In spite of the pouring rain and cold temperature, about 50 people attended the rally today to protest the war and continued occupation of Iraq. Passionate speeches, great music and satirical theater stirred and entertained the crowd, which contained many new faces this year. The event was covered by Channel 8.

Because of the skies opening up around noon, the protest scheduled for West Town today was postponed until tomorrow.
