Our Saturday Protesters in Arvada...
Every Saturday a group of about a dozen people of all ages comes to the corner of Wadsworth and 52nd St. in Arvada, CO and peacefully hold up signs saying Bring Home Our Troops, Bush Lied, etc. I was just sitting at that intersection and I didn't see any harrassment or complaints but heard a bunch of horns honking in support. It's a beautiful sight.

I know I know. I should be up there standing in support and I probably will at one point or another. I just wanted to give them kudos for what they do. They are true patriots.

Here's a link I found about the protests. I couldn't find any pictures but will keep trying.

1. The people who hold the signs Love the honkers.
The honkers are an important part of what the sign holders are doing.

3. I give them horn support...
and the obligatory peace sign or clenched fist and a wave. If I can't stand with them I do my best to give them validation.

2. We need to publicize the work being done by the brave protesters.
Considering the tulameria or whatever biological gas/agent that bushco let go as a warning shot in the last major protest and the visits by the FBI to legitimate protesters and the NSA spying on Quakers and other protesters, we need to honor those citizens who are standing up and support them by letting as many people on the blogosphere know about their stand.

Just because the MSM ignores them doesn't mean the liberal internet should.
