Bush Must Go! Organization Founded

Announcing a budding new organization in Ithaca/Tompkins County called “Bush Must Go!”. Our vision is as follows: “In coordination with other national and local groups, we are part of a sustained campaign of political mobilization to defeat Bush in 2004 and to build a large, active, and enduring community movement devoted to peace, justice, social equality, and grassroots democratic participation.”

One of our first major “actions” is the distribution of a thousand “Bush Must Go” yardsigns and 2500 bumper stickers. The yardsigns are 16 inches by 26 inches with a 4 inch by 24 inch space at the bottom to put your personalized message into. (We offer ten different bumper stickers for sale—or you can create your own message.)
