Just left the protest, It was great ! The best thing was the

crowd pushing to get through the checkpoint at 4th and Penn - War Monger, W signs with blood, War Criminal signs, and people chanting "Bush lied, and people died" -- Among all this were all the prissy repugs, dressed in their finest minks, some pushed against concrete roadblockers with disgust on their faces.

I wish I didn't have to leave, there are many, many, wonderful people out there and their voices ARE being heard !

1. thanks for the update!

Any talk about the election being stolen?

10. Tune in to CSPAN2

They're covering the whole thing.

They're having people come up to the podium and address their individual issues. I haven't seen anyone specifically address election fraud yet, but the sentiment is certainly there.

3. Thanks for the report

Any guesses on how many protesters? I really wanted to see TYBOB, but don't have cable and didn't want to watch anything having to do with the coronation. Did you see any of it?

I'd love to hear more about your experience. Wish I could have been there and I appreciate you taking the time, energy, and money to do it.

4. Been watching it on C-span for the last couple hours.

I was astonished to find it, and am still amazed that they are still broadcasting it. One lone channel against all the 'celebrations' on the other channels.

Inspiring.

9. There were thousands when I had to leave (have to fly to CT

for a funeral or I would have given anything to be there when he drives by in the parade)

Being there revives your view -- number one -- they lied and people are still dying in Iraq and they have created this false pristine alternate universe where nothing distasteful is discussed.
