Organization hands out fliers, graffitis to get message out - There are only 16 days until the beginning of the end of the Bush regime, according to the World Can't Wait, a new political organization. The Austin chapter plans to be on campus and around town handing out fliers and actively advertising their cause.
"This administration does not represent us ... even though they say they do," said Sonya Morales, head of the Austin chapter.
Today marks the fifth day of encampment outside the White House counting down to Nov. 2, the day WCW has organized protest marches in 40 cities and college campuses across the nation. Nov. 2 is also the one-year anniversary of President Bush's re-election to office.
"We're not just going to be the same old people sitting at tables on the West Mall," Josh Waldman, an Austin WCW member, said. "We're going to be making noise and getting attention."
Advocates of the organization have spray-painted information regarding the WCW Web site and its motto, "Resist or Die," on buildings and sidewalks on or near the UT campus.
Because the offenses occurred at an institution of higher education the graffiti "is considered a state jail felony," said Sgt. Leigh Glass, a spokeswoman at UTPD. The department will be investigating the owners of the Web site to find out who committed the crime. Morales said the organization does not advocate the graffiti but that it is an indication the organization is inspiring people.
According to WCW, the march is only one event in a string of others meant to change the current political climate to one similar to that during the Vietnam War.
"We want to bring things back to that type of movement," Waldman said.
While WCW's goal is to drive Bush's administration out of office, they admit that may not immediately happen.
"The office is built specifically so the president could ignore public opinion," said David Prindle, a UT government professor.
Public opinion polls as of Thursday showed 38 percent of the country believes Bush is doing a good job.
"Bush is not setting any records in unpopularity, but it is very difficult to remove a president from office," Prindle said.
"A Republican congress is not going to impeach Bush unless he's caught committing felonies in the White House," Prindle said. "Nothing in his character suggests he would resign ... and barring a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, I don't see Cheney removing him from office."
I'd rather see the perps put to work with turpentine and toothbrushes. Make 'em clean up their own mess - it would probably be the first time many of them had been held accountable for something they had done.
If I recall correctly, that one particular Marine was ticked off...
ACTUALLY attend your classes for just one day wacko clowns.. Ask your Professor "What is a Constitutional Republic"? Be sure to have an appointment scheduled with a competent mental health professional immediately after since the shock of encountering reality may do irreparable harm.
Besides, I predict they will be successful. In fact, I'm seeing the day clearly.. in my head... forming... forming... yes! On January 20, 2009, they will have been successful in removing President Bush from office! Mark it down. You read it here first!
Sounds like they spent some time huffing the paint as well.
Cheer up, Bush-lovers...you'll be rid of him in about 1,190 days, actually.
oops I mean cheer up Bush HATERS, you'll be rid of him in 1,190 days...yikes...
Right you are Steven. He most certainly was.
I was referring to the Marines being under the Department of the Navy and how they get miffed when they are called "sea going bell hops".
A big Semper Fi to all my Marine Corps brothers!
There ... that aught to save my butt
WCW's Chicago chapter was involved in the arrests at the Minuteman meeting on Saturday.
WCW?? Didn't Vince McMahon buy them a few years ago?
These kids need to be shown film from Kent state.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

The radical left means to overthrow our constitutional form of government. It's the only way they can build their socialist utopia.
"Resist or Die" and in the past election it was "Vote or Die"! These mottos coming from liberals that support abortion either are meaningless or proof that Democraps are the embracing culture of death! No wonder they love terrorists so much!
Thank God.
"We want to bring things back to that type of movement," Waldman said.
Waldman must be on LSD.
Everytime I want to make fun of these people, they beat me to the punch.
When they coined the phrase "Keep Austin Weird" these are some of the idiots they had in mind!
It's obviously a play on P. Diddy's/Puff Daddy's/Diddy's failed motto from last year "Vote or Die." Hey, we held up our end.
