RECAP
After a stormy afternoon, both the sun and anti-war protesters came out to celebrate the 4th of July in their own unique ways.  Banners were seen on the I-275 overpass at both 22nd Ave North and 8th Street South, declaring "Honk to Impeach Bush and Cheney" and "Blessed are the Peacemakers" to name a few.  Following the bannering, about 70 protesters gathered to air Bush's dirty laundry by marching with clothes lines, through Straub and Vinoy park, jammed with clothing  portraying messages of Bush's crimes and failed policies.  Messages included, "Most Children Left Behind" and "You say president, I say dictator".  Flags were also flown upside down to emphasize the fact that our country is in severe distress.  It was a great day to gather with like-minded people who are concerned and afraid of the direction our country is moving in and also empowering to stand up and speak out for what is right.  Thank you to those who braved the rain and traveled from Gainesville, Spring Hill, North Pinellas and Hillsborough county.  The Bush's dirty laundry parade was a huge success thanks to everyone.

Participating groups:
Florida Peace Action Network, Tampa Bay Veterans For Peace, St. Pete for Peace, Progressive Democrats of America (Pinellas), Nature Coast Coalition for Peace and Justice,and The Refuge Ministries.
