A year later it's time to march again. time to tell the Administration that we still don't think war is the answer. United for Peace and Justice has a calendar of all the actions taking place next weekend, scrolling through it gives heart to those of us who sometimes feel alone. we're not. the world is once again mobilizing to make voices of peace and reason heard everywhere. if there's a march, a rally, a demonstration, any kind of action anywhere near you please try to be a presence swelling the numbers.
as a displaced Texan i sometimes suffer from the bad rep my home state has politically. not all Texans are republicans, or oil magnates, or redneck dopes. as proof i offer you the info on the Crawford, Tx march next weekend. check it out. look at all the groups organizing and supporting it. then go visit the Crawford Peace House, a facility purchased and maintained by a couple of Peace centers, Dallas and Waco, as a way station for protesters and journalists needing a friendly safe space in shrub's "home" town.

Cool! Thank you for pointing out that all Texans don't carry a rifle, wear a cowboy hat, and chant, "Go Republicans!". LOL Unfortunately, I've found that type of Texan very common, especially in the small towns. But, nothing is 100%. :-)
Ditto to that! I'm almost embarrassed to tell people I'm from Texas because they automatically think "Bush Supporter." ~Holly
Donna, Holly, my fellow Texans - i salute you. we know the truth: Texas is a big state, there's every kind of Texan. i never saw so many anti-war, anti-bush signs as i did last summer in residential areas of Austin.
