8. 968 or more.

I don't think that there has ever been a protest "sign" that has moved me as much. That won't be the last time that flag draped coffins are used at an anti-Bush protest.

11. Wicked awesome!

I called my husband in to see them on tv. Very very moving!

Reminded me of the 60s/early 70s. Flashback to my youth and another terrible war!

These marchers have shown so much creativity and innovation. I wish I had kept track of all the signs. Some of the handwritten ones were very clever.

Edited for typos.
