The protest will highlight their anger over the ongoing US occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Speaking on the upcoming protest, National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan said;
"We will be mobilising our activists next Monday to send a message loud and clear that the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are illegal and must come to an end."
"Thousands upon thousands of Iraqi and Afghanistan citizens, including women and children have been unnecessarily killed, the stability of these nations have been shaken to the core, and the sovereignty of its peoples stolen and ignored."
"The protest next Monday must resonate with the incoming US president that the ongoing occupations are illegal, inhumane and must be ended."
"While we will be visibly and vocally protesting, the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness will meet with George Bush and raise these concerns with him."

Isnt it ironic that the senior party is welcoming the visit? US investment and all that? What would che say?
Sinn Féin while welcoming US investment in the North, will use the Bush visit as an opportunity to raise our ongoing concerns and demand fro an end to the US occupation in Iraq and advise against their brutal foreign policy.
Martin McGuinness in a statement today said,
""President Bush is aware that we have serious reservations relating to US Foreign Policy, particularly the invasion and occupation of Iraq and we will be raising this directly with the President."
There is nothing ironic about protesting about an issue and then meeting and pressing your demands and concerns with those respnsible.
Infact it is a more productive form of protest.

What would Che say to American investment Conan? What would Che say about Ogra's previous press release considering Stalin, was Stalin not an inspirational figure for Che?
It is very clear who anonymous is, with the OTT love of Uncle Joe, a young IRP perhaps??
And what is with all this what would che say?
Fidel met with Trick Dicky in an attempt to break down economic sanctions of Cuba.. shock horror.
The important thing here is that, SF the voice of Republicanism in ireland will be protesting and pressing our concerns wirth Bush!

Good work Comrades. Perhaps we should also stage a demonstration concerning the situation in Zimbabwe recently where democracy is being choked by the ZANU-PF
