At last!!!!!

Congratulations to all those of you who turned out yesterday to say no to
Bush and his war agenda! Big, positive response from the media and
Italians everywhere, as Steph has reported in her email. It was great!

And special kudos to the demo committee that came up with (and prepared,
and acted out) the Bush-Cheney-Rice in chains scenario. Magnificent!
Historical!! Premonitory??? (Let's hope.)

The tide is turning, Kucinich's brave speech on Monday is putting Bush on
the defense; even if Pelosi and Hoyer are stonewalling impeachment, they
now have an arm to threaten Bush with if he attacks Iran -- they can bow
to the demands of the American public.

So lets make our demands heard! (Read below.)
