If you weren't in Cedar Rapids, IA on January 11th, you missed a beautiful sight. You can still see it here - http://www.youtube.com/...
The evening was quite cold and rainy. Also, the Democratic Governor was holding his inaugural festivities just a few miles away, pulling off many people who might have normally participated.
Despite all of this, plus the short notice (less than 24 hours notice) the people of Cedar Rapids turned out in force to say "no" to President Bush’s plans to escalate the war in Iraq.
Watch this video to get a flavor of what it was like to be there.
