Build Bushville, DC on 9/11/05

 

 

On 9/11 Survivors of Bush will participate in a

NONVIOLENT

act of Civil Disobedience:

building Bushville, DC on the Washington DC Mall.

 

FEMA pens Katrina survivors like diseased cattle.

Bushville, DC will force politicians and reporters to see them every day.

Bushville, DC may be small on 9/11, but it will grow.

 

Bushville, DC isn’t an organization - it’s a vision.

Everyone come to the Mall and join the crowd.

Katrina survivors are encouraged to come,

but all Bush survivors are welcome.

Be there and make history.

Imagine 10,000 Katrina survivors camped on Bush’s doorstep.

Camped in the seat of power and media.

In the Government’s face.

With endless stories for the press.

 

Bushville, DC will be the FACT that even George Bush can’t bluster away.

 

Bushville will stay through:

-Rumsfield’s 9/11 Freedom March

-The Katrina investigations and trials.

-The catharsis of Rove’s treason conviction.

-The Supreme Court coronations.

-Bush’s last days of office - soon.

-The rebuilding of our government’s ability to protect us.

 

On 9/11 Bush will try to blindfold us with our own American flag.

 

Founding Bushville, DC on 9/11 will honor ALL the victims of America’s tragedies.

 

Bushville, DC will be a center for Katrina survivor activism.

The White House has generously agreed to let us use its bathrooms.

Those who intend to camp on The Mall should bring tents and bail.

Weather in DC is predicted to be 80’s day 60’s night.

We will depend on the people of DC for food and support.

We could sure use some good Southern music. Bring an instrument.

 

Perhaps there will be only 3 of you, perhaps hundreds.

 

Stand together on the Mall with signs saying “Bushville, DC” and you have founded a symbolic City of Dissent. Take pictures and circulate them so the vision spreads.

 

Activists who are willing to risk jail should non-violently stand their ground.

 

Take pride in DOING something.

 

We are NOT counter-demonstrating against the Freedom March. They are commemorating the tragedy of 9/11/01 and should be honored. We are all Americans and it’s time to be kind to one another again.

 

This is NOT an organized event. There is no official March.

Come to the Mall and Build Bushville, DC.

 

The police dislike Bush as much as we do - treat them with firm politeness.

We need volunteers to teach non-violent protest techniques.

We need people with video cameras.

We need lawyers on the scene.

We need a spirit of healing and community.
