    :: Friday, August 22, 2003 ::

    Protesters Rally Against Bush: Police, probably snipers, were atop the domed Chiles Center where the luncheon was held about 200 yards from the demonstrators.

    'Jump, jump!' some of the crowd chanted.

    Demonstrators protested Bush policies on issues ranging from Iraq to the economy, gay rights,civil rights and the environment.

    'Welcome to Portland. Go climb a tree,' read one sign. Many Bush opponents believe his policy of thinning forests to reduce forest fire danger is a ploy to log old-growth timber.
