| An anti-war rally right here in Fairfield? Who would have thunk it? I am hoping to be there on Sunday with others to protest a senseless war which is my generation's Vietnam. Yes, you heard me correctly: Iraq is my generation's Vietnam.
It's been only 40 years since 1968 when our troops were over in Vietnam, and anti-war rallies took place across our country. I don't know what to anticipate in terms of the atmosphere on Sunday, as when I was telling my mom about the rally, the only thing she said to me was "don't get arrested!" Oh PLEASE! I'm sure Sunday's rally will be peaceful and civil w/ a bit of loudness but nothing to effect of 40 years ago (I think that's what my mom was thinking about) when things were a lot crazier.
Other than a candlelight vigil that I attended last year sponsored a local MoveOn.org group here in town, this will be my very first anti-war rally.
I am very pleased to say that in Friday's Fairfield Citizen-News, there was a mention of the rally right below the announcement of McCain's visit to SHU! How cool is that? I am hoping that the CT Post and other local papers will be there to get coverage and photos.....
That's it for now....I will make another post about this after the rally itself...in the meantime, peace, love, and a Dem in the White House for '08! |
