ALL WE ARE SAYING, IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE...

What an amazing turnout today! It was one of those winter mornings that I was tempted to cuddle up with a hot coffee and a good book, so I admit I dragged my feet about getting out to protest. But I'm so glad I did...lots of great new people, guitar strummin' and singing peace songs, and a real sense of unity and purpose. Congressman Conyers was there - is he a regular now? It was great to watch him interact with everyone, especially the younger people, who I overheard asking some very informed questions. (You know who you are!) I give him credit for showing up to support us - I know he heard from a lot of you exactly what you think! That's a good thing, and while it's his job to listen to us, most of our reps in Washington are not nearly so accessible, so I appreciate his willingness to listen and even take some heat. I'm so proud to stand with all of you each week...you renew my faith in people and in our country, and with the awesome show of young people lately, I'm inclined to be hopeful for the future.

Lots of really good pictures from today - thanks Bill and Nancy - you guys are amazing! It was even harder to choose than usual, so I'm just posting a ton of them. Click on any photo for a larger view. Thanks everyone - see you next week! Peace, Pam
