Looks like everyone has some green on, but their protests
at the intersection of Cedar and Main Streets this afternoon
had nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day.





To see and hear the messages these teenagers are giving,

make me proud, too.

[Breeze54]

6. Thanks and I will tell her and her friends!

I'm really happy to see even kids this young
making a stand and taking action,on their own!!
Just wonderful!
I'm sending this video to my son in Iraq!
I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it!
:hi:

12. I have goosebumps...so great to see!!!!!!!!

Tell your niece that she made me proud to be an American...today.

Peace.

2. That was so sweet!

Very poignant to see all of this protesting all over the Nation today and there's gonna be some big ones tomorrow, too!

The kids are smart to do this..we need them to be interested NOW in order to HELP change the direction of our country.

And the kids that want the bombing and fighting ..well, I bet they can hardly wait to join up in bush's endless wars.

3. You should be very proud! I liked the young John Cusack-ish guy.

[Caoimhe]

8. Yeah, he's a definite cutie!

They all are, and most importantly, they look like they are having fun. I am proud of every one of them, as they have more spine than most adults in this country.

[pacalo]

10. Yes, they were all impressive -- but I'm a John Cusack fan.

:grouphug: = To all the young people who took a stand & made us proud.

11. That is great! It is wonderful to hear socially conscious youth

speaking out.:hug:

Tell them way to go!! They are true :patriot:

[catmother]

13. that's great. did she learn from her aunt?

[Breeze54]

15. I don't know if she learned from me...

...maybe!! ;-)
She knows I was in DC last September, with my youngest son.
I called her today and read her all the comments from all of you and she
was all giggly and then got very serious and told me she had organized
it and invited an additional 15 kids but a lot had changed their minds
at the last minute. I told her not to be disappointed but to be proud!!
That people are like that and that's the way it goes sometimes but she
was very happy to hear all of your wonderful comments and kudo's to her.
She wanted to call her friends and tell them too!
Then she told me all about her soccer tournament! LOL!
She''s a great gal!
Thank you for all the warm thoughts to her!
I wanted to encourage her and you all helped!

18. I bet she is proud of you too. They are all great kids. It gives me hope.

:toast:

[ExclamationPoint]

14. Omg those are my friends!

Wish I could've been there!
Hopkinton has a lot of conservatives, but we have our rebels.

[Breeze54]

16. You're kidding me, right? lol

:shrug:
Yeah, there are a lot of 'yuppies' in that town, from what I've observed.
But there are also a lot of 'hippies' and liberals!
Sorry you weren't able to go!
But I wouldn't call her a rebel.
I'd call her a :patriot: !!

PS. But you CAN go tomorrow!!

On March 19th, the 3rd Anniversary of the War, our elected officials will be gathering

outside of the breakfast to let them know the war is no laughing matter!
