Anti-Bush groups nationwide are expected to stage protests inauguration week. Examples of protests planned for Jan. 20, Inauguration Day:

* An economic boycott. The groups are encouraging people to not to buy anything. They'd like to see Americans go so far as to cancel all goods and services, such as cable and phone connections, and patronize only companies that give money to Democrats.

* The January 20 Committee, based in New Orleans, supports the economic boycott and will hold traditional jazz funeral procession through The Big Easy's downtown. The march is to mourn a second Bush term and what the group's organizer calls the death of democracy.

* Some protesters are going to the nation's capital for the big day, and turn their backs as the president's motorcade passes them on the parade route.
