Although the local media covered the Iraq Summer event at the Brighton Mill Pond well, there is nothing like video for letting people see what they missed by not being there themselves.
Last Thursday (July 26, 2007) field organizers Mike Webb and Jake Coffey set up a cardboard cut-out of Rep. Mike Rogers and invited constituents of the Brighton Republican to give him a message about ending the Iraq war. The people gave him an earful, but the cardboard cut-out listened about as well as the real thing to their concerns about the human and financial cost of this war.
Iraq Summer followed up with the presentation of a yard sign to a Rogers' staffer by Tom Ford, from Shiawassee Veterans for Peace.
Here's the youtube video of Ford at work:
Notice that the staffer doesn't actually take the sign or even touch it. Apparently, he's afraid it might be contagious.
Peace. Pass it on.
