Yesterday NYC saw a demonstration that according to sources, streched 10 city blocks in the Big Apple.
To the right are some photos of the demonstration with people dressed up as members of the current administration as well as people carrying all sorts of neat flags and messages for our leaders...... notice Rev. Jesse Jackson and Cindy Sheenan in one of the photos.....
How cool it is that in this current state of turmoil here and abroad that we as citizens can still do these sorts of things to voice our displeasure at what our government is doing.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in the streets to call for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq – just hours after a soldier died in a roadside bombing in the country. April is the deadliest month for the troops this year.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan were among the many notables participating in the end-the-war rally. Actress Susan Sarandon, and the Rev. Al Sharpton also joined in the demonstrations, which city officials say stretched for about 10 city blocks.
I have to say I am proud of all of these people that came out to practice their rights to free speech and rights to assemble......Go NYC!!!
