Bush visiting Greensboro in Oct (not on the 5th:) aweek or
so later-for a fundraiser, more info to follow.
Hopefully we can bring some of the Oct. 5th crowd and more folks to gree him!
He won't be driving by my house like he did when I lived on a main drag in NJ, but I will try to greet him still.

3. Wednesday Oct 18th
I heard it will an expensive fund raiser dinner, in a posh neighborhood, likely a county club.
At the Impeachment rally in charlotte, Ann Wright actually asked if he was coing to our area, and encouraged folks to demonstrate- with signs such as requesting he be arrested.
She rode around NY in a convertible holding up a sign to arrest Bush, when he was there to address the UN. She is so cool.
Anyway, we will be taking various actions.

If you can come and share your abilities and ideas. 705 N. Greene St., Greensboro. If not REALLY try to make it for the Rally in the eve. Oct. 5th eugene and Market st.
from an e-mail-
" People all over the country are responding to the call for the Day of Mass Resistance in tremendous numbers. Last week there were 50 protests planned. After our USA Today ad hit the newstands, that number has TRIPLED to over 150. North Carolina is #2 in the country in terms of the number of protests, with 12 planned statewide, with only California having more. "
Wow!

10. heard on news definately coming Wednesday
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 05:33 PM by jarnocan
they mention Randleman for lunch.. no mention of Irving Park but it is a private affair I think.

WXII 12 News confirmed that Bush will appear Wednesday at Falkener Elementary School, followed by a closed lunch with community leaders in Randleman. He'll also visit the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randolph County..
I suggest google for some maps, or use map quest for optimal places to freeway blog or stand with signs. More to come.....

Edited on Fri Oct-20-06 03:38 PM by jarnocan
He had the audacity (and edu. admins and parents had the stupidity) to allow him to talk to elementary school children, the day after he signed the torture bill. http://flickr.com/photos/jarnocan/

Just to have this on record with the OP in NC.
