<DIV>Houston IndyMedia posted some film focused on the early hassle of permitted demo space, site turf, with the River Oaks Economic Development Corporation (BigBill Crew, the big guy in tan coat), secret service, private security & HPD. </DIV>
<DIV>HPD did a decent job keeping the peace, escorting folks back & forth across the street.</DIV>
<DIV>we were SQUISHED, and over 100 feet from store entrance, and we could at least march back & forth on a sidewalk picket line with the banners and all were safe:) </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At least the 4th largest city in the USA had a visible presence of opposition to GWBush administration failed policies & disasterous 8 yrs. It's hard to put them behind us because this crook along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove & Condi caused so much damage that we'll feel it for yearrrrs to come.

<DIV>You can print your own bookmarks. Codepink women for peace created a "War Criminal bookmark" to insert in W's (ripped off) book whenever you go to bookstores. and MOVE the book to "Comics", Fantasy?
