If You’re Not Insane You’re Not Paying Attention!
By Emma Kaplan
I went with World Can’t Wait to Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert’s “Restore Sanity Rally and/or Fear.” Stewart called out people “who are too busy to protest.” He launched this rally in oppostion to what he referred to as two extremes, those who think that “Obama is a socialist” and those who called “Bush a war criminal.” This set the tone for the rally. Walking through the crowds, it was an eclectic circus. Signs degrading protest and political action read, “The Loudest Know The Least" and “I’m Apathetic.”
Some people had signs actually challenging the Tea Party that said, “Tea Party: I’m Sorry You Are Losing Your White Power” and another that said “ I love homosexuals, Muslims and socialists.” People were dressed up from everything to Hooters girls to Hugh Hefner to Ronald Regan.

I am in Killeen, TX at Under The Hood Cafe near the Fort Hood military base tonight. I am down here for the protests happening on Sunday being called by the Disobedient.
The Disobedient is made up of Iraq era war vets and others anti- war activists, mainly young people. These protests are going to include visible non-violent resistance to the 3,000 troop surge being headed to Iraq. They are acting to create a situation where the U.S. cannot continue this illegitimate and illegal war - that deployments not only stop but that the military withdraws immediately.

Seeing as I had just found out about it the day before they were to arrive, I wasn't sure if there was enough time to mobilize protest. However, I recalled the story of Jamilah Hoffman in

We Are Not Your Soldiers Meets the Warped Tour
By Emma Kaplan 
World Can't Wait has hit three stops of the Warped Tour; Ventura, Pomona and San Francisco in California. This year, the Warped Tour has a variety of bands .... from older political punks who are in their 30's and 40s' to some Christian punk bands. This drew a variety of age groups, including families who brought their kids out, to youth that came on their own. The demographic was mainly white. Many people were either in the military, came from a military family or had recently joined.
