National Guardsmen Like Impeach Bush/Cheney T-Shirts

Thanks to Dennis Serdel of Vietnam Veterans Against The War who sent this in this report on Labor Day:

HELLO PEACE LOVERS,

What a wonderful day we had on the south side of the Mighty Mac Bridge today.

Weather: PERFECT

Peace demonstrators: 12-20 at any given time.

Folks from Traverse City, Petoskey the U.P., Cheboygan, and near Gaylord attended.

I haven’t heard the “official” estimate of number of people crossing the bridge today, but it almost always is 30,000 or so.

There were peace folks in place for the first persons to cross the bridge, which included the Governor’s group.

My sister and I walked the bridge and were about ten minutes behind the governor.

Okay now for the “notes” I’ve put together for the response we received.

As expected many people show no reaction at such things. There were however, hundreds, maybe thousands who gave thumbs up, peace signs, applauded us, said “wooo”, and others thanked us.

Some specific comments included: from a little old gal about 4 feet tall, about 70 years old; she said to me...”IMPEACH BUSH, TORTURE CHENEY”.

Several of the National Guard whispered as we crossed the bridge, “I like your shirt and the message” to my sister (we were both wearing Impeach Bush/cheney T-shirts).
