George W. came to Portland, Oregon today to talk about his new
Economic stimulus package. He chose Oregon because we have
the highest unemployment rate in the country and we were the first
to declare a recession after the 9/11 events.

Close to 1000 protestors greeted G.W. up to make clear that
despite the states financial troubles, he was NOT welcome. Many
progressive political people of all ages and background stood their
ground against the president shouting things, like "go back to
Texas", "Hail to the Thief" and "Bush is a Terrorist". Musicians from
Seattle helped the crowd to take over the streets, where upon those
stuck in their cars had an opportunity to witness that not all
American's are proud of Bush's domestic and international tactics.
Police surrounded the crowd in riot gear, on horses, and ready to
shoot tear gas until the crowd dispersed. Only three arrest were
made and the protest was considered a success.
