Defeatists to March on Bughouse Square

At least one protester was afraid of being shot by Vice President Cheney during the 2006 march.

How will the defeatists get there? They will start out at the Federal Plaza in the South Loop (Adams & Dearborn), their destination will be Washington Square Park, on the Near North Side. Washington Square Park is also known as Bughouse Square, a nod to the soapbox orators who spoke in the park across from the Newberry Library for fifty-some years starting around 1910. Watch for Studs Terkel sightings.
They will probably march right up Dearborn instead of their recent route on the popular Michigan Ave. I have the feeling that last year's relatively sparse turnout had something to do with the new route up what is a much less traveled street at that time of the evening. I had been wondering about this year's march when I found a flier on the el today, the Chicago ANSWER flier is in both English and Spanish. Chicago ANSWER is an unabashed communist group.
Oh yeh, this fun-house kicks off at 6 PM Wednesday March 19 at the Federal Plaza. Bring your camera and your sense of humor.
