Tuesday evening, August 28th, there was a meeting sponsored in part by MoveOn.org at Pontiac Central H.S. in Pontiac, Michigan. My estimate, based on the full lower auditorium at the school, is at least 450 to 500 folks against this despicable Bush adventure.
Speakers ranged from local, vocal opponents of Bush and war such as Bruce Fealk, to Detroit's own John Conyers. Of course, Joe Knollenberg didn't show.
Music, including a line that contained the word "bullshit", was provided by the "Ragin' Grandmas". who didn't pull any punches, obviously, about how they feel regarding the present administration in D.C. A panel of local folks was asked questions from the audience. Their answers were pretty good, if occasionally lengthy. A local reverend could only offer prayer as a means of fighting city hall - doesn't work, nobody's listening rev. But he got the picture, I think, when shouts of "action" came from the audience (not me, I just muttered under my breath).
Numerous signs were handed out and held up in the audience including calls for impeachment and "Suppor the Troops, Bring them Home" types of signs. It is unfortunate that when the shrub (King George) goes anywhere, his minions prevent him from seeing or hearing the real roots of this country clamoring for his head. I recommend everyone who gives a damn about this country deluge the White House email with criticism and nastiness - perhaps the lying coward in the Oval Office will at least get a bad vibe.
Later
