I had to share what happened to a new young protestor today

[TexasLady]

My son has a really wonderful couple of friends, newlyweds...Love that wife, I do! Well, he tells me that today He was talking to the wife, and that they were discussing anything from protests to anarchy and its definitions, and on and on...He says to her"The only problem is that we bitch and never DO anything about it!" Well apparently she decided to DO something today!

So son tells me, "Mom. guess what so and so did today?" what?, I ask."Well, she decided to make a sign that said Impeach Bush, and on the other side had the number of dead soldiers in Iraq. She went to a VERY busy street in our town...at XXXX street." The bad news is that a carload of GI's( we live near a base) stopped, Cussed her out, grabbed her sign, and tore it up. She was alone. Shes MAYBE 110 pounds soaking wet. She cried when they did this..." "Well," I ask, "what's the good news?" "Well," son says, "A really nice old lady came up to her and told her 'dont you worry darlin, some people are just RUDE', and some nice guy who witnessed it said not to worry.." THEN, he said, HEY screw Them!!You tape that sign back up and dont you back down! So she stayed alongside the man.... said that she was very surprised at the plethora of different responses she got. She's a very emotional type o gal anyway, and there's no 'gray' about her. I havent had a chance to talk to her, told my son "I wish you, or me, or her H would have been with her, because I doubt these dumb jerks would have pulled that shit"(son is 6 feet 200 pounds)....I plan on joining her the next time she decides to do this sort of thing. It was one of the bravest things Ive heard anyone ever do. I admire her sooo much!!!

Sooo, Im applauding her right here and now, because in this small town where lots of people still worship that thug, I have to say how proud I am of her! Darlin, if you read this, Just know that I wish I could have been there! And I WILL be next time! You courageous girl you!
