As the welcoming crowds awaited the arrival of Senator Obama to speak, outside on the street AWARE had a first hand session with the senator.
AWARE pressed the point that on some issues our senator has let us down. Many were asking him to speak more forcefully against the war and to bring the US military home now!
He has not come around to speaking for our demand to bring the troops home now!
But today AWARE was able to get our point of view to Senator Obama and to the public.
Security at the terminal building tried to halt the passing of our flyers. They wanted our protest signs out of the parking lot........However, when the senator invited AWARE inside we were then able to take our message to the public and media inside.
Senator Obama is not yet speaking to bring the military home! But at least he is now AWARE that people in the state of Illinois are saying: Bring the troops HOME! End the WAR NOW! |
