NO Bush NO War

Dear peace activists,

clic the photo to enlarge

More photos of the NO Bush NO War Protest in Rome have been posted
on our web site: http://www.peaceandjustice.it/g-bush2008.php

We would also like to send our special thanks to Mat Callahan and Yvonne
Moore, (in the picture) who not only took time out of their holiday to come down to Rome to
march with us and play at the end of the protest, but also gave an
incredible performance at Arcobaleno last Friday. Two very talented and
passionate singers coupled with original music and thought provoking lyrics
made for quite a show, and helped raise funds for our work. Thanks, Mat
and Yvonne, and we hope to see you again soon in Rome! More on Mat
and Yvonne's music (http://www.matcallahan.com/ or

And we received some encouraging comments on our group´s presence at
the march that we wanted to pass along:

- Cinzia of the No Dal Molin movement in Vicenza wrote:
"I saw your group on TG1! You were a beautiful site! My compliments to the
`criminals!´"

- Vittoria, an activist with Amnesty and the H in IMPEACH, wrote:
Did you see the photo of the "arrest" of Bush & Co? It was published on "La
Repubblica? " I think your group was the "mejo" (romanesco for meglio -
best), in other words the group that got the most response, the group that
knew, more than any of the others, how to best represent the spirit of the
demonstration! Bravissimi!

- Andrea, an Italian activist, approached us at the Palestine event on
Sunday and said: "I saw your group at the Bush protest the other day. You
were the most lively, creative presence there. You were great!"

Thanks to everyone who participated and put a lot of work and thought into
this demo!
