Sept. 24th: A Day for War
The Billionaires were there to tell 300,000 average Americans about the benefits of the great multi-billion dollar boondoggle in Iraq. Our own Ivana Moore-Enmoore wrote up an account of the event with pictures in her exclusive blog. If that link is outdated try this one.

Blog Videos
Our magnificence is on display in a video of the September 24th Anti-war
March shot by the infamous Rev. Mykeru (http://mykeru.com). The direct link
is: http://www.ourmedia.org/node/64852
If that link doesn't work, right click on the link and choose "Save Target
As" or "Save Link As". We show up around 4:10 and some of our signs are
legible despite the bad video quality.
Dan Wilcox of Brad Blog (http://www.bradblog.com) also shot a video. Around
4:35, the camera is focused on Cindy Sheehan and Jesse Jackson as they pass
us. Someone excitedly cries, "Billionaires for Bush! Billionaires for Bush
on the right!" and both Jesse and Cindy turn to see. Ah, an inspiring
moment!
The remainder of both videos give a good sense of what the march was like
and how fatiguing it was for us Billionaires - we had to contend with the
seemingly endless stream of rabble. At one point on the Brad Blog video,
marchers stop in front of the White House and chant "Liar! Liar! Liar!
Liar!". Good thing our Georgie was doing a photo op in Colorado at the
time!
