There were more than just righties Saturday June 17 at the Highlands Ranch Question Alliance event.
We did hear the typical retorts: "Nooooo"; "Get a life"; "Get a job"; "F--- Y--"; "Remember 9/11"; "Thank God for George Bush". But there were some thoughtful and insightful responders, as well.
We feel that even the negative responses are indications that people are reading the signs and contemplating the questions, which is what we want. It felt like there was some extra tension in the air this morning that has been missing the past couple of months -- perhaps due to all the activities this past week. There seemed to be a bit more anger from some but also more people seemed willing to express their opposition to the war by giving us the thumbs up and friendly waves.
Our plans are to press on with Iraq War related questions for the next few times probably. Keeps people thinking.
By the way, this was the 20th Question Alliance event since we started 14 months ago. We had all 4 corners covered by 6 people- hurrah!!!!
Our next event is July 1. We'll send information soon on the exact wording we intend to use!

I always love to hear the post Question Alliance update. I'm glad you are tackling the Iraq War questions. There's still a lot of folks out there who just don't get what is going on over there.
you may want to point out that in Feb 2006, Zogby International did a poll in Iraq with our troops on the ground.. 72% surveyed said to End the "war" Occupation by the end of the year.
Translated: Get us outta here this is a FLAWED PLAN!
I don't believe for a minute that 72% of Troops would indicate these findings if they TRULY FELT and SAW that they were making a difference.
Keep up the good work in Co. and I'll do my part in IL.
