1000 Points of Hope
I don’t normally go in for hokey, but I’ll be at the American Can Do Better rally tonight in Martin Place. Around the world, timed to coincide with Bush’s appearance at the GOP Convention in NYC, protestors will gather with flashlights, candles, and so forth, to declare their preference for an end to the Bush Presidency this November. Democrats Abroad – Australia will be registering voters for absentee ballot. (Don’t forget: the deadline is 15 September.) Americans and Australians are welcome at the rally; in fact, the more the merrier, especially if the media turn up.
