solidarity from San Diego!

Too bad that 90% of the hypocrite left-wing dems in SF who came out in droves to protest Bush's war remained silent and cowardly during this demonstration. The turnout could and should be huge in the City. I hope the left eventually practice what they preach and condemn mass murder perpetrated by a "liberal" president with the same courage they showed protesting a "conservative" one. The republicrats are one and the same- wake up liberal San Francisco and take a stand!

This war will not end if people keep obediently moving to the curb. Take to the streets means take to the STREETS.

My persistance paid off but it took 20+ tries, it kept freezing up.. Anyone else having trouble?

Hmm. Worked fine for me.

It's all too convenient not to concern oneself with atrocities committed by our government's empire-building, but we abet when we do nothing. A government OF the People makes us all a little responsible.  Stop shirking your responsibility. Take a stand for truth, justice, and peace!
