So, I began my day yesterday with the usual protest/demonstration. This time for civil liberties with the ACLU. It was really exciting! We marched into this little coutroom like room, and the Public Utilities Commission sat up on a little bench. And we sat there with our goofy liberty crowns and signs.
Our little ACLU lawyer guy who looked like he was about 12 addressed the committee, telling them that the time for an investigation into phone companies violating civil rights was now. It was just like the movies...er kinda. Then Rachel, who I've been working with at the ACLU to develop a kids' curriculum on civil rights, unpacked 1,800 petitions signed by Colordo residents and laid them on the table. At this point, I yelled "Heellls yeeeah!" Okay, I didn't, but that's what I was thinking.
Later in the day, Rachel emailed me and said that she thought my "beautiful face" would be in the Denver Post today. So, this morning, I fervently looked through the paper to be confronted by this picture.
Sonofa! Why do I always end up looking like a zombie or retarded in pictures that get circulated! (Please refer to 6/2/2006 post "Deep Reflection During Director's Speech" and/or if any of you can remember the last time I was in the Post for a Women's/Peace protest - same thing going on.)
Oh well, next protest I'm gonna act like a model, flipping my hair, smiling at all times, putting vaseline on my teeth so I can keep smiling and not get lip stick on my teeth - brilliant!
