Hundreds March In Anti-Bush And Anti-War Protest

SEATTLE - About 500 protesters marched through downtown Seattle 
Saturday, venting their frustration over President Bush's re-election 
and calling for United States troops to be pulled out of Iraq. 

Protesters, organized by the anti-war group Not in Our Name, said they 
felt compelled to air their beliefs about Iraq and the leadership of a 
president they feel does not represent their interests. 

"What do we want? No War!" they chanted as they marched through the 
streets. 

Some people said they came out of frustration. 

"I am very anti-Bush, I am against his policies,"one man who goes by the 
name Ozzy told us. "The war is wrong, and his gay policy is wrong." 

Others said they joined the march because they truly believe in what 
they are protesting and they want to feel they can somehow make a 
difference. 

"If you want to make something change you have to be part of it," 
explained Annie Schill, 17. 

The protest last several hours and made its way through several parts of 
the city. 

Kellen Williams doesn't agree with anything the protesters were saying, 
but seeing them out there is what makes America great. 

"I think that people take for granted the fundamental right we have as 
Americans to express our opinion," Williams said. "That's the great 
thing about America." 

Others watching from the sidelines told demonstrators they should quit 
complaining and accept the will of the voters. 

Police on bicycles escorted demonstrators from Westlake Center to the 
Federal Building and back. 

There were no reports of any arrests. 

Another protest was planned for Jan. 20, the first day of the 
president's second term.
