Tonight I brought cookies to War Protesters in Rochester NH...
...Just a small group standing on a street corner downtown...I'd seen them a few times before but just passed by beeping my horn and waving. So while I was shopping for my new business I bought some cookies for people I admire. Turns out they protest EVERY Friday from 5:30 till 6:30 and have done so for FOUR YEARS....I feel so inadequate to the sacrifice made so long before I saw them there...tonight just 8 people but dedicated as I should have been years ago....So I hope to join them soon...it only takes 8 people in a small city to make a point...

1. We do this where I am too
Some Saturdays when we don't go to D.C. (we're 30 miles away). A busy intersection, some well painted signs and its all you need.

There is a retired teacher in my county who does this 2 sometimes 3 times a week.

3. We do the same in Tiburon.
We have even had the Town's "Random Horn Honking" ordinance overturned.

It is so cool to see a bunch of wealthy people out raising Cain against Bush's War.
