One quick pic from the protest

Took this on my cellphone. Shame George wasn't in, but here's the DU crew right outside the White House. It was damn noisy down there :)

Love the banner, Earl!

Thanks DUers! :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

:loveya:

thanks!

:woohoo:

Started off with at least 50 DUers, but we got kinda separated as we marched. I actually skipped out a bit early, around three-quarters of the way through, because there was a long wait at the start and my back decided to seize up. But it was great being there and meeting everyone (some for the first time, some I'd met before). That's LynneSin's banner by the way :)

:hi: :thumbsup:

It's a leftover from the March for Choice protest we did back in April 2004 (it's the colors that were used for the Suffergette movement).

So if someone ever needs to use it for a major protest go for it. I just hated to not see it used again ever.

BTW, I was somewhere in that crowd near the banner (TokenLib was carrying it at the time and Tavalon was also helping with duties). It was the most powerful amazing site to see all of us cramming into that gate chanting "Liar Liar Liar Liar" Fricking goosebumps up and down my spine.

Thanks to everyone for turning out. The only reason stuff like this is a success is because all of you show up and are a part of it.

:yourock:

Makes me feel like I was part of the march, even though I could not be there in person. :patriot::applause:

Anyone there I know? Just kidding, well, maybe I do know them. Names please and Thanks.

I'd probably better not name names because I don't want to leave anyone out. But I'm sure someone will have a full rollcall later.

Katinmn, Ragin Acadian, lonestarnot & her son , Distressed American and his sister - goes there were so many there. I met folks and can't remember half of who all was there. Pura's mom and son.

Heaps o' DUers!!

from your phone. Just wondering, I have a camera phone and keep trying to Email myself the pics I've taken on it but I just keep getting an error that it won't send. Do you know anything about that?

:thumbsup: Way to go DUers.

Brought my husband and my eight year old daughter. She was a little overwhelmed by how many people were there. We didn't see any for war protesters there, though. Kind of expected we would since the news last night ran the obligatory redneck dad saying the anti-war protesters were dissing his dead son and he planned to be there today. I guess they'll show up tomorrow. It was very heartening to see so many people anti-war. I kinda forget, living in a red state, how many of us there really are.

Damn good show, DUers!

I tried to enhance the colour in your photograph, because cellphone photos aren't that great in that regard. Hope you don't mind:

Thanks all who marched - thanks for representing us so well! :grouphug:

:toast:


Peace!

six pack of these...

It was a zoo by the White House, with the Vets banner, the amazing dove puppets, drum circles and more. I would have loved to hook up with some Duers.

A great day though, perhaps a bit subdued until the march started. Bread and Puppet was awesome.

it was quite an joy to protest in front of the White House. for more images of the protest check this out.

I heard there was a DU sign.

I was there, I helped carry the DU Spirit poster!!!

What an amazing experience!!!!!!!!! And yes, we made sure that those of you who signed up to be there with us in spirit, MARCHED. AND, I'm hoping all those names made it to the final "count" too :)

What a great day :patriot: :grouphug: :patriot:

like-minded, intelligent, & fun people. You guys are great, and thank you for making me feel welcome, & a part of you.
