Hey, folks. Having just returned from D.C. I think things went well. Not quite up to the Moritorium standards, but a start. The music was real good with old folkie, Michelle Shocked and new comer, Jim page headlining and speakers Damu Smith (Black Voices of Peace) and Mendea Benjamin (Global Exchange) holding down the fort very well with their wonderful speeches.The march on Dick Cheney's house was spirited with chanys of "This is waht Democracy Looks Like" and "No War for Oil" ringing thru the crowd. The numbers were much samller than the London demonstration (Perhaps 15,000 to 20,000) but it was a start, in a country that George Bush and his buddies have allready put into play some things that look very much like the McCarthy days of witch hunting.
There will be another major demonstration in Central Park in New York City on October 6th anf then again back in D.C on October 12th. If Catters acn get to these events, please try to do so. Bring your voices and instruments. There were plenty of folks with their instruments today and music is an important force in our struggle...
Peace thru resistence.
