On Monday September 26, 2005 Cindy Sheehan was arrest # 1. A DUer named Megan ... meganmonkey was arrest #5. In all there were 350 individuals arrested for Civil Disobedience for kneeling to pray on the sidewalk in front of the White House. The last of the Operation Ceasefire 350 was released at 5 AM this morning.

Folks - I gotta tell ya ... 350 is a far cry from the numbers acknowledged by the press. Proving once again The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!

It was reported on television last night thar new polls show that 63% of Americans want our troops brought home NOW!

32. Thank you Peggy.

It may take a while for my body to return to the way it was before Operation Ceasefire. I had volunteered to work as a Peace Keeper for the march, we were so short staffed that my shift was extended well beyond my 3 PM quitting time. I'm sorry to say that my old body is still complaining about my activities on Saturday and Monday.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. Joan! What happened???

[In_The_Wind]

33. Crazy Guggenheim

I became a klutz while taking pictures of Megan. It was a long weekend and I was starting to come down with the 'LynneSin DC Cold'.

I need a new pair of glasses, some new skin in a few places and enough time for two black eyes to return to normal ...

nothing much

[Texasgal]

9. AMEN SISTA!!!!

Thank you so much for going out there and screaming for what so many of us believe in!

And I am sooooo sorry that you got arrested, but you inspire me more than you'll know.

Thank you...

[In_The_Wind]

17. I was support for Megan. I was arrested.

Everyone who prayed did so with the knowledge that they might be arrested.

The DC Police were kind and respectful as they went about doing their job.

Megan will be posting the full store of her arrest.



:patriot: The woman was awesome!

[In_The_Wind]

24. OOPS ... CORRECTION ... I WAS NOT ARRESTED !!!

I should not be posting until I get some supper and some rest.

34. Thanks Left_Winger

I've been trying to recover from a long weekend. I'm sorry but my response time is a little slow this week.

It is great to feel the genuine support of some of the DUers who weren't able to make the trip

[LynneSin]

15. BTW, Joan, call me later tonight so we can fix up your football team

You're the only team that hasn't won and yet you have one of the highest scoring teams. You have a few players on bye week and I'll walk you through fixing that up.

:pals:

[In_The_Wind]

38. oops ... sorry Lynne! I've been too sick to play football.

and you weren't supposed to talk. So - I had a great team that I mismanaged. Damn!

it is great to see my friends here on this thread to express their love and support for Megan and me - that's enough :loveya:

This community rocks and you two are a big part of it. Let us hope that these past few days have awakened the minds of those who won't question this administration. Blind obedience is never the answer.
