On April 19th, four of us went to the intersection of Odana Road and Gammon Road for the Monthly Peace Vigil. We got 446 Honks for Peace and Impeachment! Plus 4 Birdies for War. It was a lovely day and we felt very encouraged by the passion people put into honking their horns!! We are not alone in our opposition to the war.
