She is planning a rally for Nov. 16 in her city.

In Houston, Lois Wright, a 46-year-old saleswoman in a 
drapery workroom, said she felt compelled to take the 
two-day bus ride to Washington, because the Bush 
administration seemed "hellbent on going to war."

"It's O.K. to do stuff in Houston, but nobody gets to hear  about it," she said. "I felt if we were right in their 
faces, they couldn't ignore us."

Polls show that about 50 percent of Americans support  sending ground troops to Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein  from power. Antiwar organizers acknowledge some public  support for military action, but said that until now, the 
voices of those who do not support the policy have not 
been heard.

"I think the president has considerable support," Mr. 
Zmolek said, "but I think the nation is pretty divided on 
this." 

Certainly, there is still debate. In Austin, the 
University of Texas student government passed a resolution  on Oct. 22 opposing an attack, by a vote of 20 to 17. Some  students seek to have that vote overturned, saying it does  not reflect the sentiment of the campus's 50,000 students.
