Bush/Putin Protest a two-fer!

As you may or may not know President Bush will be meeting with Russian President Vladmir Putin in Kennebunkport on July 1st and 2nd. A protest has been organized so that we can show the twin administrations that we want neither of them to build missle shields, and incase hes had a change of heart to let Georgie know we want our soldiers back home with their families! Here is the information that was sent to me.
