Zero days...the movement is launched!!

Our banner in front of the White House finally read, "0 days til the beginning of the end of the Bush regime." The encampment closed down as 11 am approached, our notice having been served and now it was time to open a new chapter in history. The World Can't Wait DC Convergence began in Lafayette Park across from Bush's house, and we served him a verbal eviction notice!
