After having consulted with the Stop the War coalition, we've decided to join forces to picket the fundraising dinner for Dubya that Republicans Abroad are throwing here in London, featuring none other than Daddy Bush, on May 18th (two weeks from now).
I would like to get a fair representation from you London Expats Against Bush, and I would ask again (as in November) that you follow the simple instructions here (at the bottom) to produce your own EAB placards - as the press are now somewhat familiar with them, this will be yet another chance to remind everyone that we're here and we're still in the fight.
I would also like some ideas from you all on ways we could lessen the impact of this fundraising dinner. It would be stretching things to think that we could totally offset Dubya's dollar gain from this dinner (we are, after all, at the slight disadvantage of not having a former president in town), but I think we should at least try to get some sort of counter-fundraising effort underway. I think Democrats Abroad would be most helpful here, but any ideas are welcome. Pop into the Forums and let us know your thoughts.
Please pass the word around that we're going to make ourselves known again on May 18th. Just as before, there's no way a Bush is coming through town without us making a stink!
