About forty Democratic protesters squared
off against College Republicans down the street from the building
where Bush is speaking at a fund-raiser.
The groups stood yelling and chanting at each other in a
designated "free-speech zone" further down on President Clinton
Avenue in downtown Little Rock.
About thirty-five volunteers and staffers from retired General
Wesley Clark`s campaign headquarters arrived to back up a lone Dean
supporter who was being heckled by the Republicans from University
of Central Arkansas.
Lisa Burks, president of Hot Springs chapter of the National
Organization of Women, said the Republicans held signs reading
"We`ll be on the ballot" in reference to the tossup Democratic primary.
The Democrats chanted back: "W is for Wes" and
"Redefeat Bush" and "Bush Go home."
Around 11:45 a.m. the crowd left.
