August 29, 2007 Berea, Kentucky.
Just
15 hours after 250 protesters gathered at Senator Mitch McConnell's house,
in Louisville, Kentucky he was greeted by protesters in Berea, Kentucky.
While Senator Mitch McConnell was attending a luncheon at the
Historic Boone Tavern,
in Berea, Kentucky protesters chanted "Mitch can you hear us we are the people"
and "support the troops end the war. The protesters continued chanting until
Mitch McConnell's senior staff person came out and had some dialogue with the
protesters. When the protesters asked the senior staff person to talk with
Mitch, he said that would not be possible!!!!
For those of you that don't live in Kentucky, Berea is a small town right
smack dab in the middle of one of the reddest states in the union.
It appears that Mitch can't go anywhere in Kentucky without being greeted
by protesters. It's almost like being under house arrest.
The "Take a Stand Campaign" is a nation-wide organizing drive to demand that members of Congress and the Senate take a stand with the vast majority of Americans who want a safe and responsible redeployment of American Forces from Iraq.
Across America, over 100 "Iraq Summer" organizers are working to involve thousands of ordinary Americans in an effort to pressure targeted members of Congress to vote to bring a safe end to the war. This "Take A Stand Campaign" will culminate with "Take A Stand" town meetings to be held on August 28th, immediately before congress reconvenes.
There are lots of ways to get involved -- from attending a Take a Stand town hall in your area to helping organize and spreading the word about the event. To sign up for an event near you, CLICK HERE. For more information about getting involved, contact Cammie Croft at cammie@iraqcampaign.org.
