Mon Sep 5 2005 Many Make Noise in Support of Anti-War Message
symbolic flag-draped casket A rally in support of Cindy Sheehan drew over 300 people on the corner of Broadway and 16th in Sacramento on Saturday the 27th. This was the largest of the three rallies that were held in support Sheehan. Many of Sheehan’s supporters were holding signs that read, “America Stand with Cindy” and, “We all want answers.” As many protestors know sometimes the number of people is miniscule. But it was evident that from the beginning that Sheehan’s supporters drew an incessant amount of honking and peace signs from cars the entire evening. So even though the drivers weren’t standing on the corners, it was their honking and support that kept the momentum going. This also says that there are way more dissenters of war than just those standing on the corner.
