The tide is turning, here's how I know
Advertisements [?]
I was interviewed on a local news station on Saturday at an Iraq war protest. Here in the belly of the beast - Houston. The snip they showed of me was my best quote from the interview. They did not for a moment try to spin us as crazies.

But the real proof came today. I was at my part-time job in a heavily Republican area for the first time since Saturday. Several customers said they'd seen me and they were ALL supportive. One told me her dad was career military and he wouldn't let her brothers join the military. Two others whispered to me how awful the war is. NOT ONE CUSTOMER SAID THEY SUPPORT THE WAR. I'm not supposed to talk politics at work, but today was my last day before taking a leave (of my own choosing), so I felt a little more free to talk. I talked about my activism with customers that had had no idea and they were all supportive.

Folks, there is hope. No one likes the way this country is being run. We can and will take it back!
