A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION

Sit Down for Change -- Stand Up for Peace, Day 2

Technically George was not up for re-election today, but realistically, he lost big time! This election was a referendum on his war of terror and his war lost. Time to change your course, George....

Yesterday, in the pouring rain, we read the names of the 2835 killed soldiers in Iraq from a bull-horn that was pointed at the White House. We were calling them out loud and clear for George to hear the names of the people that he has killed in his war of terror.

Last night, I was so gratified that Americans had seemingly gone out in record numbers to vote for change. Our young heroes have been honored and our soldiers who are sacrificing and the people of Iraq have a measure of hope that the immoral occupation is closer to ending.
