TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS


Saturday's protest saw the largest turnout yet. At one point I counted 32 people, but I think a few more showed up after that. Others stopped by to show support and to ask for details, so we may have some newcomers next week. We need them. We need to be so big that our message can no longer be ignored. The vast majority of the country believes that it's time to bring our troops home. History tells us that war cannot be sustained if the public isn't solidly behind it. We're there now. I wonder when the Decider will pick up on that little factoid? Congress seems to slowly be moving in the right direction, but they're not there yet. How many more lives will be lost while they fiddle and diddle? Sigh. Help them along. Call them and tell them it's time to take serious action on Iraq. (Phone numbers listed on the right sidebar ~ scroll down.)

And so we plug along, doing our small part, hoping in our hearts that our actions will eventually pay off. Do what you can to recruit more people. If we each bring one new person we'll double our numbers. Let's try. Let's make it impossible for them to ignore us. (click on pictures to enlarge)
