An "anti-bush" rally is going on in front of my office building right now.
Building owners alerted everyone yesterday that the rally would take place. They called it "anti-bush". There is about 20 people, a huge IMPEACH banner, and news media milling around.

I'm in Greensboro, NC.:woohoo:

5. Names, addresses and SS numbers would also be handy
If you could collect their cell phones from them that would also prove handy.

13. I just stepped outside - Description:
There is a pick up truck with flags and boots on top. I flag draped coffin in the back. Truck has "my son KIA in Iraq" on the side. A young man is playing his guitar and an older gentleman joined in with a piccolo (looks like one anyway).

Lots of signs. Impeach the Boy King, death toll numbers, IMPEACH!, Peace, etc.

About six policemen are gathered across the street just watching.

It is nice - I felt a sense of pride standing there.

4. That's cool.
There was a fire outside my building earlier, but i gather they put it out. Not close enough to see, just close enough to smell.

9. Very Good! North Carolina's got some good folk. . .
I hope they get some positive response from passers-by. Everyone needs a "thumbs-up" every once in a while!

18. I feel "change" is in the air in NC
"About 45 people gathered outside the downtown federal building Tuesday to support an overnight debate led by U.S. Senate Democrats attempting to rally enough votes to advance legislation calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq."
