Reply #7: Tomorrow morning, volunteers are trying to have a procession of 72 coffins [View All]

(the cardboard, flag-draped kind) through the city of Lancaster, PA (which is pretty Democratic, though the county is decidedly NOT -- and there'll be lots of voters downtown for market day.

The coffins symbolize the 72 PA soldiers killed in Iraq (they were used in the "free-speech cornfield" outside Bush's Lancaster rally Wednesday -- one freeper kindly said to one of the anti-Bush protesters, "I hope it was YOUR son who died." real compassionate conservatives.).

There will be a Moveon rally, a Women/African-Americans/Latinos for Kerry vigil and lots of other events for these coffins to pass by. Even if they only get some of these coffins moving, it'll be spectacular and moving (and hopefully it'll wrench the hearts of a few undecideds).

The volunteers just decided about 24 hours ago they'd do this -- just like this lady probably made up this sign before she went to bed and got up determined to do something to call attention to this thoroughly evil administration.
