On November 6, 2006, a lone man in a V mask and clothing visited security checkpoints at the White House, the main Treasury Building, the Department of Justice and the Capitol, to deliver a letter and the Petitions for Redress. A short videotape of the encounters has made its way around the Internet, including links from sites such as MySpace.com.
The letter informed the leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government that up to 100 people in “V” masks and clothing would gather in silent vigil at those locations on November 14th to await a response to the Petitions for Redress.
True to his word, at 11:00 A.M. on Tuesday, November 14, 2006, nearly 100 men and women in V masks and clothing could be seen walking along different streets in downtown Washington, DC, all heading to Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House.
By high noon, the Vs were facing the White House, in formation. Some were holding a 40-foot by 25-foot banner that read, Dear Government; No Answers, No Taxes. Four were holding smaller signs that read Obey The Constitution - The Right To Petition.
They waited about one hour for a representative of President Bush to approach them with some response to the Petitions.
As has been his wont, the President did not respond.

America, like most so called democracies is in need of a radical make-over to give its peoples the kind of democracy the were taught to believe thy have ad yet have not
I believe most of the comment here that are labelled “anti-American” are in fact anti- they way democracy has become.
In order for a society to function at its highest level it is required the role of the child in ‘the emperor has no clothes’ has a healthy number of participant filling the role vigilantes: those who are ever vigilant to the usurping of the peoples rights and privileges.
Marcarc made some insightful observations with respect to proactivity on the “Political Parties and Democracy in Canada?” and perhaps the example set by the action of those who have taken the costume wearing role in the powerful concept of en masse activist resistance will take hold here in Canada as well.

Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder and treason
Should ever be forgot...
The 'Guy Fawkes' mask and the poem, are some of my oldest memories. I wonder why that stuck in my young impressionable mind?
Good movie too.
