Pics from protest in Maine

[cal04]

What local police estimated were about 700 anti-war demonstrators marched Saturday to within half a mile of the Bush compound before being turned back at a security checkpoint. Called Walker's Point after the family of former President Bush's mother, the stone-and-shingle retreat covering a craggy promontory is owned by the current president's parents.

1. Wait. Wasn't Bush suppose to visit New Orleans?

Oh....I get it. He's gotta be nice a refreshed from his vacation among the elites before he can make the trip south to let them know what an Average Joe he is and how much he cares!

2. Love the "Bush's 3rd term" sign!

Thanks for the pics.

18. That one is TERRIFIC!!! My fave, too.

It's encouraging to see other people independently voicing your own opinions.

5. That's a good load of folks for that small town

Ever since the first shithead took the WH, they built that "security gate" so your view is now blocked. It's like they've taken over a whole chunk of the town, the bastards. They've ruined the character of the place.

You used to be able to see the horizon, now you can't anymore.

8. I agree. We spend some time there in the summer.

shrub and company have spoiled the natural beauty of the port. I am glad so many people turned out for the protest.

6. I think that's a pretty good turnout.

It's one tiny corner of the US and W* is there for a wedding, which doesn't help draw protestors, IMO.
Thanks for the great pix! I love the 3rd term one!

11. It's quite a sacrifice if they're from out of town

I used to live in that area.

The cost of visiting in the Summer is becoming very upscale.

My Mother lives very close to there and visiting this time of Year is done only under duress.

24. The traffic alone down there is horrendous all summer.

Props to those who went and braved the cars. :thumbsup: :)

What beautiful pictures

Democracy at its finest. It we could get a march like this in every city in America, then the revolution we all desire will be at hand. What are we all waiting on? Instead of passively admiring the protesters, why don't we join them?
