[sniffa]

wow! what a turnout. :bounce:

we even got to meet another DUer for the first time (aLong with his wife and beautifuL chiLd).

it was both soLemn, and incredibLe - everyone was mostLy siLent, but everyone just seemed so happy to see each other.

we made a crappy sign made of: a DU bumper sticker; "we stand with cindy"; and "morans!" in the corner. hopefuLLy it gets into one of the god knows how many pics were taken.

22. About 70 people at the church down the street.

It was a decent turnout (last I heard, only 40 signed up)

Some songs were sung, some people got up to speak. The woman organizing it is going down to Crawford to see Cindy. A petition was circulated where we signed out nemea...again, to be given to Cindy.

I was glad I went..it was very moving.

[sniffa]

23. thanks terrya

for both going, and for the update.

i can't expLain it, but i'm aLL fired up with excitement now. :bounce:
Looks Like i'm going to bed Late. :o

[terrya]

31. It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

I think what happened tonight was...democracy in action. Something in very short supply the past 5 years. It was inspiring.

[sniffa]

25. i Love the pix

[huskerlaw]

26. I was really surprised

by the number of cars that honked/people that waved. They far outnumbered the occasional jackass.

[LynzM]

28. I just posted in your other thread!

110 people at ours, in a town of about 22,000. Not bad! Lots of honking and waving and peace signs, only a couple people being jackasses. Met some cool people and was glad I went!!

[sniffa]
