Politically Speaking...: Newark March for Peace, Equality, Jobs, and Justice

Some pictures from "The Peoples March for Peace, Equality, Jobs, and Justice" in Newark New Jersey. Over a thousand people from more then 150 organizations showed up for the march. I attended it with my friends John and Allie, and we went up with the "Princeton Peace Coalition," http://www.peacecoalition.org/. It was great to see so many people showing their support for our troops and calling for an end to violence both domestic and abroad. Some people say that protesting doesn't really do a lot, but I say something is better then nothing. Its a lot better then just sitting around and taking no action at all. The more protests - the more media coverage. The more media coverage - the more public pressure on elected officials to take action. The only three presidential candidates that have promised to bring the troops home are Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and GOP underdog Ron Paul. Keep that in mind as we get closer to the all-out campaign season.
