WASHINGTON - Groups targeting President Bush (news - web sites)'s economic agenda, the legitimacy of his election and the war in Iraq (news - web sites) plan a week of events to counter his inauguration Jan. 20.
"Our intention is to show President Bush and the world our movement is energized, mobilized and determined to fight back," said Gael Murphy, of the activist group Code Pink.
Inauguration week will feature rallies, marches and demonstrations with the focus on peaceful, family-friendly gatherings, said organizer Shahid Buttar. Hundreds of groups throughout the country will participate, Buttar said, including Mobilization for Global Justice and the Committee to ReDefeat the President, a PAC that sees Bush's presidency as illegitimately won.
The groups have received permits for parks around the city, Buttar said, but they are still waiting for clearance to march along the Inaugural Parade route. More details will be released once all permits have been secured, said David Lytel, founder of Redefeat Bush.
Bush, who will be in a security area known as the "Red Zone," will be surrounded by blue, the color assigned to Democratic-voting states, Lytel said.
"What I expect is more people will be here to protest Bush's inauguration than to inaugurate him," Lytel said.
Lytel said his group will film events on Inauguration Day and release a documentary online that evening. They also plan a protest near the Capitol on Jan. 6, the day Congress will certify the electoral votes and officially declare Bush the winner.

Does this mean the Democrats have surrendered?
So these people are protesting in favor of Saddam and Osama Bin Ladin?
Real whackos, IMO.
The lefties had another press conference this morning. The DC Chapter also held a press conference this afternoon, and CSPAN will be playing it after the lefties' presser finishes.
The lefties are whining about all kinds of stuff...
on CSpan now
Maybe we'll have a huge blizzard on January 20th!
I'm thoroughly repulsed by these sore losers. They only have an adverse effect on my feelings towards them
They are a bunch of bratty spoiled crybabies. The MSM will no doubt be salivating over their childish antics, as well as the baby Euroweenies.
If Lytel's running it, they can rent a phone booth. He couldn't fill the seats in his Volvo for the MoveON concert at the MCI Center.
I'll be tuning in for the Good Guys show on CSpan,, but am currently trying to survive H&C without the H..
I can't stomach the MooreOns on Parade show on CSpan right now. ;-)
Kudos to Mike Gallagher for filling in for Sean.
Will NABLA be making an appearance?
They are whining about "disenfranchisement," and when asked how many protesters they expected, the guy said that they don't like to use numbers.
Oh boy, now they are going to show their posters!
Its always a good thing for us when the liberals bring their circus to town.
Lytel is on right now..
why can't these people become productive members of society instead of sworn enemies?
Lytel is talking about folks who are coming to DC to get arrested, and others who are going to "capture" DC landmarks, or something.
He's nucking futs.
lol... I don;t normally tune in both O-Really and H&C the same night,,
but being as the question was is aRnie too liberal for the GOP? I had to catch the Spin on it.
Colmes really feels so big w/o Sean to call him to task for being such a putz.
I'm still waiting for Anne to cold cock him with a book one of these shows. tee hee hee
OMG!!! I'm laughing and gloating all over again!!!!
BWAAAHAHAHAAA!!!!
Lytel says they are seeking redress January 6th in Congress and if they don't get it, there will be lots of angry people. lolol
LOL.. I see you caught that Buttar fellow, , he looks like a Junior Osama,, all he needs is a head wrap... he has the scraggly beard thing going on already.
Gale Murphy will make a man out of him.
