People were protesting so many different topics that the message can get mixed up. All in all it was a great day in DC. I saw no arrests or no violence and pretty much a very tame and respectful crowd of Americans. Jarod,

Good job getting down there and stirring things up. One comment: I disagree with the use of all those peace signs, here is why: It makes it look like it's not our protest, but a protest trying to recall the glory days of hippy protests. I think this protest needs it's own, unique symbol. Something that people can unite under and show that it is a strong enough movement to warrant such a thing. In addition, the use of the 60's peace sign might say to swing voters that the movement is just a bunch of ex-hippies and phish fans, which clearly it is not. This is just a small detail, of course, really not that big of a deal. At any rate, great job with the protest! I saw a lot of coverage. Those are some great photos.
