Nixon Library anti-war protest attracts 600-1000 people
By Duane J. Roberts
Orange County, California is usually not known for its progressive politics, but today it was the home to one of the biggest anti-war demonstrations in its history.
It is estimated that between 600 to 1,000 people converged on the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda to express their opposition to the Bush administration's planned war against Iraq.
The protestors participating in today's demonstration ranged from soccer moms pushing strollers full of young children to a contingent of Blac Bloc anarchists waving their black flags.
Hundreds stretched out more than a half mile along some of Yorba Linda's busiest streets and intersections, reflecting a broad cross section of American society.
It was clear to any passersby that persons of all ages, races, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and political ideologies were involved in this protest.
The demonstration itself offers strong evidence that many different segments of the population are becoming deeply disturbed by the actions of their rulers.
That it took place in one of the most right-wing cities in Southern California shows that no community anywhere in this country remains unaffected by the growing discontent.
