Dear Jane:
Thank you, I went to my first protest ever, this Saturday in Washington, DC
500,000 strong.
I went with my 16 year old daughter, my 10 and half year old nephew, 2 brothers-in-law and 494,000 other amazing peace supporting peoples.
We walked for 4 miles in the freezing cold, supposedly but it  was warm the whole time. My daughter and I sang "amazing grace" and the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Last night I had the Strangest dream..." And people joined in around us.
My nephew talked about Korea and economies. These kids are amazing.
And when I returned home, my youngest called from her best friends house and asked," how was the protest Mommy? Did it work?" and I was warmed by her innocence, and I said I did not know how the Administration would respond, and she said "oh then it was a waste of time, and I said NO nothing done in the service of good is EVER a waste of time."

Thank you for this Jane, I wasn't sure, and now I am weeping with relief and I have printed this out so my 12 year old can see it and know that good is at work too.
Blessings,
Jane Parker
