Barack Obama supporters plan to line Main Avenue for as many blocks as possible today to confront presidential candidate John McCain on his way to speak at Durango High School.

The demonstration is being organized by the La Plata County Democrats and other groups, including the Southwest Colorado Peace and Justice Coalition, Veterans for Obama, and Students for a Democratic Society.

"Show up whenever you can, and we will direct you to a position," a news release said. "We will rally until McCain heads out of town!"

Obama supporters will gather at 3 p.m. at Fassbinder Park, west of Main Avenue and 17th Street, and walk north to the high school at 2390 Main Ave.
