Protest to mark visit by Bush

By By KAROUN DEMIRJIAN, Staff Writer

It has been two years since George W. Bush visited his parents' home at scenic Walker's Point. The last time, it was for the wedding of George Prescott Bush, the president's nephew. This time, he's coming for four days to celebrate the wedding of his second cousin, 29-year-old Walker Stapleton, to Jennifer Bertocchi.

In the past, the president's jaunts in and out of Kennebunkport have been fairly private, marked more by golf than geopolitics.

But if the president hopes to leave politics behind during this brief visit, he'll have to ignore protesters who plan to converge in Kennebunkport to remind him, they say, that many Americans disagree with some administration policies, particularly the war in Iraq.


Jamilla El-Shafei of Kennebunk said she and other organizers have spread the word on the Internet in the last few days.

As many as 600 people from peace groups across New England are expected to march through town in a rally on Saturday, El-Shafei said. "I don't think we'll ever have seen a protest this big in Kennebunkport."
