PRO-DEMOCRACY RALLY

LOUISVILLE, KY November 18, 2000


Despite the bitterly cold weather (25 degrees wind chill) about one dozen citizens were back at the courthouse today at 1pm. Some of the folks who were at the last rally were in Cincinnatti protesting the TransAtlantic Business Dialogue and being gassed by the police . Several motorists and a bus driver honked horns in support. I brought some bannanas for obvious reasons. One pedestrian walked past and proclaimed: "Wow, for a minute there I thought I was in Berkley." A large group of Russians who were in town for a festival of religious faiths walked past on a city tour. And they expressed their support saying "we agree with you". A couple of them even snapped pictures of our demonstration. My camera ran low on batteries so this was the only photo I could take.

There was a gathering today in Louisville of citizens concerned with fair democracy in America. About 20 Kentucky citizen's met at 1 pm on the steps of the city courthouse and discussed the situation facing our country and the problems with a fair and representational vote in the presidential election. One person drove down from Lexington. A young woman from Liberia spoke (eloquently) in her native language about the importance of fair democracy. Annoucements for the meeting were faxed to the various local TV stations and newspapers, but none responded. We marched up 6th street - chanting "This is what democracy looks like" - to the front doors of the Courier-Journal newspaper, but the doors were locked. So we stood at the corner of 6th and broadway - several passing cars honked their horns in support. One driver flipped us the bird. I talked to a man waiting for the bus - we discussed global economics - he expressed his full support for our gathering, and predicted an economic civil war if Bush becomes president. Another gathering has been set up for the same location next Saturday on November 18th.
