Weekly Peace Vigils are held every Friday, rain or shine, in Akron at the corner of Market and Main Streets from 4:00 to 5:00 pm
Every Sunday - “ENOUGH” protest from Noon-1 PM at E.9th and Lakeside, Cleveland
From: Susan Meara mearas@wowway.com
Hi friends,
Once again, Kathy Hazelton and I and our husbands (we who have sons in the military) will be heading up this Sunday's ENOUGH protest from noon till 1 pm at E.9th and Lakeside Downtown (near the FREE stamp). This is a PERSISTENT (not one shot) grassroots (not sponsored by any organization) effort to awaken Mr. and Mrs. Ordinary American to the fact that there's trouble in paradise and that citizen action is required. We simply stand with our signs that Say ENOUGH (or IMPEACH) to give visibility to what so many people are thinking but can't figure out what to do about it.
There is a good amount of traffic at that corner on Sundays because of visitors to the Rock Hall and Great Lakes Science Center, and reactions are mostly positive. You can park for free at the meters nearby on E.9th or on Lakeside going east. It does your heart good to express yourself among likeminded people for just an hour a week. Bring your signs and join us!
Be sure to visit USLaborAgainstTheWar.org and view our coverage of their convention. See Cindy Sheehan, Dennis Kucinich and others speak out against the Iraq war.
The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied our jury demand for a trial against the City of Akron and Time Warner cable. The Akron/Canton area is currently the only area in the country that charges a fee for the public to use the mandated PEG channel. Producers across the nation have been closely watching this case. Hopefully it will not set a precent for Time Warner in other cities.
