Sisters protest high gas prices



Mom had to cancel cable to pay for commute

By Katie Drake / Salt Lake Tribune

When a daily dose of Hannah Montana became impossible, the Vance sisters knew it was time to take to the streets.

Sadie, 9, and her sister Pyper, 7, marched around downtown Salt Lake City chanting, "Lower the gas prices," while carrying homemade signs. The sisters decided to protest after losing their favorite cable TV shows when their mother, Michelle, had to sacrifice cable TV to pay for her daily commute.

"Gas prices are too high," Sadie said. "I just decided to come and protest so they'd go down."

3. Glad they don't have cable anymore
Instead of sitting inside watching dumb ass television programs, they're out in the fresh air, getting some sun and exercise, and being social.

;)

Seriously though, everyone should ditch cable/satellite/etc. You won't miss it after a month or two.
