[jdots]

My friend overheard on of them saying " Shit 4 more years of this " Good protest won't get any press but who cares It helps to erode the neocon turd maggots erosion of democracy.There was a good spirit tonight and alot of new faces.Now if we can just get some of our so called democratic politicians to show up once in a while,they are democrats aren't they ?

1. Democratic politicians.

It's getting harder to tell them from the Republicans.

There will be many, many more protests before Bush is out. Soon, most of America will be as pissed off as a typical DUer. :-)

Let them screw with SS, Let them start another war, let them start a draft.

But it will happen even without any of these horrors.

The economy is in the toilet, and we will start to feel it badly in the next year or so.

Morgan Stanley has predicted economic armeggedon.

2. Economic armeggedon...

is nothing compared to nuclear armegoddon. I hate this talk about messing with crazy guys with nukes that can reach California or our troops.

5. Was there ANY media coverage??

I was at the protest at the Federal Building too and saw a lot of reporters but missed ANY coverage of the demonstration. Was there ANYTHING in the L.A. Times??? Unless I missed something, I suggest we write the Times and complain.

6. The media show up,do interviews roll film & tape

then bring it back to have it put away.We want media coverage good or bad,we gotta do numbers because if a million of us show up they call it 1/10-1/100th of the real numbers.Thier saying in corporate hell is " money talks & shit walks "
Some bimbo flashes a titty at a football game and thats news,a couple of hundred thousand people die and get maimed in a war, that's not news it goes on all the time.

8. Coverage

Agreed, there were so many people that seemed to be reporters taking pictures there. I got home and on the 11 o'clock news they only gave about 2-3 minutes of coverage for the event, and didn't really show well just how many people there were. But I REALLY could not believe it when I checked the papers the next day and there was no mention of the LA protest, nor a SINGLE picture, I could not believe it, not in the Daily News, not in other newspapers, and not in the LA Times - which is something that is unbelievable with a name for a newspaper like that.

I wrote LA Times immediately and expressed my complete disappointment.

7. Lately there are protests everywhere I go. People are fed up.

Not just anti-war rallies and anti-Bush demonstrations, either, though those are becoming bigger and more frequent.

Teachers were protesting at the school board meeting last week.

Tonight, I was at a reception for the UC Chancellor, and students were holdling a candlelight vigil/demonstration outside on behalf of low-paid service workers.

The wage serfs are on the verge of revolt!
