VETO
BUSH! |
| |
On May 2nd, MoveOn.org
issued an emergency nationwide call for "Veto Rallies"
to protest President Bush’s veto of legislation on Iraq war
funding. The vetoed spending bill funded military operations in
Afghanistan and Iraq, and called for U.S. troop withdrawal beginning
October 1, 2007.
Sacramento responded with Veto rallies at several sites.
At the Memorial Auditorium site on 16th and J, rally participants
were encouraged by the enthusiastic honking of drivers passing by. |

Sacramento hosted
the closest “MoveOn” rally for Shirley, who drove over
the mountain from Truckee to add her support to the Veto protest.
"I hope that the nationwide rallys wake people up to the Bush
administration’s actions -- killing people, destroying resources,
and creating massive deficits.” |

Congressional Republicans
and conservative Democrats will continue their tepid approval of Bush
administration policies until our numbers in the streets reach the
critical mass needed to demonstrate overwhelming disgust. The Bush
administrations "War on Terror" has proven to be a "War
on the Working Class" both here and abroad. |

“We (American
people) are too comfortable. If there was a draft, this war would
end in a week,” Ed observed while waving a home-made foam "V-for-peace"
hand. “It's time to bring the troops home!” |

Obama supporters/Placerville
residents Suzanne-Marie (behind tree) and Richard have been appalled
by our country’s actions. “We have no business being in
a war in Iraq." |

Holding her "IMPEACH"
sign and a small American flag, Kim said, “Peace is patriotic
… the flag is ours too, not just the right wing's. I want to
take our country back.” |
