March 17, Tuesday, 2009 @ 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM:George W. Bush Go Home Rally!! and Conclusion of the Trial - "The People vs George W. Bush"

[Shoes can be dropped off at Earth's General Store, 10832 Whyte Avenue, Edmonton, AB 780-439-8725]

George Bush's first international speech after finishing his presidency will be to the Calgary Rotary Club on March 17th, the sixth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and the Calgary's activist community would like to give him the welcome he deserves.

There will events throughout the week leading to Bush's visit but for
those outside Calgary we wanted to give you a chance to give him his due welcome. To that end the local activist community in Calgary is asking people from around Canada to send us your old shoes so they can be a symbol to boot Bush Out of Canada! We are hoping people will send shoes in from across the country to show solidarity.

Also, people can include notes or letters with their shoes and we will post them with the wall of shame or attach them to the shoes at the rally for people to see.

The sent in shoes will be displayed around the perimeter of the "George Bush Go Home Rally" and the conclusion of his trial. We are also going to build a shoe-cannon that will fire shoes at a picture of Bush.

The CUPW, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Calgary Local has
enthusiastically agreed to have their Calgary office as a location where shoes could be sent and stored:

CUPW -Calgary Local
109 - 5621 - 11 St. N.E.
Calgary AB.

After the rally, some shoes will be sent to George Bush's best friends and local MP's, Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney. We will donate the remaining ones to an appropriate clothes bank.
