If they are so opposed to a peace movement, they should be in Iraq.

Code Pink- Human IEDs The depth is amazing. Truly amazing.

[madokie]

50. You done good yet one more time. Some people have it, some people just

have, you got it. Thanks for the pic's Ava, but mostly for speaking for me. I will say it, you, my friend have a most wonderful future ahead of you because you can and do make a difference. we're all created as equals but its what you do after that, that matters. And the best part is you look so happy in helping to save our country from a tyrant. As I have said before, only look back to reflect on where it is you have been, not where you are going. heres a ^5 for you, (high five.)


peace be with you where ever your travels take you.

[nicknameless]

51. Wonderful pics!

Keep up the good work!
I met Cindy in September in DC. Were you there also?

[Imalittleteapot]

55. You have brought that great day in DC to Texas.

I wanted to be there! The photos are wonderful. Can't wait for your speech. Your Mom must be very proud as all of us here are.
:hug: :loveya: :yourock:

[earth mom]

56. Awesome Pics! Thanks for posting! : ) eom

[Chimichurri]

57. Jeez, the right wingers have such offensive signs - if they

oppose the anti-war Mom's why not put on a compelling message rather then "I nailed Joe Wilson's Wife". How does that help their cause?

Anywayz,
Great job, Ava!! The pictures are top notch :patriot:

[durrrty libby]

58. “Jeez, the right wingers have such offensive signs”

Actually, I think it is great that they have no shame and put their crap, right out there for the entire world to see.

It clearly shows the world how ignorant and shallow they are.

[Chimichurri]

59. so true.

[mdmc]

60. thanks for the pics!
