Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson called for 'the biggest demonstration this state has ever seen' to protest President Bush's appearance Monday before a national veterans convention.
'This administration has been disastrous to the country,' Anderson said Friday. 'If people could organize and speak out in an effective manner from the reddest state in the country, that would garner a lot of attention.'
In an e-mail Wednesday to about 10 activist leaders, the maverick mayor of Utah's capital called for a diverse demonstration to greet Bush when he speaks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Salt Palace Convention Center. The mayor plans to join the protesters."
