2. I wonder if they need $$$ for coffins? I'll donate $5.00 via Paypal
Sounds like a great idea to me. We need COFFIN DEMONSTRATIONS in all major cities!

8. This was done in the big anti-war march in NYC. A couple of my friends
helped carry the coffins. It was incredibly effective.

Power to them if they do this, and I hope they do not get either stopped, arrested, or worse, beaten on the way.

11. " black-clad anarchists will wave puppets and beat drums "
Hope someone gets good pics to post:


from your link above:
......"There are a lot of people who feel Bush has turned his back on them," said field director Sarah Kauffman, who said she is expecting busloads of participants from across the country.

In a separate event, black-clad anarchists will wave puppets and beat drums to protest capitalism and organized government, said Lila Kaye of Anarchist Resistance.

Bush's inauguration plans have also drawn protest from the District of Columbia government, which says its security costs for the event should not come out of its Homeland Security budget.

"We the people of Washington, D.C., rejected Bush by over 90 percent (in the last election)," said Washington resident Nancy Shia. "Maybe this is our punishment."
