San Francisco Peace March
(From the UP! 135, www.parallel-youniversity.com, October 30, 2002)
We had a peace march in SF on Sat. with over 80,000 people, and in Washington there were over 100,000. Spirits were high, intent on building movement and stopping war before it starts. . . . A call for Barbara Leeto run for president in 2004 came spontaneously from the crowd. She was the sole Congressperson to vote against first War Resolution against Afghanistan. . . . Ron Kovic, paraplegic vet of Vietnam War who wrote Born on the Fourth of July and about whom the Oliver Stone movie was made, gave a passionate speech calling this the most critical moment in world history. . . . Mike Farrell, the actor who played in Mash TV sitcom, added the concept of No Empire. . . . There was much mourning for Senator Paul Wellstone andquiet whispers of possible assassination.
Some signs included REGIME CHANGE HERE AT HOME and THE REAL AXIS OF EVIL - BUSH CHENEY, RUMSFELD AND ASHCROFT and NO WAR FOR OIL. . . . It was a thrilling and inspiring start of Resistance.
