Quotations

“My protest was really and truly one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I didn't do much, just stood in silence, but it was excruciatingly difficult to stand up to authority like that. Next time will be easier. . . I think everyone should be protesting until we get all of the soldiers home, all of them." (Times-Argus, Nov. 23, 2006; photo mwcnews)
