It was a very spirited and vocal demonstration of the public disgust with the ongoing slaughter in Iraq. Car horns were blaring in approval of the action almost non-stop for two hours. Pics on the flip.... Unfortunately, the local corporate mediawhores deigned not to show up to cover the event even though they received multiple press releases in advance (Tally democrat, TV and radio stations). The only local "press" to show was a photographer from FSU's View. A TV camera crew from Channel 7 (Panama City?) also made an appearance across the street to record the raucous goings-on.

Totally great event
I was so nice to see a bunch of new faces (surely old activists). There were a bunch of differenct groups and ideas. Carol did an awesome job organizing. Cactus Pat and Mary brought a table which really pulled everyone together to sign up a chat. Dave and I are so glad to have such a great group to protest this stupid ass war with. Peace
