Lets hope our guy in the WH can atleast fix the problem. Afghanistan is not the good war and should be ended now for the sake of the people of Afghanistan and the poor people in this country.
END THE WARS NOW!!!!

They're calling it "Occupy K Street"
The Freedom Plaza protest came out of Tavis Smiley and Cornell West's tour earlier this year; not specifically related but certainly allied.
I was there today; the largest faction seems to be Code Pink.

6. Thanks, Rec. Interesting. |

Nice weather today, eh? :hi:
Just remembered: Saw AlJazeera interview early afternoon at Freedom Plaza; definitely OWS-related, unemployed mother seeking work, complaining about repug congress, banks etc.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2068184Al Jazeera may have confused October 2011 (the Freedom Plaza Code Pink thing) with OWS, but there's no coordination there; OWS is up on 16th and K.
