Grannie Ruth explained that we have a few prepared speeches, after which Lady Liberty would show up. She then led us in a couple of songs to get our blood moving.

Medea Benjamin told us about a woman who had contacted her earlier in the day, asking that her name and words get taken off the Global Exchage website. That woman was afraid of what the government might do to her kids. Medea expressed outrage that the government would put someone in that kind of state. Then she asked us all "do we want to live in a country like that?" Some few voices said "No." She asked again "do we want to live in a country like that?" This time the chorus was much louder "NO!" Medea left the stage to a warm round of applause.

Lady Liberty needed help to get through the crowd. When she got to the stage she collapsed. Grannie Ruth explained that to revive her it was going to take the Bill of Rights. We took turns leading the rest of the crowd in reading them. She was back on her feet after the first four amendments

The Dr. (a real Doctor) that supervised reviving Lady Liberty gave a speech that was thick with puns. My head was swimming and my belly was aching by the time he sat down.

I'm not sure if this picture is of the Viet Nam Vet that learned what a mistake that war was after he had killed a bunch of people or the professor that went over to eastern Europe and wrote about the situation over there and got thrown out because they didn't like what he had to say. There were quite a few interesting points made by both of them.
