In Washington, DC "on the evening of Feb 4,
protestors continued the offensive of home protests.
With torture and exploitation as the common theme,
we first visited the home of a GSK exec (a SHAC
action), then moved on to the home of Paul Wolfowiz's
girlfriend, where he is rumored to sleep."
In New Orleans, "anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan staged
a protest at one of the city's shuttered housing projects
Tuesday, a day after 12,000 families left homeless by
last year's hurricanes were forced to leave their federally
funded hotel rooms."
Sheehan also spoke at a rally in Chicago. "The rally
ended with a short walk to Congressman Rahm
Emmanual's office a block away. Shoes representing
both the civilian as well as military dead were left on
his doorstep as a sad reminder of his failure to live
up to antiwar election promises. The temperature
was 30 degrees below freezing with the windchill."
Sheehan was also in Houston. "As mothers, fathers
and American citizens, we want to join Cindy Sheehan
in asking Barbara Bush "Why did our sons die for
your son's lies?""
"State Sen. Bates calls for Bush Impeachment!

that weaved it's way around L.A.'s main streets, tree
lined neighborhoods, cut through heavy traffic, waved
peace signs in the air, and shouted no war and ride
a bike slogans. Almost everyone on the ride had a
smile beaming across their face."
