I am ashamed to be in Rochester right now. Protests have raged on even as American and British troops fight in Iraq. People spout off how they are doing this BECAUSE they are Americans, and that they have read the First Amednment and know what they’re doing is legal. No one is arguing about whether they CAN protest, but if they SHOULD protest. US troops would die for the people who are protesting, essentially, against them. It’s time for people to stand up, be an American, and support the men and women that are fighting on our behalf.
