Pirate Radio Station Calling For Protests of Inauguration
Story here, excerpt below:
An unauthorized radio station in the nation's capital called for "massive protests" in the week leading up to the January 20 presidential inauguration.
The station broadcast Wednesday at 1680 AM and identified itself as "Guerrilla Radio, WSQT."
During the identification message, an announcer said, "WSQT is a project of urban activists in the D.C. area working on housing issues, homeless issues, issues of war, issues of occupation both at home and abroad, and issues of the environment that we all have to live in."
....
A number of anti-Bush groups have planned protests around Inauguration Day. Organized events range from demonstrators turning their backs on President Bush to war protests.
The anti-war, anti-racism group known as ANSWER has announced a demonstration along Pennsylvania Avenue as the president travels from the U.S. Capitol to the White House.
A statement at www.ANSWERcoalition.org calls for participants to claim spots by 9 a.m.
Another group has urged demonstrators to come to the official public ceremonies and then, at a set time, to turn their backs collectively on the president. The group is organizing on the Web at www.TurnYourBackOnBush.org.
A third group, www.ReDefeatBush.com, seeks to focus attention on perceived voting irregularities in the November election.
