My mom lives out past Freeport and she's been itching for a fight.
She's handicapped with very limited mobility. When she sees the protests on TV it excites her yet gives her a sad. Starts telling her stories from the 60's of protesting the Viet Nam war and being at the protest '68 Democratic Convention (you remember? I had you with me. *mom, I was 3 I don't remember* You remember, I was running carrying you in my arms, cop almost hit you in the head with a billyclub, got me in the shoulder *mom, I was 3 I don't remember* mmm well, we were out there because........)

When ever I go to marches she always tells me, I wish I could be there with you. I tell her she's the best damn telephone commando ever! This will give her another # to give a piece of her mind to. Thanks.
