There was an anti-war demonstration in Chico today, attended by about 100 people. The group held a short rally at the downtown plaza, then marched a block and joined the weekly peace vigil on Main Street that has been a regular Saturday even in town ever since a Nike missile silo was built outside of town in the 60s. Chico is in a very conservative, primarily agricultural County, and yet the demonstrators were met with many, many car honks in support, and no antagonism or disapproval whatsoever.
The demostration was organized after a "pro-war rally" (they really called it that) was sponsored by the local Republican party last week. Only about twenty people showed up for it. Maybe there's hope. tim ===== Check out the Chico Examiner listserves at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DisorderlyConduct http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChicoLeft Subscribe to the Chico Examiner for only $40 annually or $25 for six months.
