This is an urgent call to please come out this Thursday afternoon to protest President Bush’s appearance in Richmond and demonstrate our opposition to the current Administration’s illegal and immoral actions, both here and abroad.
The Republican Party of Virginia's web site indicates that the fundraiser will consist of a reception ($500) and photo opp ($5000) with Bush and Allen at the Science Museum of Virginia on Thursday, October 19th. Participants are required to arrive by 3:30PM, with the photo opp at 4PM and the reception at 4:30PM.
Bush's visit to our town (and in such a public venue) represents a rare opportunity for us to express our dissatisfaction with him, his war mongering policies, and those who support him.
The Richmond contingent of the Virginia Antiwar Network (VAWN), therefore, is planning a protest to coincide with this fundraising event. Members of the Hampton Roads Peace and Justice Coalition will be going to Richmond to join this important event. Details are given below. Interest is strong. Please plan to come out to show your opposition to this disgraceful Administration and all that it represents.
Occasion: Protest to coincide with the time and location of Bush fundraising event for Senator Allen.
Place: In front of the Virginia Science Museum, Richmond. We will attempt to congregate near the corner of DMV Drive and West Broad Street (security restrictions permitting). Parking may be available in the DMV parking lot adjacent to (east of) the Museum.
