Salt Lake City Mayor Calls for Massive Anti-Bush protest
Yes, he's a Democrat, but he's a Democrat in a non-partisan post in the capitol city of the most conservative state in the nation. And he's calling for "...a collaboration of health-care-provision advocates, seniors, the (gay, lesbian and bisexual and transsexual) community, anti-Patriot Act advocates and other civil libertarians, anti-war folks, pro-Social Security advocates, environmental advocates, anti-nuclear-testing advocates, and anti-nuclear-waste-shipment-and-storage advocates..." to protest the President in Salt Lake today, where he just gave a speech to the VFW.They have transsexuals in Salt Lake City?
Rocky Anderson probably lost some votes, but his conscience is clear. Hell, just to be able to get on CNN by phone and list all the reasons you shouldn't like Bush is worth retiring over, I would think.
Mike Parkin, the senior vice commander of the VFW's Atomic Post 4355 in Salt Lake City called Anderson "very unpatriotic" and "despicable." Anderson's reply?
Patriotism demands that people speak out when we see our government officials acting in such antidemocratic and deceitful ways to the people of our country.Damn straight.
