/11 March to Bushville (Camp Katrina)

On 9/11 survivors of Katrina will commit an act of Nonviolent Civil Disobedience by setting up an illegal camp on the Washington, DC Mall. Bushville, DC will stay there as long as it takes to get answers and change.

Visit www.bushville.org or www.campkatrina.org and spread the word.

We will camp on Bush's doorstep and make him face us every day until he is driven from power.

Join the March to Bushville, DC. If you can't make it on 9/11 visit us on 9/24.

2. I say this with great reluctance and caution, but
maybe the tide is indeed turning.

Maybe.

4. What a lovely sight.
This is what it takes, GO FOR IT! If I could be there I would.

A few conversations around the net with Republican aquaintences show me that more than a few are totally awake and not very happy. It should not have taken this but it will be interesting to see how this turns out. They are angry about the lies. I always thought that all it would take is the people finally getting lied to with one big whopper that they could actually see, feel and taste. Well, they have it now and now they are looking back and are not happy with what they are learning.

6. I think McCain blew his '08 shot by posing with Bush in that picture
and by linking himself so closely to this criminal administration in the last couple of years.

18. I remember TV news back when they would show something like this.
I can't imagine seeing the corporate media showing it nowadays.

25. I was trying to think what the right message is for the 24th
I think I'll go with SHAME.

That pretty much sums it up.

Please come. We need all of america there. Please come. We need you there.

Resist Fascism.

The crisis is now.
