3. I was there with my wife and son
We heard Cindy Sheehan speak and marched - it was a good day for it.

Cindy publicly announced she was not going to pay her federal taxes and encouraged others to do the same. Her reasoning was of course to refuse to fund the war. I sympathize with the sentiment but unfortunately not paying taxes would affect not just the war (although I acknowledge a large majority of the money - to much - goes to defense) but good social and other programs as well. Also, it may very well get her and those that follow suit into a Lot of trouble. Though I suppose she's already demonstrated she will not shy away from that kind of trouble, she's got a lot of strength in her convictions.
