And this:

And this:

And this:

Vets for Peace and Iraq Vets against War

The hot Code Pink props combined with screaming yellow ANSWER posters make quite a statement. Gotta hand it to ANSWER, they print up some sharp in-your-face graphics and distribute them widely.


The peace and love-peddling Kucinich folks were out on force...and a few Ron Pauls.

"Everybody look what's goin' down..." I had many  moments of - WHAT YEAR IS IT?  1969 ?  
Peace signs everywhere:

Bob Dylan quotes:

Pink Floyd tee shirts (is that Yoko Ono on the right?):

Flag-wrapped protestor luv:

"Young people speakin' their minds..."

He is turning 18 and worried about being drafted, he says.

One of the young folks referred to the cops as "fuzz".  I haven't heard that expression since "Mod Squad" went off the air...But look! Not one gray head in this rapt crowd...

Vashon Island, Everett, Kitsap County for Peace...

More young people speakin' their minds:

A rough-looking Lady Liberty  - wearing a Che t-shirt? Now I've seen everything...

Mourning Iraqi:

The People's Judge:

The People's Jury:

Peace Doves:

War resistors:

The Last War:

Of course the famous BACKBONE:

MOTHER EARTH:

The radiant source of SOLAR POWER, with a poster depicting a happy, peaceful, solar-powered and monorailed Seattle.

And lastly THANKS to the tireless Bill Moyer and the BACKBONE CAMPAIGN  BAND for creating a dynamic beat for marching.
