Along with around 500 other activists, I attended the World Can’t Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime speeches at Cooper Union tonight.
It was great. The speeches were very sharp, the comedienne (Reno) was hysterical, and the crowd was really into it.
Malachy McCourt came on stage and gave both a funny presentation and a hair-raising rendition of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” He’ll be speaking at the rally and march on Thursday, which begins at Noon at
I’m urging all Greens and other anti-fascists to drop whatever you are doing and attend these rallies. Coming as they are at this moment in time following Bush’s “Right to Torture” legislation (thank you Democrats and their apologists), and occurring all over the country in 170+ cities, this is our chance to begin to take the offensive against the whole kit ‘n kaboodle of the Bush regime and its march towards fascism.
Let’s not be good Germans, defeatist Amerikans, or simply snowed under with other tasks. The time is now. Please attend, bring Green Party banners, and let our presence be felt.
