Donegal Highland Men give Bush & Bertie a Spanking!

On Saturday June 27th Donegal Peace activists converged on the diamond of Donegal Town to send a farewell message to President Bush and his Irish partners in crime. They came armed with banners, street theatre, poetry, drums and impassioned speaches as the summer sun finally hit the North West.

Attracting a large crowd of onlookers and supporters, including many American camera wiedling tourists, their messages were clear: that 'War breeds war.

That the Iraqi oil war cannot be allowed to continue as innocent people are being killed so that the western world can have cheap car fuel. That Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the PDs can no longer support the use of Shannon airport as a base for torturers on route to Iraq. America must listen to the world and be the force for peace it claims to be.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you....and we are very grateful for your efforts...

Here in America, many people are working hard to re-Defeat bush* in the upcoming elections, November 2, 2004....

John F. Kerry, a Catholic, is OUR candidate, and we are working very hard to get him elected...

bush* has to go...we KNOW that he's a war criminal....

YOUR efforts inspire us and give us strength and hope....

Thank-You !!

here's a photo of me, outside the White House, where bush* stays in Washington DC...March 22, 2003, after bush* BOMBED iraq pre-emptively, and committed a hitler-esque war crime, similar to hitler invading Poland...my Grandfather immigrated here to America from Ireland, and that is where I got my fighting spirit to stand up for what is RIGHT....

This protest made it to frontpage of the Donegal Democrat which has a circulation of over 20,000 people including Minister Mary Coughlan.

Act local, think global!
