More fun facts about Angelwood:
When Angelwood read MrConfettiMans thread (I was there, where were you?), she wanted to go, but there had just been a confrontation in Philadelphia: Freepers, including Physicist, had been hit by union goons while lawfully protesting Clinton.
Angelwood decided to go anyway. She was tired of yelling at the television, "That's not true!", and she was tired of the Clintons. She was worried about being arrested, she had never done anything like this in her life (coming from a good Cincinnati Republican family), but off she went.
For everyone here, there's that moment, isn't here?, when you realize: wait a minute, I can still be a conservative and an activist, there's nothing culturally "left" about activism.
At the early White House Freeps she met Marylander, Patriot, Kristinn, MrConfettiMan, and others - every other weekend and then every weekend. They received no major press but they went anyway: to speak as activists directly to then-President Clinton -- to "Freep the Creep." She got started for all the right reasons. Not fame, not glory, just doing the Right thing.
