December 12th!
What? Protest

Citizens for a Legitimate Government

December 12th is a day we'll all remember, and remember we will! Across the country and on your computers and phones at home (for those of you not near an event and not traveling to DC), you can participate by protesting against the day the Supreme Court used the Equal Protection Act to disenfranchise thousands of people and kill Democracy.

At Citizens for Legitimate Government, we've set up our own website specifically for this day of action. Just follow this link and get active. From writing to the Supreme Court to protests nationwide and talking points for conversation, we hope you'll find it an invaluable resource in fighting against the Bush Occupation.
