The most important has to be the demonstration in front of the

White House (and several other cities in solidarity on June 16th)

where Rep. John Conyers handed a letter with over 500,000

signatures to the President (via his guards) asking poignant questions

about the Downing Street Minutes.

Several demonstrations were against the use of torture.

Bush's visits to Tennessee and DC met with crowds of protesters.

Code Pink in Fortworth continues to demonstrate for 23 weeks straight,

recently focusing on Halliburton profits as well as the Iraq war and other

policies of the Bush Administration.

Many cities showed dissent against military recruiting with Portland

protesters jamming the Governors Office demanding that he call

the Oregon Nat'l Guard home from Iraq. Highland Park N. J. and NYC

parents protested the recruiters access the students on campuses.

The strangest was Cheney's quick visit to Portland on June 6th.
