Peace-In Charlotte North Carolina
I have agreed under protest to do today's action in front of the Republican Congresswoman Sue Wyrick’s Office. Again, folks seem to be wanting to be protective of the Democrats. We are so battered and disappointed in these folks that represent us that we are so grateful for the smallest things – when this is the time to demand the MOST, not settle for the LEAST.
But every chapter in her own time! We had an AWESOME protest today, on a very busy road in between the Macy’s shopping center and the business park that housed the Congresswoman’s Office.
About 6 CodePINK wimmin and a couple of hubbies showed up in hot pink force to stand on several corners, holding banners, putting out the WITS & Real Face of War displays.
Two TV stations sent camera men, one getting there the same time I drove up and staying thru to the very end; the other coming a little after we set up and staying also till the end. They both came with us into the Congresswoman’s Office.
The Charlotte CodePINKers had purchased a card for Sue, imploring her to read and sponsor the new resolution that Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, and Lynn Woolsey have put before Congress. Amazing Maggie also printed out the resolution and it’s arguments and presented it with the card.
All the CodePINK wimmin were outspoken, composed, compassionate, and so very inspiring to stand with and be a part of. Many of them are coming to D.C.
The BEST thing was after this action at Myrick's office, the wimmin decided to go to the Democrat Congressman and find out if he will also sponsor Barbara Lee's resolution. Everyone agreed we MUST hold the Democrats - and those Republicans who are now coming out against war - accountable.
No longer will we be satisfied with the right words: the actions must follow!
AND another best thing, one of the fellows said that just last nite the Charlotte peace activists decided to rent a bus and head to D.C.!~!~! He said until last nite, there wasn’t enough support to do it.
He also said that the bus company is giving them a huge break – so many are doing whatever they can to be part of our Hot PINK Peace Surge to D.C.
So SERIOUSLY consider coming to Washington -= we have the house until the 20th of February and we NEED you there.
