Rohrbacher, Negroponte, Feinstein, Pelosi, and Boxer were greeted by

protesters at their offices or homes or clubs.

Activists marched through the state of Vermont for five days - 'Forming a

line that stretched nearly half a mile, more than 600 people marched into

Burlington Monday in what organizers said was the country's largest global

warming demonstration to date. Carrying signs and banners, marchers called

for political action to address climate change.\"

Nashville, Boston, Flint, Ground Zero, and London held demonstrations against

visits by the Bush and Blair administrations.

Sept. 11 brought thousands of people into the streets all around the world.

Counter-protesters are making weak showings at anti-war demonstrations

saying the troops need to stay in Iraq till the job is finished, as happened

in New Jersey - believe it or not.

Declaration of Peace Day demonstrations were held in over 350 cities around

the world on Sept. 21 - the International Day of Peace.

Several military recruiting stations saw protesters and more military

conscientious objectors stood up and spoke out about the war in Iraq.

In what was the largest demonstration of the month, on the 23rd in England-

\"over 50,000 activists, politicians, religious groups and members of the public

gathered in Manchester today, to demonstrate against the criminal wars in

Iraq and Afghanistan, and to also call for British Prime Minister Tony Blair to

step down. Police presence was strong but it was clear many police officers

were in support of the demonstration, making a refreshing change.\"

Last but not least, activists in DC served an official of the Bechtel Corporation

with an eviction notice.......evicted off of the entire planet!
