I want to say thank you, from deep in my heart, it does so much good from here in DC. There are so many black-hearted Republicans and pessimists and people who will just ignore politics and the world around them. I often feel very alone, save my lifeline, Cindy. Because it was her that brought my attention to this. My political marching buddy. Who hooked me up with helderheid. Being a beginner in computers I had no idea of the overwhelming attention and support that this day involved until after I came home. So great to work with people who are willing to work for nothing except the better of humankind. And a woman who speaks the voice that is not commonly heard today in America, but greatly felt.

That was enough to make me feel good. To see and read all these wonderful responses. And that so many people cared enough to take care of a parking ticket. That alone, was enough to move me to tears.

As Ghandi said, "Good will prevail in the end."

The sign reads, "Wisdom not War", to all of those who read this here, you have a welcome sign, If you see the sign, know you have a friend.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And thank you for letting me be a part of this.

Look forward to celebrating with you all when this damn war is over and our and troops are home.

Rainer

She signed our anti-war sign (Wisdom Not War - we carry that at all the anti-war protests we go to) and wrote this on the sign:
