7. UM.......Excuse Me.....The peace movement has held protests
Edited on Mon Mar-14-05 01:58 PM by KoKo01
all over the country in small vigils every week, in towns and cities all over the US. The large groups like United for Peace and A.N.S.W.E.R. held protests before and after the war began in major cities in the US where thousands marched in protest.

Our Democratic Party didn't want to listen to us. Few speakers from the Congress came to these protests and vigils. Everyone wanted to distance themselves from the Peace Movement including Kerry and Edwards.

I can't believe Nader is saying this. Because CNN/MSNBC/FOX and our local network affiliates refuse to cover or give minimal cover to all the groups still protesting is not the "Peace Movement's" fault but Naders for not being aware of us.

This really annoys the hell out of me...:-( Didn't see Nader running around the country supporting us last year or before the Invasion started when so many of us were standing out on street corners with signs being given "the finger" by loudmouths who also yelled "Get a Job." Maybe I missed Nader's huge involvement in this...:eyes:
