Cars and trucks passed by waving, clapping and thanking us for standing up, with relatively few thumbs down. Several vigilers called in pledges to WOJB 88.9 FM, our local community radio station’s fall fund drive while others spoke live on the radio (right) via cell phone. Some yummy brownies were available and the Wiscokidd played sing-a-long tunes! Pamphlets for the Progressive Democrats of America circulated highlighting their “Healthcare not Warfare” platform, as well as Iraq Moratorium pamphlets to those who had not heard about the “Every Third Friday” events nationwide.
