Jan. 31, on The Night of President Bush’s State of the Union Address:
Bring the Noise!
Drown Out Bush’s Lies!
In large cities and small towns all across the
country, join in rallies one hour before Bush’s address as we make our
determination to ‘Drive Out the Bush Regime’ the political message of
the day.
At 9:00 PM EST, just as Bush starts to speak, everywhere we will BRING THE NOISE.
In a cacophony of sound, we will drown out his address with music: from
drums to violins, from hip hop and classical; and with noise: banging
pots and ringing church bells, sound car horns and lifting our voices.
