BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 3 (SDN) ‹ Democratic and independent activists from all over the United States are planning protests to coincide with the inauguration of George W. Bush on Jan. 20, 2005.

    Several Washington-based groups will lead the protests, including United for Peace and Justice and D.C. Anti-War Network (DAWN). While spokesmen for both groups were reluctant to talk about specific numbers, some activists on Internet Weblogs, discussion forums and e-mail listservs have been calling for as many as 10 million people to descend on the nation's capital.

    "We are urging people to go to Washington," said Bill Dobbs, media coordinator for United for Peace and Justice. "We also encourage local protests and the white ribbon wearing" campaign for peace.

    The goal is to show the world that Americans are just as fed up with the U.S. electoral process as the youth movement in the Ukraine, he said.
