1. Good!!

Public protest is genuinely important work. I'm saying that not just because I protest too, but because I've seen the effect that it has on one's community. People are changed because they saw you out there. You're teaching a lesson that no one else will give to them.

Thank You greenbriar!

2. I had a blast

and had I not been playing hookey from work, I would have been on the news...but I had to kind of stay hidden

3. Our weekly Sunday demonstrations always cheer me up.

There are very few ugly responses anymore. People like us and honk and wave; some even cheer as they drive by. I stopped going to church a long time ago and tell people I belong to the Church of the Streets now.

4. thanks for the rec

I definately will do it again

[patrice]

7. P.S. I Love! your sign!

Be the People's Media.

Keep it short, but stimulate their thinking. Street corners with traffic lights work best for getting people to actually read your sign. Foam core board is stiff enough to stand up and doesn't need a stick to hold. Try to give voice to the People's latent thoughts. Thoughts work better than personal insults to build "readership" and, hence, ***Community***.

My next sign is going to say: "War is Social Abortion." - on one side - and "Pro War + Pro Life = A Lie" - on the other side. What do you think?

5. Protestors OR patriots?

What a nasty piece of work that reporter is.

6. I hope you had fun!

[live love laugh]

8. "Our president"...."200 supporters"...

no mention of the number of protestors. Fucking bullshit.

11. Eggs to the reporter!

[greenbriar]

18. she was young had on spike high heels walking in the ground

and holding her back.


she came up to me and wanted me to talk, but as I said earlier, I kind of needed to lay low

[senseandsensibility]

9. Even CNN has stopped using that nauseating "our President"

every time they refer to chimp. I haven't heard it in years, and boy did my ears burn! That said, good on you for protesting.

10. Woot protesters!

[Nikki Stone1]

12. And poor women's blood too. There are over 7000 mothers (not counting other female soldiers)

in Iraq serving.

And of course all the dead Iraqi women, those raped in prisons like Abu Ghraib.

War is always lousy for women.

[greenbriar]

13. well, I didn't have room

and wanted to keep it simple for the chimp who can't read much ya know

[Nikki Stone1]

15. Not slamming ya. Just pointing out what often gets forgotten

:hi:

[Vidar]

14. Well done.
