February 15, 2003 was my 45th birthday. I used the min-DV camera that I'd bought for this purpose to shoot the huge protest in San Francisco on that day, as well as other protests including in Oakland and the impromptu protests in SF just after the invasion on March 19. Isabelle from We Are...
Dear People - I had concomittant constitutional legislation based upon the 1798 Virginia resolves in comittee in both the House and Senate of the State of Washington that may have stopped the attack on Iraq.
