Reply #4: Diane says what you say. We each do what we can when we can.

There are many of us that can't afford to be arrested for many different reasons. So we help in other ways doing what we can and there are lots of different needs to be met.

That said....

When I read the account of Diane's sentence I was outraged. Diane is very frail and her "punishment" was cruel and extreme The thought of "our" Diane having to spend eight hours on the streets of DC in freezing weather, dragging a garbage pail, picking up trash off the streets, renders me speechless and quite honestly sends me to my knees in tears. I wish I could have been there helping her. The judge deserves admonition, IMVHO, along with loads of public criticism and condemnation. Diane arrived in DC just in time to take part in Saturday's march straight off of a flight from a trip to Chiapas.

I'm hoping the group I'm involved with will write some formal letter of condemnation, she was named the Dallas Peace Center Peacemaker of the Year for 2006. Cindy Sheehan was honored by the Dallas Peace Center for her work in 2005. www.dallaspeacecenter.org
