THE PEOPLE'S RESPONSE to the George W. Bush Library & Policy Institute
http://thepeoplesresponse.org

A peaceful, nonviolent march and rally will coincide with and protest the George W. Bush Presidential Center groundbreaking in Dallas on November 16, 2010. Join us for a series of events that will move us toward accountability for the past and democracy for the future!

Accountability is the hallmark of a mature democracy: no one is above the law! Remind past, present and future administrations that the truth cannot be buried or changed, and warn the public that the same ideologues who crafted the Bush policies of the last decade will be writing a script for our future. Will this think-tank develop the same kinds of policies that brought us pre-emptive war, economic crisis, environmental disaster, unprecedented presidential power, and diminished civil and human rights? Act now! History is already repeating itself!

Events are planned in Dallas for November 14 -17, 2010, with the march and rally on the 16th. Join us!

Speakers will include: Col. Ann Wright, Dr. Robert Jensen, Ray McGovern, Rev. Dr. William McElvaney, Hadi Jawad, Representative Lon Burnam, Diane Wilson, Marjorie Cohn, Kathy Kelly, and David Swanson.

Sponsors and endorsers include: Texans for Peace, North Texas Progressive, The Dallas Peace Center, North Texas Veterans for Peace, Peace Action Denton, Code Pink Greater Dallas, The Peace Center, Arlington, Code Pink Ft Worth, After Downing Street/War Is A Crime, Waco Friends of Peace, Code Pink Houston, Austin Veterans for Peace, The Austin Center for Peace and Justice, Code Pink Austin, Progressive Democrats of America, the Robert Jackson Steering Committee, Dallas ISO.

1. G.W. Bush LIE-brary

8 years of a national nightmare.

2. Republicans have no conscious. As much damage he's done...

to this country and the thousands of lives lost and soldies maimed because of wars he lied us into, he should be ashamed to show up to the ceremony. From the rumors I keep hearing, he's hitting the bottle pretty hard lately. Hate to be callous, but if this is true, then no better for him.

As a Methodist and as an SMU alum, I am embarrassed and ashamed to have this abomination on our campus, on property owned by the United Methodist Church.

8. Anti-war protesters are planning to converge around SMU

Anti-war protest set at Bush library groundbreaking at SMU

Anti-war protesters are planning to converge around SMU next month, when formal groundbreaking ceremonies for the George W. Bush presidential library center are expected to draw up to 5,000 visitors to campus.

The Nov. 16 groundbreaking probably will get considerable national attention, because it comes exactly one week after Bush's memoir, Decision Points, is released.

The former president, who has made few public appearances since leaving the White House, is expected to break his self-imposed silence about his two terms in office when the book debuts.

A coalition of peace activists, some of whom have been meeting with local law enforcement officials in recent weeks, wants to share the spotlight.
