Make these the biggest anti-war demonstrations Liverpool, Blackburn and the North West has ever seen. George Bush's No 2 is coming to town.
Take resolutions to your trade unions asking for support, write letters to the local papers.
Get onto all possible radio phone-ins. Send this information to all your email contacts and phone your friends and contacts.
To paraphrase a famous Liverpuddlian, imagine all the people saying NO to Condi the warmonger.
You heard the man - pass it on!

Rob Love, aka Larry Love of Alabama3 gave a shout for the protests against Condi's visit to Liverpool during his gig at the Barfly tonight, with a namecheck for the CondiWatch.co.uk url as he introduced the songs from his album 'Ghost Flight'.

''One of the most pure forms of democracy is the marketplace, the demand causes something to happen. Excess demand causes prices to go up and vice versa and that stands in contrast to governments that set prices and try to control demand''
I am not sure the point he was trying to make since this wasn't offered as a reply to any query, not was the venue touted to promote any marketplace.
I just wish I could feel reassured with such geniuses at the helm of global finance.
