check out these people who can take a week off work to drive over here from Littleton, Colorado. Who knows what they're expecting to find.

It really suggests a mindset of being so angry over the cognitive dissonance of realizing that the antiwar people were correct in their 2003 predictions, while they have family members who had to join the army and go over there, or they just chose to be emotionally committed to the fake stories about weapons of mass destruction or that we needed to defend the U.S. from invading Iraqi forces.
They want to believe a simple story, that there actually are cartoon liberals who spit on people who had to join the military. It's much easier and emotionally satisfying to believe this than to realize that Bush and other leadership just sacrificed thousands of people for nothing.
Several people said they're going downtown wearing normal clothes to hold conversations with those people. I hope it doesn't turn insane. In my family, we have two marines (or one marine, and one ex-marine volunteer security guard for the embassy). It's hard to hear their stories, but they think the deployments are too long

Please take care as these folks coming via caravan from Littleton may be packing weapons. Easy to obtain them in the home of the Columbine Massacre of a few years ago.
That thought occurred to me as well, that they might be Colorado 'Concealed carry' permit holders. On their forum, they were discussing getting hotel rooms in Salinas/Hollister (be my guest!), and identifying overpasses to wave signs from.
Hopefully they don't get too frustrated if they don't get the emotional satisfaction they wanted during the first hours. Has anyone else noticed that Berkeley High school, with student body of 3000, borders that park, and they have an open-campus during lunch due to an adequate cafeteria? How could they not be curious about the Westboro people and the other commotion across the street.
I just think everyone should bring a video camera to film any of them ripping signs out of Code Pink's hands (as they did at earlier rallies). We can't rely on CNN covering all corners of the park.

Hi,
Thanks so much for this alert re Berkeley 24 hour peace vigil starting tonight Monday 7pm. One quibble--ENOUGH SUPPORTIVE EMAILS--The most progressive member of the Berkeley City Council, Dona Spring (Green Party elected official who has served the longest in office), said they are very grateful for the emailed support but it is overwhelming their system and impeding their work, so no more please. Dona has been extremely supportive of our Marine Recruiting protests so I request that we respect her request.
They each received more than 1600 appreciative emails. Thank you! Constituents who wish to contact are better off phoning or faxxing to avoid being lost in the email deluge. Petitions with multiple signatures may be faxxed, delivered in person, or emailed.
The Mayor's office has 1200 emails in his inbox this morning, and the phone is constantly ringing. His assistant said they are so appreciative of all the support, and that at this point it would be better to receive one email or fax with 100 names on it instead of multiple emails.
See you tonight or tomorrow. Best way to support is to BE a powerfully PEACEFUL presence tonight thru tomorrow, resolove not to be provoked.
Paz,
PhoeBe of Berkeley
Agressive right wingers plan to be at Marine station today, Monday. Pehaps avoid that side of the block today unless you are powerfully PEACEFUL and will not be provoked. We need your calm and mindful passion at City Hall tonight thru tomorrow. Can't miss Maudelle Shirek City Hall because of her distinctive spire.

I hope this will be peaceful. It's the war mongering wing nuts, especially from out of state we need to be careful of. After all, they have shown their allegiance to the murdering neocon imperialists. The caller of the dark side, KSFO has demonstrated themselves to be racist fascist sympathizers. Anyone who is defending killing innocent civilians for their oil and still defending the GOp is obviosly a couple beers short of a six pack.
Power to the peaceful. Out with the predators. Impeach and imprison.
