Pictures from KC Say No to the Surge on Thurs, Jan 11

[proud2BlibKansan]

We had several hundred dedicated people come and send the message to Kansas City that we do not support a surge of troops in Iraq. For once, we even had media there.

1. Nice work! Glad to hear you got media. (n/t)

3. I liked the little girl who brought her mom out to the streets... :-) (n/t)

4. I like that too

I hope that lady and her daughter come back.

5. Great Pictures

We had a good turnout in VA where I live and surprise, surprise, our paper covered it as well as tv stations. You can tell the tide is turning when our conservative, disgraceful paper turns out for a Bush protest.

6. How is the PEACE luminary made!

I have got to have one of those. Thanks for sharing these pictures they are great. Peace, KIm

7. Those are beer boxes

The 12 pack size. He painted them white, carved out the letters and put tissue paper behind the cutout areas. Then he put candles in each box. He used candles in glass containers to reduce the flammability of the display.

Isn't it beautiful?

9. That is so cool!

You made me lol when I read beer boxes because we have no shortage of those around here. We will work on a set because we are planning another vigil in two weeks. Thanks so much for the info. Peace and love, Kim

15. Same guy made George

He dresses him up and brings him to all our protests. George used to have a yellow string coming from between his legs (since he is the leaker) until a George lover pulled the string out.

8. Where was that? Country Club Plaza?

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Yes at Nichols Fountain

That's where we protest every Sunday.

21. Great! Long tradition of anti-war protests there

I am sure you know that.

When I was living there, that was the VVAW hangout.

23. The Vietnam Memorial is only a block or so away

It really is a great location.

13. You are most welcome

[madokie]

14. Too cool

[Jeanette in FL]

16. Excellent, thanks for sharing, same here in Palatka Florida

We are a very "red" town and though our protest was small, it was covered in our daily newspaper. You know the tide is turning when little ole Palatka will support us "peaceniks"

24. Well it isn't as spectacular as your IMPEACH at the beach

but this is red state hell. :)

[BushLiesDaily]

22. Way to go K.C.!!!

Now quit trying to take my hockey team...

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. LOL I don't like hockey anyway

And I have a hard time believing there is much of a fan base here. But you should have seen the way they wined and dined the Penguins folks when they were here.

[BushLiesDaily]

26. Ah, but you would like this bunch,

led by Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal - a group of young guys having fun - they are a joy to watch...

Again, great job there in K.C....thanks for the pics...come on up to Pittsburgh and see the Penguins sometime...

27. For the good folks of KC---

KiCked. :thumbsup: :patriot: :thumbsup:
