El Presidente is coming to Birmingham today. There are at least a few protests planned according to the Birmingham News,

During Bush’s visit, members of the Alabama Sierra Club and environmental and labor activists will hold a rally in Linn Park. A news release says the event will focus on the risks posed by the Army’s chemical weapons incineration program in Anniston and call on Bush “to protect Alabama’s air, water, health and safety.”

Larry Darby, president of the Atheist Law Center, said a protest against Bush’s “faith-based initiatives” will also be held at Linn Park today from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Speaking of the “faith-based initiatives”, there was an interesting report on NPR’s Weekend Edition about one particular initiative that I would encourage you to check out.
