Jan 31, 2006 - SOTU Address: IMPEACH NOW March on Washington
According to:

http://www.worldcantwait.net/

the State of the Union Address is scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, 2006 instead of Friday, January 20, 2006 as earlier posted. That organization is planning a Washington, D.C. rally on Saturday, February 4, and hopes people will also protest locally and in State Capitols on January 31, 2006.

Should we join their group Feb 4, or organize our own for Jan 31?

9. Ah!!! You found it!!!!
That looks like the end of the golf club I broke at a driving range 6 years ago. It belonged to the instructor. It traveled down the range farther than the golf ball.

(I haven't attempted to play since, I was so mortified).

13. Now think if the govt gets their pet MS to disable ping recognition
in Windows, but only for certain IP addresses. Wouldn't that just be grand. Thank gawd for Unix.... owned by no government, free to all.

2. Regardless - Let's not divide the numbers marching
Let's have a firm date for everyone. I am in and I am scared to be honest.

4. The bigger the rally...
the better.

I want to join in but will also be relocating to the mid west around that time. If things fall into place, I will be one of many carrying around the "impeach bush" signs!

30. mosh lyrics
"Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home come on just . . .

Come along, follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark, that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength,
Come with me, and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
Till the light, at the end, of the tunnel, we gonna fight,
We gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march through the swamp
We gonna mosh through the marsh, take us right through the doors, come on

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered"

19. I guess people have been reading my "Impeach Now" threads...
and posting stuff on other sites about a march on Washington.

Shall we organize it ourselves, or with the help of MoveOn.org? Or should we allow another organization to co-opt the idea and do it themselves?

22. I emailed Moveon.org
thinking that more than one group was involved....

I think we should get as many groups involved as we can.

The problem is the dates. One site has it prior to Jan. 31, another has it on Feb. 4.

I think you have the right idea. A protest at the State of the Union makes the most sense. It is amazing that Eminem had the same vision over a year ago. As far as waiting for 'the groups' to make a decision....screw it. Where are they? You shouldn't even have to be asking. We can't wait for Conyers, he took over 6 months to push for a censure over the iraq war, when we have more than enough evidence for impeachment.

A DU supported protest sounds like the BEST idea. If you want to make a definite decision, I will write benfrank.net and see if he'll make a special banner for DU.

Better yet, maybe Mopaul wants to make one-that would be really cool?!. Maybe Skinner would consider putting it up as a banner ad?

27. Mopaul? Are you there?
Do you think the people of New Orleans would be ready for a march on congress about now?

29. Aargh! I can't recommend this for the "greatest".
If this is reposted, and I suggest it should be, please PM me to recommend this. People need to see this thread.
