Chicagoans Against Bush & Co.

About Me

We aren't an "official" organisation. We are here to unite all Chicagoans (and friends around the world) to fight against George W. Bush and Co.!
The biggest fight is often within ourselves... You already think the thoughts; now you have to turn that into action. Nothing is going to change unless we join together and collectively work for it.
Send us ideas for action as well as upcoming events to add to the calendar. Let's all work together for our common cause!
P.S. If you want to network with existing groups, check out the Illinois Coalition for Peace & Justice . (They have a huge member group list.)

My Interests

WE STAND FOR:
human rights, health care, education, decent housing, protecting the environment, free speech...
The Bush administration has acted to supress these things we value!
WE FIGHT AGAINST:
war, torture, theocracy, genocide, racism, sexism, all forms of discrimination, lies, cover-ups
The Bush administration has committed all these atrocities.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone who envisions a better world... Everyone who sees the current administration as a threat to our existance...
