I'm sure this will be one of many Iraq War Moratorium diaries throughout the day, and it certainly won't be the most eloquent or the most meaningful, but I thought I'd share our little statement with you and invite you to share your own plan with us.
kainah and I bought the foam board several weeks ago in anticipation. We'd done this 'decoration' of my front porch back in the fall of 2000 following the SCOTUS decision to hand the country over to George Walker Bush. Those signs came down after a few days, and on January 20, 2001 were replaced by black "mourning bows" tied around the columns, and those remained in place for the next 4 years.
I left the choice of message up to kainah and while I cooked dinner, she laid them out and began to color them in. Once they were finished we went outside to scope it out.
A few feet of string, a hammer and nails, some tape, and we were done. kainah perched in the front yard taking photos of the process and critiquing the operation ensured that I had them just so.
We're going to a candlelight vigil this evening. So, what's your plan for today?
