Demos-Actions Wars and conflicts USA
On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, hundreds of antiwar activists expressed their outrage over President George W. Bush’s eight warmongering, economically disastrous, torture approving and lawbreaking years in the Oval Office (2001-2009). The “good riddance” to Bush rally was held at DuPont Circle, in Washington, D.C. One of the featured speakers at the event was Ms. Lori Perdue. She is a poet, activist and a member of “Code Pink.” She did a dramatic reading of her excellent poem, “All You Can Eat.” It is a scathing criticism on the criminal antics of the grasping Bush-Cheney administration and their corrupt cronies—sucking off the “life blood of democracy.” After all the speeches, the protesters marched to the White House. Once there, they tossed shoes and combat boots at the White House and insisted: “Arrest Bush!” For background, see: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/38908 and http://shoebush.org/ and http://arrestbush2009.com/ and
