Thought I'd try sharing a picture I took at Saturday's protest.

"protest"

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Wed, 01/31/2007 - 12:34am.

I think it's interesting to note that this looks less like a protest than a festival, or just a day in the park. Although it was a protest, it was very mild mannered, and friendly. There were definitely over 1,000 people there, by my very rough estimation - and possibly as many as 1,500 (or more?)

Regardless, it was an awesome turn-out, and an awesome event. I hope that we have more like it soon, because I think it really helps to broadcast the large amount of dissent toward the war and the general direction that America is heading (in regard to imperialism.)

Beautiful. I think you

Beautiful. I think you should have this made into postcards.

Really captures the spirit of our town, imho.
