On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, hundreds of antiwar activists expressed their outrage over President George W. Bush’s eight warmongering, economically disastrous, torture approving and lawbreaking years in the Oval Office (2001-2009). The good riddance to Bush rally was held at DuPont Circle, in Washington, D.C. David Swanson, cofounder of afterdowningstreet.org, was one of the speakers at the event. He demanded the appointment of a “Special Prosecutor” to bring to the bar of justice the wrongdoers in the Bush-Cheney Gang. After the speeches, the protesters marched to the White House. Once there, they tossed shoes and combat boots at the White House and insisted: “Arrest Bush!” For background, see: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/38908 and http://shoebush.org/.

On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, hundreds of antiwar activists held a rally at DuPont Circle, in Washington, D.C. Then, they marched, led by the “Veterans for Peace,” about 15 blocks south to the White House. As they paraded, they chanted slogans, like: “Arrest Bush!”; “Prosecute Bush!”; “Stop the Torture!”; Stop the War!”; “Stop Spying on the People”; and “War Crimes!” At the White House, they tossed shoes and boots at a gate, near the recently erected presidential reviewing stands. Again they insisted: “Arrest Bush!” For background, see: www.afterdowningstreet.org.
