Along with around 500 other activists, I attended the World Can't 
Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime speeches at Cooper Union tonight.

It was great. The speeches were very sharp, the comedienne (Reno) was 
hysterical, and the crowd was really into it.

Malachy McCourt came on stage and gave both a funny presentation and 
a hair-raising rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." He'll 
be speaking at the rally and march on Thursday, which begins at Noon 
at Dag Hammarsjold Plaza (47th St. & 1st Ave.), which then marches 
around and ends up at another rally, 4 pm, at Union Square.

I'm urging all Greens and other anti-fascists to drop whatever you 
are doing and attend these rallies. Coming as they are at this moment 
in time following Bush's "Right to Torture" legislation (thank you 
Democrats and their apologists -- to hell with the Magna Carta! 
Clearly, 800 years of Habeas Corpus is enough!), and occuring all 
over the country in 170+ cities, this is our chance to begin to take 
the offensive against the whole kit 'n kaboodle of the Bush regime 
and its march towards fascism.

Let's not be good Germans, defeatist Amerikans, or simply snowed 
under with other tasks. The time is now. Please attend, bring Green 
Party banners, and let our presence be felt and change the course 
this country is on.
