Here in New York City the demonstration received a strong turnout despite a steady downpour. March organizers estimated the crowd at 45,000. ImpeachBush.org mobilized people from around the East Coast, and throngs of attendees were seen with impeachment signs.
[Duchess Note: Despite the weather on Saturday, marchers and even myself, were out in full force to protest war and demand impeachment of the warmongers in Wash DC. I was in Foley Square with other groups [braving the rain & wind] and ready to greet them, as well as hand out free literature. Those of us in Foley Square accepted donations for buttons, bumper stickers, posters, t-shirts, etc. The NYC Kucinich Team did very well, despite being put in the last tent by UFPJ, and several of our team circulated the crowd getting word out on the campaign. It was great talking with many of the protesters and activists. Strength through Peace.]

War Protests: Why No Coverage?
Jerry Lanson, Christian Science Monitor
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/10/30/4907/
I’m not suggesting here that the Times or any news organization should be in collusion with a movement - pro-war or antiwar, pro-choice or pro-life, pro-government or pro-privatization. I am suggesting that news organizations cover the news - that they inform the public about any widespread effort to give voice to those who share a widely held view about any major national issue.
[Duchess Note: One of the readers of this article made the following observation … “We are marching to the wrong places. We should march on the corporate headquarters of all of the major news media. This could include strike lines such that media employees themselves would have to decide whether or not to cross.” Very good point, also, marching on the weekend means most NYC office workers and such are at home. Best to do an effective march or protest during a work week. I’ll gladly take a vacation or personal day from work to participate, as I feel that strongly about what is happening to this country. We must ALL come together as one, raise our collective voices in protest AND stand up to these corrupt, arrogant bullies. They can be defeated! Remember … strength through love, peace, justice, truth and honor.]
PEACE QUOTE OF THE DAY ... We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. William Gladstone (1809-1898)
