I met the guy
behind the BUCK FUSH stickers, selling them out of a tray. I showed him
the BUCK FUSH he had sold me at an anti war march before the war began.
It's been on my water bottle, getting more scratched with every year
that passes. He said "for that you get a free sticker." I took one with
a picture of 43 snarling like a spoiled brat with the caption "WORST
PRESIDENT EVER". If you want it, let me know where to mail it.
The Green Party
gathered for a group shot near the rally at the end of the march.
Unfortunately, the battery in my camera died at that point, so I
couldn't share that with you. However, there were quite a few of us
that didn't make it into the picture, but were there.
I first met Pam
Elizondo at the Green Party Convention in Wisconsin. She was working
the floor with that same sign in the same T shirt. Here it is a year
later, and she has only refined her technique. The flier she gave me
had the headline "we need marijuana farms, not arms for gasoline",
among other things. I'm hoping she gets more votes next year than she
got last year.
Seeing this
guy's shirt was the first I'd ever heard of the California Marijuana
Party. I've not heard about them going for ballot access or anything
like that.
Pink pants was
one of the last people I talked to. She was nice and sweet and a treat
to look at. After that, I just lay down in the grass and rested for a
while. The battery in my camera was dead, and my feet were tired.
