1. Highly recommended. These veterans have the character & spirit that should

make our leaders proud. Instead, these veterans, who were peacefully protesting wars a lot of them fought in & believe to be wrong, were arrested. HUGE FAIL.

2. Thank you! Some of the people arrested today are

people I know and love dearly. I am very proud to call them my friends!

7. It's particularly upsetting to know these peaceful veterans were arrested when

the media has saturated viewers with coverage of teabaggers' protesting, with no arrests. It's hard to think of a worse example of vile intentions of protest than the teabaggers' twisted thinking, except for the...

Westboro Baptist Church protesting military funerals! They're never arrested, either, despite the fact that their plans to protest are publicized beforehand.

Unbelievable.

9. It's just shameful that people protesting an illegal and

immoral war get arrested and nobody talks about it while the Phelps gang and the teabaggers are all over the news every time they turn around. These people are the real heroes and the ones who keep me halfway sane in this insane world.

3. K&R. Can't even begin to say how appreciative I am for

these people trying to raise awareness to the fact that it is long over due-End these stupid wars.

6. Lady Liberty becomes a war monger

Thank you brave Americans for finally stepping up and protesting 2 wars WITHOUT END. America's war machine and petroleum interests have made these uncalled for wars the longest wars in our history. Brave americans die and are mutilated daily in these two wars. They are large holes in the bucket of our economy costing over a trillion dollars (more than the tax cut package on it's way to Obama's desk). America has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed all over the planet at the same time that our educational system has been rated as one of the worst in the world. The campaign contributions of large corporations control the legislators of our country. Will it take over 50,000 fatalities like it did in Vietnam for our people to rise up in protest? It's not the children of the ultra-wealthy or children of our legislators who are dieing in these 2 ridiculous wars. Lay down your sword and shield Lady Liberty and get out of the war business. Our military could take on and defeat the combined forces of earth. When will we feel safe? Stop the wars!!
