"Court Day" by Cindy Sheehan
A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Cindy Sheehan

Today is the day that a portion of the 376 people who were arrested in front of the White House are going to court to fight our arrest.

Out of the 376, 125 have their appearance day today. The court (Scooter and Karl's court) is expecting about 60 to 70 people to come today to contest the arrest.

3. I was unsure of the context. Just got off a flamebait post about
Cindy. Civil disobedience is something Americans don't understand. I'm proud of her and all the others.

2. They won't get jail
Or much of a fine. Besides, paying the penalty is one of the things that people who get arrested when protesting are most proud about.
