DC Candle Light Vigil

I just got back from the Cindy Sheehan Candle Light vigil at the White House. It was held on the new marble street between the park and the Whitehouse fence.

I estimate that there about 1000 people there. In front of the White House they stood thirty to forty deep and extended width of the White House. The crowd then curled around to the other side of the string to form a big ring.

To the left the Freepers were demonstrating. They had a big banner set up and it appeared that 14 people were present. People were counting, some counted 12 and some counted 14. Someone was walking in front of the Freepers with a “Draft the Bush Twins” sign.

I was really impressed with the crowd. Not a nose ring or a tattoo to be seen. They were almost 100% middle class types. All were well dressed and everyone I spoke to seemed educated and articulate. It was about 50% people over 40 and about 50% college kids. A lot of people brought their children.

It was very quiet, almost like it is at the base of the Viet Nam memorial. Everyone held candles and Zipporah's “I stand with Cindy” signs. I had run off hundreds of the signs a couple of days before and left them with people to pass out. The people sang the old '60s protest songs like We Shall Overcome and Amazing Grace.

I've been to a lot of protests, both in the present day and in the 1960s. This was one of the most dignified and well done I have ever seen. Judging from the quality of the crowd, I think Bush is in trouble.

Way to go CM. I'm glad 4 was represented. I have to get down there - hopefully this is the beginning of a nationwide movement.

The Freepers were absolutely vicious. People couldn't even walk in front of them without being called out. They were so mad they were hissing and spitting when they spoke. Most were in their late twenties or early thirties and all seemed to be fat and creepy looking.

I bet the big protest planned for September 24th will be a huge success. I was told the Sheehan will speak there.

I was thinking we should maybe reserve a suite at one of the residence Inns. Everyone who wanted to come could bring a sleeping bag and stay there. People could cook in the kitchen. There are also really nice campgrounds up on the Patomic near Seneca along River Road. People could stay there and then car pool in. You might cross over to Leesburg and drive down to West Falls Church and then metro in to the mall.
