A Peaceful Non Violent Demonstration with a message of "No More War Funding"
It happened this afternoon, and a small group from http://www.defundthewar.com/
was there to urge Sen. Smith to vote against all funding for the War in Iraq.
The letter was read to the Senators two reps who came down to get the petition signatures and (probably to diffuse any hoopla over any arrest at the Senators office Private-Property-Residence)
After delivering a petition list of citizens against funding this war, which was about as long as 1/2 of a basketball court, the two women tried to enter building lower lobby doors and were blocked by the nice security man and arrested by portland police, they were then walked two blocks to the Justice Center in handcuffs. I wish drivers-going-by knew what & who these brave peacemakers who looked like average cuffed criminals were and why they were walking handcuffed down the street.... to a jail cell of cold IRON and cement
...nice place for "peace makers" it 'hones their spirit.'
These Portland citizens are in jail tonight for simply promoting PEACE
By their actions they were doing one thing "They are - trying to end this war"
A congressman's office on "private property"?
Well how convenient!
There was no "Corporate Media"?
Well how convenient!
That is why I made sure I was there on my lunch hour with plenty of tape
As I filmed these dedicated people, I wonder what "each" and "every" one of us is doing for their part to "help end this war?"
Please ask yourself that question and take some action if your not already.
I am just trying to encourage not be bossy
Our officials need to see more people become active - let the world know - You don't have to get arrested but you do need to speak up LOUD and clear
"WE DON'T WANT WAR NO MORE"
There has to be the voices that say "STOP THE WAR - NOW!"
.......because without those voices what is left ....?
we need the voices...we need your voices!
we all NEED to rise up and say like we heard today ...
"NO MORE"
