Mother' Day Action

WE HAD A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY ACTION THIS PAST SUNDAY. ABOUT 16 OF US CAME OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN "STANDING WOMEN FOR PEACE". WE WERE STANDING OFF OF BROWNSBORO RD IN THE CONSERVATIVE EAST SIDE, AND WE GOT LOTS OF HONKS AND PEACE SIGNS! IT WAS GREAT TO MEET NEW, LOCAL CODEPINKERS! ALSO, A SHOUT OUT TO THE KIDS FROM LEXINGTON AND ASSUMPTION: POWER TO THE PEACEFUL!!!!

Churchill Downs Veto Rally in Louisville

Rally near Churchill downs on may 2 after Bush's War Funding Bill veto. Most of the Peace Activists were opposed to the veto, but my sign expressed the viewpoint that the veto is actually a good one. It vetoes a bad weak bill that continues funding for the war with no true or enforcable deadlines for withdrawal. Although mainstream press and the Democrats portray the bill as a "withdrawal bill," it perpetuates the ongoing occupation of Iraq and was opposed by people of conscience like Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee and several others who refuse to give in to Bush's folly.
With the proximity to Churchill Downs racetrack and the upcoming Kentucky Derby, the traffic included many folks with suits and fancy clothes, as well as a number of working-class people. Although many people were apathetic to our action, peace signs outnumbered middle fingers ten to one, and we even got a peace sign (discreetly) from a passing police officer.

Freeway Blogging on April 28th, IMPEACH !!

On the railroad overpass passing over I-64....Friday night.

The signs were down the next afternoon. Two of the three were completely gone (bungee cords and all) but one was still there (complete with bungees), so we re-attached it (of course!).

Peace and Impeach...
