During our stand with the Carroll County Progressives on Saturday, August 18, 2007, we noticed a continuing police presence on the roads. We had our stand on a busy 4 way intersection located in Eldersburg, Maryland . We all noticed that the traffic coming from the south was way more appreciative of our signage than any other direction. Most coming from the east were abusive and showed their ignorance by vocalizing their resolve to support George Bush.
We do not view this as a "republican v democrat" issue, we view this as a peace v war issue.
As Margaret, the coordinator of WIB Westminster accurately pointed out, we had a permit wherein they knew we would be there, they knew what time we would be there, and yet, the police chose to round us up, at the end of our "Honk To Impeach" stand.
The full account of the police activity can be seen on the Carrol County Progressives web site.
The video can be accessed by going to the Women In Black Westminster web site
