Supporters rally for their presidential
candidates in Dallas
11/12/2000
By Kim Horner / The Dallas Morning News
On one side of Main Street, about 100 Gore campaign supporters
waved signs that said, "Keep counting" and "No fuzzy votes."
Across the street, about 50 pro-Bush campaign demonstrators carried
placards with messages such as: "Bush won, let's move on" and "Give it
up Gore."
Activists for Vice President Al Gore and counterprotesters for Gov.
George W. Bush peacefully chanted, sang and displayed signs for more
than two hours in the overcast weather Saturday afternoon near the John
F. Kennedy Memorial downtown.
Hundred of motorists joined in the demonstrations by honking or giving
thumbs-up. Tourists stopped to watch and snap photos.
Cliff Pearson didn't have to speak to get his point across. Like several
others at the event, he had red duct tape over his mouth.
"Americans' voices have been silenced by red tape," he explained, adding
that the Electoral College needs to be reformed. "The will of the people is
that Gore has won."
On the other side of Main Street, Becki Snow marched to a different
tune as she beat a makeshift drum.
"I want a presidency by election, not litigation," said Ms. Snow, who
organized the counterprotest. She said she and others were wearing
yellow ribbons around their arms because they "feel like our Constitution
is being held hostage."

Excellent piece, Mrs. Snow.
