"From
August 30th through September 4th, the Republicans will be
invading New York City to nominate George W. Bush as their candidate
for President. Never has a convention been hosted so late in the year
(the GOP moved it from its normal July time) and never before has the
RNC been in New York City. Why host a convention in September? Why New
York? By exploiting our grief and trauma from September 11th, the
right wing intends to further their regressive political agenda."-
from NYC residents organizing against the RNC
Pittsburghers! Get on the Bus to New York City

neo-liberalism, disregard for human and animal rights, destruction of
the environment, an out of control system based on exploitation and
force. The eyes of the world will be on New York... and they will be
seen through the eyes, lenses, and pens of 15,000+ members of the
media at will be some of the largest, most widely covered, and most
intense protests in our nations history. This is a historic moment.
