NEW YORK (CBS) -- More protestors made their voices heard on Friday morning, ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention. Dozens of women who call themselves 'MOB-sters' took their anti-Bush message to the Brooklyn Bridge.

The group 'Mothers Opposing Bush,' also known as 'MOB,' marched across the bridge with their children and strollers in tow.
They're rallying against president bush's positions on education, healthcare, environment and civil rights. They claim the policies endanger their children's future.
The protesters Friday were equipped with buttons that said "Join the MOB." They also carried diapers, baby food and red, white and blue balloons.
"I'm not a mother, but I don't want Maya to grow up in a world where the only solution to problems is war," said Noah Haiduc-Dale, who was marching with his 3-month-old daughter.
The grassroots group that claims 10,000 members nationwide - including Republicans, Democrats and independents - was started in Annapolis, Md. by mother-of-four Iris Krasnow.
"We want to reclaim the soul of America, which we feel has been doused by this dangerous administration. We want to protect what's closest to a family's heart - health care, education, the economy and the environment," Krasnow said in a telephone interview from Annapolis, where she was busy organizing her group's activities in 160 cities before the November election.
Friday's MOB march in New York was led by a pair of 4-year-olds with their "Kids for Kerry" banner.
"He's the president _ but not right now," said Tiber Worth, holding one end while his classmate Isabella Stevenson clutched the other as they headed across the bridge.
