We made the news!
All three network affiliates, top report ... we filled 30 blocks.

Did you know Cindy Sheehan was there? Susan Sarandon too.

And the anchors are making the connection between the war dead and our effort today.

Police report no arrests.

Reminds me of a song I wrote decades ago ...

When I think about another day,
When my friends will be glad to stay.
I never thought I would hear you say,
"I'm awfully glad to come this way."

It's a cruel world,
But you'll survive.
The others did,
And now they thrive.
We've made the Times,
And we can say,
"We're awfully glad to come this way."

2. Hi Fredda, I wa there too, but I couldn't figure out about how many
protesters we had.....How many do you think were there?
It seemed to me be be quite a bit less than the protest against the RNC a year and a half ago.
Thanks
