Hill Country Peace Group March in Fredericksburg

The much-needed overnight rain passed, leaving semi-blue skies and 68 degrees for today's Fredericksburg Peace march. Organizers (the Hill Country Peace Group) will be hard-pressed to rival today's weather for the next one in Austin. More on that next march at the bottom.

The 50 of us (the number near-doubled after the picture was taken) who showed up for the march at the Gillespie County courthouse grounds were a decidedly un-seditious group of American patriots who just want its government to do better. We served as a reminder to all who passed by that there is an un-just war being fought on their dime, and that the best way we can support the troops is to bring them home.

I talked to several people from Bandera, to a few from Fredericksburg, and the Moore brothers from Utopia, on whose initiative this march happened. Unfortunately, Kendall County had only one representative that I spotted, and that was me.

There's a major protest to mark the three-year anniversary of the war being declared for Saturday March 18th in Austin. Barring unforseens, I'll be going. I'm hopeful the wife and daughter will be there too. And I hope we can arrange for an extended Boerne, or Kendall County contingent to go as well. We'll be discussing it in the three weeks between now and then.

Remember this: protesting is your right, and using it is a patriotic act.
