Here we are at the Fair. What a great day for something like this. We got a break from the heat. Here is what our booth looked like when I got there.
Here are Dave Hersch and Larry Bryant, two of my favorite people meeting for the first time. Dave is the peace guy and Larry is Mr. Impeachment, but they got along famously.
When Steve Hayes has a good idea, get with the program and see stuff happen. Steve decided he would open his very own Peace boutique right here in Manassas, VA. He had some purchased items but he also had another brainstorm. Steve decided to spray on the image of Veterans for Peace on plain white T-shirts. It was a great way to interest the crowd in joining Veterans for Peace.The shirts that Steve made in the back were used for Veterans for Peace recruitment efforts. He worked very hard to produce them and the people loved them. That's Steve in the second picture below, holding up an Impeach Shirt in Impeachment orange. He gave me one of those to wear while recruiting Alexandria signatures.
When Illana got there, the energy level got cranked up. She and Larry began working the crowd.
Tony Treolis from Veterans for Peace joined us and made some wonderful additions to the booth.
All and all it was a wonderful day and we enjoyed it very much. The crowd was not totally in our favor, but we did generate a lot of interest and I think some people really appreciated that we were there.

At this Fair I sold 50+ impeachment buttons and got 70 signatures to impeach Dick Cheney for war crimes. These signatures were delivered to Congressman Tom Davis today, and will also be delivered to Congressman Wolf.
