Down the line is my brother (Jimmy Valentine's Brother) dressed in a Santa suit and an Al Gore mask painted green. His sign said something the "Gorinch" will not steal this election.
I am closer in, waiving a "Sore Loserman" sign.
Heady days!
But re that day on Mass Ave, am particularly remembering the lady, who owned one of the houses we were congregated in front of, bring out hot chocolate for all and sundry.
It was a welcome treat on a blustery day, as much for its obvious moral support as for the warmth of the cocoa !
I've sinced relocated far enough north in PA that getting to DC at $4/gal has become mostly prohibitive.
Oh but what good memories those are .. when what we were up in arms against at the time seems like such small potatoes compared to today's flat out Looter takeover.
I'd love to know if enough younger people have joined up in the interim to pick up the flag from us aging warriors as the battle continues into the years ahead . . .
Abner and I made 50 or more of those Sore/Loserman signs in the signshop and handed them out to the crowd on Massachusetts Ave. Remember the “Get Out of Cheney’s House” chant? That day there were 300-400 of us and 20 on the other side of the street. CNN reported it was about 50 on each side.....
These may be the sign and Santa suit you mentioned above ?
Apologies for the crappy quality .. digicams in the sub $1k price range back then were still tryin' to get it figured out.
