Brrrrr !

We (FreetheHostages, Kristinn, our Loosianna friend and me) just finished leafleting the college basketball (Georgetown) game at the MCI Center. It was fun to watch the surprised looks on folks' faces when it finally registered that we were supporting the troops!

That made standing out in the cold tonight worth it. We handed out lots more handbills, and some of the folks asked for more to give their friends.

Now I'm going to have a cup of cocoa. Brrrrr....

Tomorrow, another hockey game at MCI Center, IIRC. And another idea for me and my friend to do during the day. Will report back tomorrow.

You guys are terrific! What a great idea!

Ain't that a fact. A couple of times people scowled at me and then did a double take when I repeated "SUPPORT our troops," and said "OH!! I thought . . . ." Stuff like that. They just assumed that anyone handing out leaflets in the city had to be a leftist. BTW, when I was left alone on duty outside one of the doors, this total leftist girl came up and used all this invective and indecent language. I didn't try to engage her but she stalked me for like 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure that she was with the Peace Movement. She had that violent, unwashed look about her. Whatever. She just blocked my access to a few people.

Cocoa well-earned, tgslTakoma -- and a tip of the Patriot's Tricorn to you and the troops! Remember the saying, 'For want of a nail, the Kingdom was lost?' The obverse of that is 'One act by one person can inspire and impassion a nation.' Thanks for the update!
