MAY 5th ANTI-WAR PROTESTS
PLANNED ON SERIES OF I-205/CLACKAMAS OVERPASSES
Well, there we were, "Shivering in the rain again", yesterday at our
anti-war protest on Sunnyside Road at I-205. We had our family of
four on one side of the overpass with 'BRING THEM HOME", "END THE
WAR', AND "HONK TO END THE WAR". On the other side of the overpass
was about 5 from the PDX911TRUTH group, with their '9/11 WAS AN INSIDE
JOB"; "BUSH LIED", AND "GOOGLE WTC7". It was very effective to have
one side focused on one message for each of our groups.
There weren't alot of us out there. But, the reactions from passersby
was very reactive -- lots of honking with thumbs up and peace -- and
lots of "the bird". A wadded up bag was thrown at David's back.
But by far, we usually get 10 to 1 honks in favor of our protest.
But, we need more folks out there with us -- on a regular basis. It
is only one hour a week. Would you please commit to being there with
us? Bring family and friends. Bribe them with a treat afterwards!
It's a great way to release pent up stress about the war. You feel
great after doing it. Plus, you meet new friends! Shivering in the
rain is nothing compared to what our troops are doing in Iraq. We do
this in our support for them, to get them home!
But, on May 5th, we are going to need an extra lot of people. We're
planning to do several overpasses in a row -- BAM! BAM! BAM! with
giant "SUPPORT THE TROOPS - BRING THEM HOME!" and 'UNJUST WAR IS
MURDER', 'IMPEACH BUSH!" etc. -- our message will not be ignored
this way. So come out to one of these protest sites along I-205, near
Clackamas, on Saturday, May 5th at 1pm-2pm. Bring large signs. You
can print out super large letters on a 8-1/2 x 11" paper (one letter
per page), cut them out and paste to a white or black painted
cardboard. Then, seal it with a sprayed or brushed on lacquer. Or
paint huge letters onto a large sheet and drape over the fence (not
over traffic, though). Remember not to obstruct vehicle or pedestrian
traffic in any way.
